  Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three is a pattern, and a thousand times is a problem. There is a scene that gets played out in police stations, which seems like no big deal on its face, but points to a larger issue: the lack of respect some younger officers have when older, retired officers cross their paths.

  I have been using a quality red dot sight for many years on my AR-15 platform. But I've found that although this style of sight allows me a fast target acquisition for close-quarter battle (CQB), I lose the ability for precision shooting past 100 yards when using it.

My AR platform will consistently shoot better than 1 minute-of-angle (MOA), meaning it could shoot within an inch o
