Let me suggest that a War Stories folder under General Self Defense might be a good idea, all by itself. Leave it open to anyone with a story of really using martial arts in self defense.... Otherwise, it can quickly become a long thread of increasingl implausible tales...

That is the best idea yet! Not being in law enforcement or security, I have nothing to contribute, other than listening to stories, which is always fun.

We all know the difference between a story and a war story don't we?
A story starts "Once upon a time..." a war story starts "No ****..."

Over here war stories start with "Pull up a sandbag...."

cool. I say 3 sections

section 1) LEO's
section 2) Security/Bouncers
section 3) War stories

I say keep the section of war stories in this group only because I believe it will keep things in check (not that mod's cant, but since it is in the same group as a section for LEO's...) Plus keeping it stories specific about LEO's/bouncers and their experiences will be better because of what happened with the thread about my story. Cant it put MT in some sort of legal issue, if some incedent goes to court or something? maybe Im wrong...

who else votes 3?

We restrict it a bit by not allowing stories that are pending court-time. Resolved situations are probably fine.

Awesome idea! There are enough sincere people in this internet community and there are enough actual LEO's and Bouncers in this community that it wouldn't turn out the way that American Ninjutsu forum turned out :p. I think that it would be a great resource to allow LEO/Bouncers to exchange notes and assist each other in such a dangerous career feild, and that could only be a good thing.
