Deception!
30 June 29 Deception, now “acceptable” Our Department of the Interior has decided not to release information regarding deaths and serious injuries occurring within our national parks.

The Drill!
23 June 26 “The Drill!” Competent Operators (armed or not): > Avoid times and places where violent events are probable, and where unstable/dangerous people are likely to be present (AKA: “stupid places”).

Dependence!
18 June 26 “When our smug ‘certainty’ outlasts our evidence” Last weekend, four widely-separated states (IA, AZ, TX, WA) reported mass 911-System failures.

The “Mostly Peaceful” Delusion
10 June 26 Getting worse! Previous BLM/ANTIFA (the “provisional wing” of the DNC) ”mostly-peaceful protests,” versus recent “teen takeovers” “Youths” arrested recently come from some distance, and are well armed! They harbor no fantasies about “social justice” Gone are the screaming, hysterical, college-educated, white, middle-class spoiled punks who were seen at BLM protests. These are […]
Equipment!
9 June 26 “It all looks great in the showroom” Equipment notes: Last weekend, during a DTI Defensive Urban Rifle/Shotgun Course at Terry Lord’s wonderful Deer Hollow Outdoor Range in Whitehouse, TN, my instructors and I took note of several equipment issues that we’ve all seen before, but upon which maybe I have failed to […]
Summer Activities!
2 June 26 “It is usually impossible to know when you’ve prevented a bad outcome” Mokokoma Mokhonoana Summer activities, and risk!
