Well for the record I don't hate Tucker. That's reserved for ex presidents. Carlson is a product of our age and even 40 years ago might have been a fairly good investigative reporter.   First of all the 'collapse of testosterone in men' is kind of bullshit scare mongering. Typical Carlson trying to be Geraldo Rivera. It may be low and dropping but 'collapse'? Tucker should go work for Pecker at the National Enquirer. Pun intended... or not.   When you see stupid shit like this how can you take anything of his (Putin interview) as seriously.       I agree. Reporting and journalism used to be more respected, I won't say respectable but compared to today it was almost gosple. Newspapers paid well for good writers. Journalism began to nose dive in the '90s with the decline of newspapers. By 2000 it was seriously flawed. With the advent of the internet, you can print anything and you don't need journalists. Sure there may be a few good 'journalists' out there but they are buried under an avalanche of crap.   Just like politicians, journalists learn their craft and go out to 'make a difference' and 'change the world' but eventually they realize that it's not the way they thought it was and slowly, sooner or late, they stand under the streetlight with the rest of the  whores to pay for rent. 

Try 'POST e Bay and Craigslist ads here'. If YOU are selling it then the Classifieds.

It's not. But if you had posted a photo, we would have let it slide. 😁

And I am sorry if my statement was misleading, but I did not mean they should get to choose. 👍

Agreed. Which is why I would say give them the tool they have the best chance at being proficient with. 👍     Correct, most departments have a standard issue side arm that you have no choice in. There are a few cities around here that once you reach a certain milestone in your tenure, you can have more say in what that side arm is. I know at least one officer who carries a 45ACP 1911 because at 10+ years on the job they were allowed to choose their own side arm. He has said that detectives are given more leeway in their choice of weapon as well.    But I would also bet if you want to go to the city's gun range and shoot up their ammo, they only have 9mm.  😄
