Title: New guy from Arkansas
Post by: Roscoe on October 06, 2010, 08:33:53 PM
 Hey, everyone. I'm new, obviously. I was kinda hesitant to join an Apostolic forum since  I've lurked around a couple of them and found some of the worse kinda attitudes I could imagine. After lurking here for a while, though , I believe you guys are more like the apostolic pentecostal people I've known my entire life, so here I am. A little about me- I'm 34 years old, married to the most beautiful, Godly woman alive, and we're blessed to be parents of a four year old princess. :) I've been a cop for close to ten years now (thus the user name). I've been raised old fashioned Apostolic Pentecostal since my Mama carried me into one at seven days old. By the grace of God, I've remained even through the usual time of doubt and teenage wanderlust.  To give you an idea of my raising, my home church was UPC until recently when we went independant, although we still fellowship and have many friends still UPC.  I look forward to being a member here, and maybe I can help someone else get through a trying time. That's what we're here for, right? God bless, Bob

 Technically, I guess I'm a Robert, but that sounds so stuffy! Apparently Bob is a good name to have here,lol. And YooperYankDude, if they give us too much problems- well, I DO carry a gun for a living,lol.  Thanks for the welcome.

Bob... good to know... Guns are awesome (legally owned of course! lol)... what kind do they issue up there? I am not a cop... but was in the USAF, and I built things that I cant mention on Buses, Planes, or trains! lol...

Love the SigArms GSR 1911!  That is my dream handgun!

Don't worry... they give all kinds of problems on here... but the cool thing... we just give it back to them!   :laughhard:

And I go by YYD for short... but my real name is Thomas... not Bob... but someone *cough* gave me that name in a fit of rage when I thought her name was Jill the Dragon...

:P

YYD, I work for the Arkansas State Capitol Police and we carry Glock .40 calibers. I am, however, from the school of thought that the best handgun caliber ever made is a .45, and am fighting the sins of lust and envy over a friend's new 1911 Kimber.I think I'm gonna surrender and go buy a 1911, if my loving, Godly wife can be persuaded to not use it on me when she finds it. :)

Post by: Scott on October 07, 2010, 12:45:19 AM
bleh! 

I am not  huge Glock Fan.  I want the new Apostolic Handgun, the Sig P-238, then If I carry a hatchet in my car I'd have an Ax and a 238!   :laughhard:

I am not a cop, although I did a stint as Campus 5-0 many years ago, did some Bodyguard work and am working on my Bail Bondsman License.  Bondsman, not Bounty Hunter!

My preferred carry piece is S&W .38 Chief's Special, although I have a sweet Colt Cobra .38 Det. Spec. and AMT .380 Kurz (Backup). I am fight my sin of envy over the new S & W .380 Bodyguard, a scaled down version of the  M&P 9mm.
Title: Re: New guy from Arkansas
Post by: Roscoe on October 07, 2010, 01:02:17 AM
 Love the S&W and the Colt. My off duty carry piece is usually a Taurus CIA650 .357- fitting since my wife thinks I'm full of bull (Taurus) anyway. I'll be checking out the Apostolic handgun, I haven't heard much about it. While I'm not a huge Glock fan, they're definately functional, fairly accurate, and almost idiot proof. Being a firearms instructor, I'm amazed at some of the new recruits I deal with and their gun knowledge. I'm not a gun expert, but please! Good luck with the Bondsman gig- one of the toughest I've ever worked with was a 4'11" redhead female German immigrant- tougher than a $2 steak.

The Glock: the newer Glocks have adjustable grips to make much more comfortable in the hands. Personally, I don't like the way it feels in my hand. But with three internal safetys and test drops from 40 feet it is a safe gun. The Glock has been suggested as the perfect gun for the novice shooter.

HOWEVER: The Springfield XD series is perhaps the safest with the unique trigger system and pressure plate in the grip! The Springfield is the official Gun of Front Sight in Nevada.

My son has the S&W Sigma (it is a glock clone) and a Rossi .357 and both of us are considering the Taurus District Attorney .45/.410 (a smaller version of the Judge).

LOL!

I didn't know they did that for real... I thought the "good cop" / "bad cop" was a hollywood creation!  LOL! 

I have never ridden in a Police Car before... or been arrested.  I sat in a Police car once, but that was because my truck died, and was waiting for a tow truck in 15 degree weather...  :lol:

 Actually, we just joke between us about being good/bad. I can say that in real life it can be somewhat effective, we just usually won't be as over the top as Hollywood,lol.

Bob, Bobb and Bobby?

''He's a Bob, but he's not Bobb...which Bob is he not...neither one he's Bobby''

Could be Rob...not sure if that meshes well with being a cop and all. :smirk2:

I'm, IBOB :) You've seen the discussion on that.

I don't recall his name, but nearly 20 years ago, I met a brother from one of our Oklahoma UPC churches that was a member of the capital police (all state troopers, I think,) but worked in a building in Tulsa.

As to Seth beng King, that's a rather fowl statement.perhaps he should be tarred (the way he spells being tired,) and feathered (if his minions can spare the feathers!)

Yeah "IBOB", I'm going to be conversing with the other Bob over that little matter. :biglaugh:

Arkansas is a bit different- Our Capital police is a seperate agency from the state police, with statewide arrest powers. All the benefits of being a trooper with none of the downsides. It's the perfect law enforcement job for someone in church,  as working the street makes it difficult to keep a walk with God, to put it mildly.

And I think I've figured out the "Chicken King". If his minions can't spare the feathers, I'll find some- I live in Arkansas where Tyson is incorporated, so it shouldn't be too hard. :thumbsup2:

Hi, BOB! :hi:

My name is Ruby. But then, you already know that.
And I like tea. But then, you know that, too.

Hmm... ummm....

I like koalas. And I want to visit Italy. And I have an uncle that used to be a sheriff. And my grandpa restored old planes.

Oh, for pity sake!... what's the point of these welcome threads anyhow, unless to make us sound insane?

I'll try this again...

Hi, BOB! I'm Ruby. I'm an insane GPer. And now you are too! Welcome to the insanity! :hypocrite:
