Toilets!
27 Nov 20 Shooting Toilets! When searching for a (relatively) “safe” direction in which to point your carry pistol(s) when you’re not on a shooting range that features a designated backstop, one needs to be careful! Often, we must handle our guns (that are with us constantly) when we’re not on a range. For one, […]
The Fate of Dissenters living in a Leftist Regime!
20 Nov 20 “We were devotedly supporting the (Communist) Program, and we knew our punches were landing where they should But, we never foresaw those hits coming to us!” That brutally stark observation from a (former) ardent socialist in Venezuela. Some of Maduro’s fellow professing Marxists are apparently not ardent enough in their unconditional worship of this Communist “popular […]
Terror in the Land!
17 Nov 20 “The land was torn apart in a legal dispute. Soon, it was so devastated nothing could live here- not plant nor animal. Only lawyers. But, eventually the place fell into lawlessness, and lawyers can’t exist in an area of lawlessness, so they went feral. Some say they still roam the land! You’ll suddenly hear someone yell, ‘Objection!’ and […]
9mm
9mm, 117 years ago! Today’s popular 9×19 (9mm Luger, or 9mm Parabellum) cartridge was created by Georg Luger himself in 1902 in an effort to please American Ordinance Officers who were, in the early years of the 20th Century, testing autoloading pistols to replace revolvers.

Austria
7 Nov 20 Austria this time: Last Monday, an AA-shouting Islamic terrorist, using a Kalashnikov Rifle and a pistol (brand not identified), randomly gunned-down at least two dozen innocent pedestrians near Vienna’s Central Synagogue in the city’s center. At least four died at the scene. Toll will likely go higher. The murderer was shot to death by local police, […]
Walking Fire
4 Nov 20 “Obsolescence is the key to innovation” Homaro Cantu Walking Fire: During WWI, “walking fire” was the main role of the “automatic rifle.” Walking fire was designed to provide fire superiority for “the last 200m” when closing an infantry assault on a defended objective. Automatic rifles were designed and intended to be carried and used by one person. SMGs […]
Vanity and Arrogance!
31 Oct 20 Election-Day Hypocrisy: Rich, elite Democrats in NYC who, along with Biden and Harris, seek to rip legally-owned guns from the hands of honest American gun owners, are themselves suddenly oh-so eager to be “protected” on election day from evil rioters (whom they otherwise love and encourage, so long as they are destroying other peoples’ […]
Appeasers!
28 Oct 20 “What decent philosopher was ever an appeaser? The former is a rare catch among the multitudes of modern opinionists. His role is to be one who loves truth. That is a place where his love for humanity is more powerful than his love for a lot of hot air about ‘empowering humanity’” Criss Jami Life in France: For […]
Happy St Crispin’s Day!
25 Oct 20 St Crispin’s Day! Two early Christian brothers, Crispin and Crispinian, were martyred for their faith in Gaul (France) by the local Roman governor (Rictiovarus) somewhere around 286AD. At the time, Roman Emperor Diocletian in particular, well aware of Rome’s decline under his watch, was anxious to revive the Empire’s previous glory by restoring ecumenical veneration […]
Mob Violence!
21 Oct 20 “When politicians attempt to rationalize violence, the problem worsens.” John Conyers Democrats are reverting to their Marxist roots! Openly sanctioned (by Democrats) political violence is now a daily reality in America. ANTIFA and BLM gangs, empowered and enabled by Democrat/Marxist politicians and their ever-loyal media cheerleaders, are virtually unconstrained throughout the streets of America’s metro areas, […]
Day of Hunting!
20 Oct 20 Big Game Hunting in OH! Vicki and I went big-game hunting at Shawnee Ridge (OH) today. http://shawneehunting.com/ I stalked and finally got a broadside shot at a one-hundred-pound Red Iranian Ram. Range was 50m. He was mixed-in with a half-dozen other animals, all slowly moving among thick woods in the same direction. I was able to thread my […]
Mas and Marty Hit a Home run!
18 Oct 20 Mas Ayoob and Marty Hayes hit a home run! My friends, colleagues, and fellow ACLDN Board Members, Mas Ayoob and Marty Hayes, have produced an excellent video on the subject of strategies for effectively dealing with mob violence. You can see it at: https://youtu.be/tj7suPt9nHE This is a hot topic right now, and surely will continue to be […]
Buffoonery!
16 Oct 20 “How can a free citizen resist aggression without equal force? How can a truly ‘free state’ exist when citizens are enslaved to the forceful will of individual or organized criminals?” Tiffany Madison Sleepy Joe said yesterday in an “only-friendly-question-allowed” interview during a “Town Hall Meeting,” hosted by ABC (which is, of course, little more than a […]
No Joy in NYC!
14 Oct 20 “Re-imagining” Policing! “‘It was a mistake,’ you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.” David Levithan NYPD’s “Chief” has officially caved-in, on behalf of his entire Department (the formally world-renowned NYPD), to the latest, futile attempt to appease hectoring harpies of the left who are encouraged and […]
Page 47
12 Oct 20 Let’s all enjoy page 47 of the 2020 DNC Platform: “Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and extreme-risk-protection-order laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves […]
Huh?
9 Oct 20 A Democrat Minneapolis City Councilman addressing citizens concerns with skyrocketing violence there, yesterday: “There’s a real impatience to get a real process going around community engagement to really get to a vision of what public safety looks like that’s going to work for everybody, and I think it’s such critical work.” Councilman Steve Fletcher After patiently […]
Our Rights are not safe, so long as Democrats can “redefine them away!”
7 Oct 20 “Between the Restoration and the Glorious Revolution, the Stuart Kings (Charles II and James II) succeeded in using select militias loyal to them to suppress political dissidents, in part by disarming their opponents. Under the auspices of the 1671 ‘Game Act,’ for example, Catholic James II ordered general disarmament of homes of his […]
“A Rusty Rod”
6 Oct 20 Issues with serious rifles: At a recent DTI Urban Rifle course in TX, a student’s suppressor-equipped M4 started having trigger problems. The trigger would occasionally stick to the rear and refuse to reset. Nothing seemed amiss when we initially examined the trigger sump. However, in bright sunlight we could see “gunk” on the trigger and trigger […]
