Hunting!

29 Oct 15 Fall Hunting: Yesterday, at Shawnee Ridge in OH, Vicki and I both brought down magnificent animals. Vickiā€™s was a Spanish Goat. Mine was a Red Stag. Others in our party got two big pigs! Vickiā€™s shot was with her Aimpoint-equipped Robar Polymer AR (223), using Cor-Bon 53gr DPX. It was uphill at […]

Unarmed?

27 Oct 15 The worldā€™s unarmed face a desperate future! My Greek friends equate gun bans (the kind currently proposed by the BHO Administration, and that are already in effect in Chicago and NYC) to a personal death sentence. For their fathers and grandfathers, it was! Fighting Moslem Ottomans, Italian fascists, German Nazis and then […]

Slips Out!

22 Oct 15 It slips out: As HRC flounders on the witness-stand today, despite withering help from her Democrat apologists, who dutifully fall in line and insist that she can do no wrong, her scantily-reported speech last Friday on the subject of private ownership of guns by American citizens has gone largely unreported. Not surprising! […]

Women, and Whisky, and War!

21 Oct 15 The following is from an old comrade in the UK, a bloody veteran of the Border Wars in Africa, from the 1960s through 1990. He was wounded multiple times (more than I was in Vietnam), but courageously stood his ground and stood-up for his men. He is a genuine hero, albeit a […]

Most Dangerous!

20 Oct 15 Most dangerous activity associated with pistol training: There are dangers inherent with having guns around. There are also dangers inherent with not having guns around. None of us get a risk-free life, and, in the end, the bacteria win. Not in dispute! However, in studying gun-training/range accidents, there is little doubt that […]

Jerusalem Solution!

15 Oct 15 … while Rome burns! Jerusalem Mayor, Nir Barkat, has advised all Israeli citizens to start carrying guns for personal protection from knife-wielding Palestinian ā€œyouthsā€ who are attacking Jewish residents, apparently at random. Wanton attacks are carried out against all Jews, regardless of gender, or age. Universal concealed carry is the only effective […]

More on Pistol Matches

14 Oct 15 Fighting Pistols: With regard to my last Quip, the three carry-pistols that functioned normally through the thirty-round event I described were: S&W 340PD Revolver (5-shot snubby) G43 (9mm) S&W Shield in 9mm The seven ā€œcarryā€ pistols that did not do well were all small 380 autoloaders, mostly off-shore manufacturers. Most had never […]

Readiness!

13 Oct 15 Personal Readiness: From a friend and colleague ā€œAt our monthly pistol match last weekend, our courageous (and now unpopular) match director included an optional thirty-round course of fire, exclusively for legitimate concealed-carry pistols. The only requirement was that the gun, and ammunition, used had to be one that the participant carries regularly. […]

Training in WV

12 Oct 15 Pyrotechnics! We ran a Live-Fire Scenario Class in WV last weekend, using a building mock-up, cars, and pyrotechnics. Targets, and non-targets, were dressed, foam mannequins with faces. Bombs and smoke everywhere! We tested studentsā€™ heart-rate before and after each scenario. As expected, students responded excitedly, even to our artificial/manufactured stress! We were […]

Real Democrats!

12 Oct 15 Last Friday, Democrat presidential candidate, and front-runner in several state races, Bernie Sanders, who cynically describes himself as ā€œpro-hunting,ā€ called for a federal ban on all ā€œsemi-automaticā€ firearms. Of course, like all liberals/Socialists, he never gets specific. His proposed ā€œbanā€ would limit all us unwashed to bolt-guns, lever-guns, and revolvers! Does his […]

Tavor!

6 Oct 15 IMI Tavor Rifle: Last weekend on the East Coast, we did and Urban Rifle Course. We have several ARs, one Kalashnikov, and one Tavor. This is the latest of a dozen Tavors weā€™ve had in Class, and all, including this one, have run well. Out of five-hundred rounds fired, there was only […]

Real News!

2 Oct 15 The Real News: While BHO pseudo-sanctimoniously squeals, and lies, about ā€œgun violence,ā€ his true goal is to end all private gun ownership in America by us plebeians, the unwashed masses, as defined by his gang of liberal ā€˜know-betters.ā€ Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Israelā€™s arsenal of nuclear-tipped Jericho III […]
