Probably going to be the G19 Gen4. I may talk myself into a G23.

Pro tip: Buy a small gun that normally has 10-round capacity. That way you don't feel like you have a neutered magazine.

I was on that night, in Frazer Park of all things. All of our transports ended up at Henry Mayo due to the mudslides.http://abc7.com/travel/nb-5-freeway-closed-at-parker-road-in-castaic-due-to-mud/1121425/
Good thing I'm not trying to get to a shift at a certain orange and blue ambulance company on the other side of that pass tonight

Progress! Drove out to the private ambo company on the other side of LA, and actually got to speak with the hiring manager. He liked my app and resume. He liked my Army service, clean driver record and that I had all my certs on hand (including NIMS), and I am scheduled for the EMT written test and mapping test next week
Pay is comparable to the other company that I was in the process with till the sudden silent treatment, this place does a lot more 911 to IFT, more 911 EOAs and by all acounts much better relations between the field crews and fire. Biggest downside is the ~hour long drive through LA traffic vs ~15-20min for the other place though.

I don't want a subcompact gun as of right now (maybe in the future if I decide to jump thru the hoops of getting a CCW).

Jeez... ask one question and the entire shift thinks you're an alcoholic. Is it bad that I want to have a local bar open at 0730?

OK so... I'm also tempted to apply at Care. Their next interview group is the 21st, day before my McCormick test. As long as McCormick doesn't shut me down like Schaefer did, I feel confident that I'll be hired on in a few weeks, same for Care. I think Care pays slightly more, but within only a dollar or less, so no huge difference there, especially with the minimum wage raises coming in next year. Care is about half the drive, but as much as I despise the extra traffic, the fact that at Care I'd be on an IFT car for at least 3-6 months, vs McCormick where everyone is a primary 911 unit with the occasional IFT on the side leads me to say McCormick > Care.
I don't necessarily wanna put all my eggs in one basket, but I also don't want to fill out an app if I have no real desire to choose them over the competition so to speak.

Sweet sweet poetic justice graced my presence again. Some dude was tailgating me (I was doing 80 in a 70) so once I finished passing cars I moved from the #1 to the #2 lane. He goes flying past me and I look up ahead and there it is, the CHP ford explorer running radar. I passed him as he was pulling out onto the 10, he hauled *** and pulled the tailgating jackass over!
Oh and the icing on the cake, as I passed the tailgater he glanced over to me while I had this sh*t eating grin on my face waving at him.

Wasn't me, but I know Desertmedic carries a blowup doll similar to the one in the picture around with him.
