PSA, drugs are bad M'Kay.

Today a trip for lightbulbs and an AC filter turned into an hour and a half on the side of the road because someone could not handle their "insert drug of choice".

This lady entered the roundabout from the north, she was maybe going 3mph, she stopped in the roundabout at the west entrance then continued in my direction. as she passed in front of me with her head and eyes locked forward her hands slid off her wheel and she crossed 3 lanes of traffic almost hitting a car coming to rest against the bridge. She was further slowed by the 5 curbs she drove over giving drivers time to react.

I was the first person to the car. She was unresponsive to touch or commands. her eyes were fixed forward, and she was rigid. As I was trying to get the car turned off, FUCKING PUSH BUTTON START CARS, more people came over. The 3 person knew the women and she called her my name and the woman's eyes fluttered, she was in genuine surprise that people were in her car, she started to light a smoke, then tried to put the car in gear. The, smart thinking lady who opened the passenger door, threw the lady's purse out far enough away that the key connection was broken, and she could not start the car.

At this point the driver became combative, and ran down 50A where she encountered the NHP who had to continue the chase on foot. The driver passed out in the highway median and was transported away after being stabilized by EMS.

Thank you to the North Lyon County Fire Department and the Nevada Highway Patrol for being timely and professional.

Thank you to 1/3 of a local CCW class that had just let out and it's instructors who stopped to help with this situation.

I hope the driver gets the help she needs.

I'd like to add this is one of a zillion reasons I don't miss being an LEO.

Cooperating with police while Armed

I just finished up a quick segment on WKLIF in Dallas about interacting with the police while armed. It is a topic that I have been speaking about quite often lately. For over two decades, I have been on both sides of this interaction and had it go very well and not so well at times. Having worked as a police officer in both urban & rural environments and dealt with many people who were armed (legally or illegally), there are definitely, I can assure you that your behavior, actions and attitude can have a dramatic affect on the officer’s perception of safety. I prefer the idea of “Cooperate”, over the traditional advice of “comply” when it comes to interactions with the police while armed. The idea is to de-escalate any potential tension, not increase any tension already existing because of the officer’s concerns. If you are carrying gun for personal defense, you should have a good idea of the types of behaviors or motions that could alarm a police officer. Some quick tips: 1. Always calmly let the officer know that you are legally armed with a gun or any other defensive tool. Tell them, don’t show them. Regardless of whether or not it is required by law, this is always a good idea. 2. Keep you hands visible,and don’t make any sudden movements. 3. Keep you hands open when possible and away from the part of your body where any defensive tool is concealed. 4. Remember that the officer you are talking to may not be the only officer watching you, there may another officer observing from a different angle that can see things as well. 5. Keep your ID and CCW Permit on your body at a spot where there are no defensive tools so that accessing them can be done without simultaneously reaching towards something the officer could consider threatening. 6. Lower tinted windows, turn your interior light on at night and place your hands (with fingers splayed open) on the steering wheel when an officer approaches your vehicle. These simple tips can help you to de-escalate any interaction with police officers and let them quickly know that you mean them no harm and intend to cooperate with them, regardless of the nature of the interaction. As the number of CCW Permit Holders has grown dramatically, I.C.E. Training Company has also been educating police officers about interacting safely and professionally with armed citizens for many years.

Pentagon again sends land mines to Ukraine with a wink and a nod

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is upping its flow of land mine capability to Ukraine, looking the other way to the questionable use of land mines by both Ukraine and Russia in the current conflict.

Cold War style anti-tank ladies are included in the latest military assistance package, $325 million,  announced last week for Ukraine.

The Pentagon would not say how many M21 mines were included in the assistance package.

Earlier in the conflict, the Pentagon sent anti-personnel mines, known as Claymores, to Ukraine. U.S. officials say the landmines are provided with no guidance or, at least publicly, with no strings attached — a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy which gives the Pentagon the ability have it both ways if U.S.-supplied weapons are used outside the bounds of international treaties.

The Claymore anti-personnel mine, under some circumstances and tactical use, is prohibited by the Ottawa land mines treaty.

Under the treaty, Claymores can be used if detonated only with a remote control device, meaning an individual has to do it with purpose and not be accident. If they are rigged to detonate with a tripwire or other trick method they are prohibited.

“We provide equipment to the Ukrainians, and they determine how they're going to use it,” Brig Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon spokesperson, said at a previous Pentagon briefing when asked about concerns surrounding the Claymore mine.

He also said that “to clarify, too, I think sometimes the -- the term, you know, as I looked into this, admittedly, as an Air Force guy. This is an antipersonnel device above ground, so mines in that sense is a little bit of a misnomer, but yeah.”

The 1997 Mine Ban Treaty comprehensively prohibits all types of victim-activated explosive devices, regardless of the technical features and regardless of the mine’s predicted longevity, delivery method, or type of manufacture (improvised or factory-made).

The M21 is not banned by the Ottawa treaty. It does not have self-destruct features; that means when fighting concludes, they would have to be removed manually. It is metal, and thus can be detected easier thank plastic version.

It is is a high explosive antitank landmine which uses the Misznay-Schardin effect (high explosive wave that propels a concave steel plate at extremely high velocity) against the underside, tracks, or wheels of armored vehicles. It is activated by an M607 fuze which functions upon application of either horizontal or vertical pressure.

About 200,000 M21 mines were produced in the U.S. and licensed copies, the K441 and K442, were produced in South Korea. The Pentagon has an estimated 175,000 M21 mines stockpiled.

Ukraine signed the Mine Ban Treaty on February 24, 1999 and became a state party on June 1, 2006.

Russia has not joined the treaty, but is bound by the prohibitions and restrictions on mines, booby-traps, and other devices found in Amended Protocol II of the UN Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW), as well as Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions and customary international humanitarian law. which was signed by Ukraine.

The United States is not a party to the treaty.

Russian forces have used at least seven types of antipersonnel mines in at least four regions of Ukraine: Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Sumy. This marks an unusual situation in which a country that is not party to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty uses the weapon on the territory of a party to the treaty.

Both Russian and Ukrainian forces have extensively used anti-vehicle mines (also called anti-tank mines) in at least six regions: Donetsk, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia. Hand-emplaced TM-62 series anti-vehicle mines appear to be the type most frequently used.

According to the Ottawa treaty, Claymores are mines covered by the treaty protocols, regardless if they are above or below the ground. Ryder then said, “The capabilities that we're providing are in compliance with the Ottawa Treaty.”

Requests to the Press and Information Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Department of Public Relations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for comments, clarifications and perspective did not generate responses.

Last June, the Biden administration announced that it would restrict the use of anti-personnel land mines by the U.S. military, aligning the country’s policy more closely with the international treaty.

“The president believes strongly that we need to curtail their use worldwide,” John Kirby, a national security spokesman, said at a White House briefing then.
