    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    I'm not subject to OSHA rules. I wander around roofs up to 6/12 pitch with no harness. 7/12 pitch and up I have roof jacks, still no harness unless it's a two story house. I don't do much roofing since the aneurysm however. My balance hasn't seemed 100% ever since then, plus I tire easily.

    The pitch of that roof is 1-2/12 pitch.

    Osha has no oversight over the military or the secret service haha. Can you imagine? Secret service sniper needs to move 5 ft to the right on the sloped roof cuz he can't get a clear shot but that darn tie off haha. Let me just unhook here and hook back up to My new position and then I'll be ready haha.

    And in another new twist to this disaster:

    Government whistleblowers have informed U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) that former President Donald J. Trump‘s security detail at his July 13 rally, where a would-be assassin made an attempt on his life, was mostly comprised of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel and not United States Secret Service (U.S.icon). In the days following the attempted assassination, the USSS has attempted to blame local police for the lapse in security. “Whistleblower allegations suggest the majority of DHS officials were not, in fact, USSS agents but instead drawn from the department’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),” the Missouri Senator wrote in a letter Friday to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Sen. Hawley continued: “This is especially concerning given that HSI agents were unfamiliar with standard protocols typically used at these types of events, according to the allegations.”

    Yes I am familiar with working on roofs and I do maintain several flat roofs.

    If the safety of law enforcement officers that are being asked to go onto a roof is being considered then I believe that is a reasonable consideration. It is not just the risk of falling off a roof but also the risk of falling through a roof. It all depends on a number of different variables such as the type of roof material, how strong the roof is, how many people are on the roof , etc etc.

    Not getting on the roof is one thing. Keeping other people off the roof is another thing.

    The crazy grows: Fully one third of the members of a certain political party in America believe the attempted Trump assination was faked by Trump himself as reported on Fox news this morning.

    Regardless of any of that, it does not apply to the secret service. If it did, all the enemy or would be snipers would have to do would be study OSHA regulations to know what the secret service or military can and can't do haha. When it comes to protecting the life of a president or former president or soon to be president, all stops are pulled out and safety is only focused on the president, not the agents. If the military or secret service had to follow OSHA rules, they would not be able to get their job done. It would be ridiculous to see secret service or police or military snipers tied off to every high up position they obtain, it's just not practical. This cheatle lady not voluntarily resigning after being globally humiliated says a lot. She seems to think she did nothing wrong haha. Regardless, she could never be fully trusted again by any of her clients that she supposed to protect

    OSHA is only after those it can collect from. I understand safety for workers but they've gone overboard. Personal examples: When we worked in a Industrial facility we'd have to harness up and tie off when working above 4'. This may mean going 40' up to string a 'Approved' tie off point with multiple drop down hook ups. On a Commercial / New Home site it would be working above 6'. Any roof more than 6' off the ground without rails or a protected edge requires a proper tie off and workers wearing a safety harness. If a Inspector can insert 3 fingers between your leg loops you will be fined.

    About Kimberly Cheatle.......... Can you say DEI ??

    Did anyone ever hear any mention of the tree line being a factor?
