There has been a lot of emotional debates and some very unusual mis-information being bandied about lately regarding whether or not Victoria Police should convert to semi-automatic pistols.   This article is not going to attempt to justify whether or not Victoria Police should make the change, as the fact of the matter is that Victoria Police WILL convert to Pistols. Hopefully the change will not be delayed any longer than it has to be to affect an appropriate training curriculum, and the selection of the appropriate pistol.   In this article, my comparison of the pistol will mainly focus on the Glock, as it is currently the sidearm used by police in AFP, NSW, NT, QLD, TAS, WA, Australian Customs...

India is a large country - often referred to as a sub continent. It is the dominant power in SE Asia and has a standing armed force of over 1.2 million. But the early years after independence saw the political leadership led by Nehru give very little importance to the armed forces which continued with obsolete weapons like the first war vintage .303 rifle (bolt action) and an assorted range of revolvers imported from the UK and some other countries. As a corollary the small arms industry also suffered and no weapons were manufactured in India. The 1962 debacle of the Indian army at the hand of the Chinese changed all that and the Indian leadership steeped in non violence and utopian Gandhian thought...

erm "toxic mold" is not accurate. While certain molds are toxigenic, meaning they can produce toxins (specifically mycotoxins), the molds themselves are not toxic, or poisonous. Hazards presented by molds that may produce mycotoxins should be considered the same as other common molds which can grow in your house. There is always a little mold everywhere - in the air and on many surfaces. There are very few reports that toxigenic molds found inside homes can cause unique or rare health conditions such as pulmonary hemorrhage or memory loss. These case reports are rare, and a causal link between the presence of the toxigenic mold and these conditions has not been proven. A common-sense approach should...
