how come cops and fireman cant get along??
[/QUOTE]
 I get along fine with the firemen that I work with, but they're public safety officers (PSO),which is police, fire, and EMS in one small check. It's a long story, but really these guys are firemen that have to play police sometimes. Their a good group of guys for the most part but their not cops. That's ok though I still got a good job and they help make it easy.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

the dept im on we dont care for the cops we work with, there dispatchers have a tendency turn the volume down on our radio channels and then when we need traffic control on car wrecks there isnt a  deputy to be found, and then if we have a domestic they take 30 min to get to where we are. and if you wanna see a pissing contest try to get the highway patrol to close down a lane of traffic on a road. when we help other depts in another county near us though there cops are great to work with.

Oh yea, almost forgot, I tried to buy a Nikon but somebody beat me to it. I got a Zeiss instead, I guess the guy did me a favor. I would like to try a Nikon tactical in 4-16x50 mil dot though.

 Well, where are all the Nikon fanatics??  Where is the lynch mob?  The torches?  The Indignation?  Where is all the civil rights activists complaining to the SWFA management and dropping their memberships??

The "city cops" here don't like the "Highway Patrol cops", they call 'em AAA with a badge. Bucky

I own Nikons actually. I just don't care what others think. I guess I'm not like a Leupy fanatic that thinks everyone should bow down to them and crown them supreme. If you don't like them, fine. I'll shoot my critters with them anyway. Wait until pyro gets a hold of you though.  Laser Zap

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
