It is official.

After 37 years, John retired from the Kingston Police Department.

It was a difficult decision for him to make.

Yesterday, 12/23, was a very tough day for him, but one that he will always remember. During his last tour of duty, he received many congratulatory phone calls, hand shakes and hugs from police officers and others. His tour ended at 11:00 (PM) with a remarkable "event".

As John left Police Headquarters, there were many parked law enforcement vehicles with lights flashing.
Officers from the Kingston Police Department, NY State Police and Town of Ulster Police Dept. stood at attention to salute John as he left.
Then, he was given a police escort home, with flashing lights all the way.

(Julie had to ride "shotgun" in the lead car to show the way.)

(The police dept. will be having a party in honor of John in January.)

Just wanted to share this with you!! Needless to say, I am soooooooooooo very proud of him!

John's e-mail is: valhalla1972@hotmail.com ,

if you want to drop him a note.

Love, Char

All of us in the New York Police
Combat Association wish to
congratulate John
on his long and illustrious
law enforcement career.

Enjoy your retirement John,
you earned it.

2011 NYPCA Annual Meeting

Well we've had the 2011 Annual meeting last Saturday Nov 12 and as usual there were only the executive board and about 5 other members to make all the decisions on changes for next years shooting season. So if you weren't there then you will have to accept the changes that were voted on and they were significant.

First of all we will be accepting out of state law enforcement as Associate Members who can receive association annual awards only in the open class. If they shoot sponsored matches during the season they will go by their NRA classification.

The second big change is the service weapon course of fire will be changed as follows:

STAGE 1: 3yds... double action 6 shots one hand (strong), from the standing unsupported position, 6 shots one hand (weak) standing unsupported position, 20 sec, includes reload

STAGE 2: 7 yds... double action, 12 shots from standing unsupported position, 20 seconds, includes reload

STAGE 3: 15 yds.. double action, 6 shots from standing unsupported position, 12 sec

STAGE 4: 25 yds.. double action, 6 shots kneeling strong hand using the barricade, 6 shots standing left hand barricade, 6 shots standing right hand barricade, includes reloading, 90 sec

Targets will be changed after stage 2 B27E target

If you shoot the service weapon at individual matches it will still be the lewis system for match sponsor awards.

The final big change is the designated team match (annual awards) was changed from the 1500 match to the service weapon match. The price for registering as a designated team at time of membership renewal will be $10 per team competitor.

For annual awards the teams will have a classification which will be broken down by the NRA classification percentage.

High Master …. 99.0 and above 476 to 480

Master………... 98.1 to 98.9 471 to 475

Expert………… 96.8 to 98.0 465 to 470

Sharpshooter…. 93.7 to 96.7 450 to 464

Marksman……. 90.1 to 93.6 433 to 463

Classified……. 90.0 and below 432 and below

So at the end of the season your average is 475 then you are a master your team partners end of season average is 470 he would be an expert so the team would be a master team.

Also on the NYS Police and Fire Games web site they have indicated that the games for 2012 and the future have been suspended.

But the NYPCA will continue to conduct the 2012 Law Enforcement Games (pistol) at the Monroe/Chester Sportsman Club on July 26-27-28, 2012.

Try to come out and keep the tradition going.

Last year we ran the games in June which was fairly successful.

2012 application and match dates are attached.

There is still a question of who the NYPD representative is.

The executive board of last year agreed to continue for 2012.

Harry

One of the newest
NYPCA Teams.
.


.
As you can see, Harry and Mike have finally come to a
agreement about the name of their shooting team.
.

From now on they will be the
Clark Chester Shooting Team.
.

Please note the
"Clark" is in Clarkstown blue
and the "Chester" is in Westchester orange.
.

The UN couldn't have worked out a better compromise!

Funky Locker Room Report
By Gerry Fleming

Time for a report on the Over and Under Match, (formerly the Bridge and Tunnel).
(Over the hill and under the weather).

Controversy and possible criminal activity mars the match and Harry wasn't even present.

First let it be noted that marine Fleming beat marine Andrews in the semi auto match.
This was on Friday after Fleming sold Andrews some "special 9mm ammo".
Andrews "claimed his gun jammed" and couldn't get off 5 shots.

The trouncing was severe 561-530.
Then on Saturday Fleming's clipboard (with calculator) was shot while sticking 2" above the log at 25 yrds.

Immediately Andrews was suspected but no one had seen him.

An investigation by Pete revealed than Andrews works for Kimber assembling scoped rifles (the truth) and was possibly in the woods behind the pistol range.

DNA samples of the bullet fragment and Andrews lunch plate have been forwarded to BCI and we are awaiting results.

Good to see Sal Matos and Derrick Lopez back at the matches.

When I inquired where Bassett was, Sal said he needed further remedial Sgts training and should be joining us in the future.

Derrick who likes to frequently switch occupations took on the role of drill instructor (military match) and so scarred the shooters with threats of expulsion and worse if there were any late shots that the 12 in 20 at the 7 & 15 yd lines averaged 8 seconds.

This of course caused some very low scores in match 1 and shook the shooters nerves for the rest of the match, possibly causing Andrews to fumble his rounds and lose to Fleming.

Let it be noted that Harry, a retired Colonel with the Army reserve failed to show for the Military match and instead went to Ohio.

Fear of Marine shooters suspected.

Time to start supporting our matches or we are going to lose them as only 22 shooters showed for this match.

Funky Locker Room Report

Well here are some highlights from Harry's RCPCPAHWMHRM
(Last 6 letters stand for Harry Wins Match Harry Runs Match).

First an incredible mix up with ammunition by Doc Eckerson.
Doc brought .45 ammo for a .38 wadcutter semi auto.

