Matthew Temkin
Hello From NYC

7677 told me about this place.
I have been involved with unarmed and armed WW2 combatives since the age of 9, when I discovered that my dad had been a Ranger and hand to hand combat instructor during WW2.
I spent 20 years as a NYC Court Officer and have been working as a court clerk since 1999.
I have many interests, but armed and unarmed self defense rate right up there.
Looking forward to interacting with some like minded folks here.

Welcome Matthew, I'm a former City dweller myself. I shared quite a few cups of coffee and conversations with Court Officers. Are you able to carry on your retired tin?

Actually court clerk is a promotion from court officer, and since I am still a peace officer I still carry on my shield.
I never did go to the Glock and my carry gun is a S&W 642.
Which part of the Big Apple did you call home?
