A recent article from Massad Ayoob I thought some might find interesting since the topic was being discussed recently.

I've been a fan of his since the 70's. I've read all his books and most of his articles. I was lucky enough to meet him and have a short chat in 1996. He is one of the experts whose advice I value.

I would have loved to train with him but unfortunately the geography was against me. 😁

I have followed him almost as long. I remember way back, reading about when he entered a courtroom as an expert witness after a shooting and the insinuation was that the bad guy did not look armed. Ayoob then took weapon after weapon out to show how easily weapons could be concealed. I always appreciated his no BS approach.
 
Posted about these folks solar panel sales before but SanTan Solar has a 30% off sale on some solar panels right now.

Vikram 375w panels listed as New Panels, for $63. That’s nuts, at $0.17/watt.

If the proposed tariffs happen, solar panel prices will probably go up.

Any know who OTF-MAN OTF-MAN is? 🤔

Apparently, he's strictly a seller (dealer?) on The Exchange who (based on the search I just did) doesn't post anything anywhere else on BF.

I stopped looking at his listings because he only posts videos of the knives he's selling (of which there are many) which take too long to view & make me dizzy in the process. LOL! 🤷‍♂️

"We are diminished" is one of those terms that is often used when a fellow LEO or service member passes...especially in the line of duty.

Today is one of those days for bladeforums. We lost my oldest friend and co-moderator of many years. One of the truly good people that we are privileged to meet during our years walking this earth.

He made the world a better place and will be sorely missed.

(Just needed to say something here, as I often spend a good part of my days in this sandbox.)