After several jams Harry inspected the gun and ammo and advised Doc to have Steve Albanese look at it.

Fleming walked over spotted the problem immediately and advised Doc to come back the next day with the right ammo,.(Which he did)

An investigation revealed that the Doc had been doing many breast examinations over the years particularly with sizes 38 and 45 and he simply got his boobs and bullets mixed up.
In the battle for the top spot we saw a city versus country competition between Albanese and Schatzel and the shooter from way up north took the honors with a 1474.

Over the years we have frequently seen small local departments soundly defeat the best NYPD teams that showed.

Schatzel had stopped at Walmarts to get a pair of $3.00 glasses and they worked. He fired a 594 match 5 leaving everyone wondering what's going on here.

After the match Walmarts parking lot was filled with shooters going for the glasses.
Harry who ran the match and printed the bulletin listed himself as the winner in both service gun matches, the semi auto match and the speed challenge.

This of course is being looked into.

Fleming did defeat Schatzel in stage 1 of the auto and did defeat Baumann in stage 1 of the speed challenge. Stage 2 requires better vision so Fleming was off to Walmarts after the match also.

As the Military Appreciation Match is coming up next, Harry wants Army representation to help battle the Marines that will be present (includes Andrew, Fleming, and Thurston).

He contacted Camp Smith and West Point to bring in their pistol teams but when they heard who was shooting but units declined saying "We wouldn't have a chance".

As a result Harry is off to Camp Perry to try and get some army shooters to show up.

Mike Mosner went back to his old ways after shooting the 1464 and has signed up for the Marine Corps Reserve to get more instruction and remain on top.
That's it for now.

Great matches on the Horizon including the State Championship and the Military Appreciation Match.

Expect miraculous results from the Marines.

Jerry Fleming

The Arizona Department of Safety Officer pulled over pick-up truck owner Mike Murray for a weapons check because of an NRA bumper sticker.

When the officer approached the vehicle, the man behind the wheel handed the officer his driver's license, insurance card and concealed carry permit.

The officer took all the documents, looked them over and said, "Mr. Murray, I see you have a CCP.

Do you have any weapons with you?" The driver replied, "Yes I do. I have a 357 handgun in a hip holster, a .45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot." The officer looked at Mike and asked, "Anything else?" "Yes. I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 in the trunk."

The officer asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range and the man said he wasn't, so the officer bent over and looked into the driver's face and said "Mr. Murray, you're carrying quite a few guns.

May I ask what you are afraid of?"

Mike locked eyes with the officer and calmly answered, "Not a fucking thing!!!"

Above is a photo of Harry's "birthday party" which ALWAYS takes place during the Law Enforcement Games....No matter what day his real birthday falls.

Note the waitress in the background at the restaurant hitting Harry on the head with the rubber hammer.

I think she hit too hard which affected his shooting Saturday morning.

This photo is posted on the blog as a public service message to remind other shooters to avoid unnecessary celebrations prior to shooting matches.

There is an unsubstantiated rumor that a long time retiree from Clarkstown PD paid off the waitress to be sure she used the hammer on the right guy.

Gentlemen;

I have come to realize I will not be getting back into PPC anytime soon (work assignments and children being the prime culprits). Because of that I will be selling my 1500 (softball) and possibly my 6" Distinguished revolvers along with their respective equipment.

The information on them is below and I can provide photos if someone is interested.. I don't mean to impose upon you and turn you into sales agents. I am simply asking that you pass my contact information onto anyone you hear may be interested in such firearms. But I can provide you with a bonus if you find a suitable buyer.

1500 PPC Revolver

Keefer Custom (Master Gunsmith Jerry Keefer)

Smith & Wesson K Frame (.38 sp)

This revolver shoots .38 spec. rounds, but has a 9mm barrel which mandates light loads without jackets (but shoots very tight groups).

Hey Everyone;

I am not sure how correct the below message is.

But I have attached the TSA website so you can check it out for yourself.

Pete

From the TSA website: The container must be locked. A locked container is defined as one that completely secures the firearm from access by anyone other than you. Fortunately they had non-TSA locks available for purchase at the counter

Here's the link. It's the fourth bullet down:

AFSA-IRS Members:

I am forwarding the information below from the SAIC of the Federal Air
Marshal Service Liaison Division for your information.

Greg Szczeszek
Executive Director
AFSA-IRS

I am a AFAUSSS member and the SAIC of the Federal Air Marshal Service
Liaison Division.

This message is being distributed to avoid confusion regarding the Law
Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) of 2004 (also known as H.R.
218 and Public Law No. 108-277) and the authority to possess a weapon
aboard commercial aircraft.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has reported recent
occurrences of retired Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) attempting to
transit airport security checkpoints while in possession of a firearm.
Based on conversations with these retired LEOs, the majority of these
instances were caused by their belief that LEOSA entitled retired law
enforcement officers to carry a firearm while traveling by commercial
aircraft.

The federal regulation which governs carriage of accessible weapons is
49
C.F.R. §1544.219, (Carriage of accessible weapons) and includes no
provision for retired law enforcement personnel. LEOSA amends the
Gun Control Act to exempt qualified active and retired law enforcement
officers from State and local laws prohibiting the carriage of
concealed firearms. While 18 USC§ 44.926(b) gives qualified
individual’s greater latitude when carrying a concealed firearm, it
does not permit those otherwise eligible to carry a firearm in the
passenger cabin of a commercial aircraft.

If you think it is helpful, please disseminate this information to our
colleagues to assist them in avoiding incidents at TSA airport
security check points that may result in unnecessary delays or
possible criminal/civil action.

If you have any questions, please call me at 703-487-3331.
