Krebs PD-18 Pistol
6 June 18 Krebs PD-18 Pistol For discrete carry when traveling, in addition to discrete storage, SBRs (Short-Barreled Rifles) represent an excellent compromise for many, myself included. SBRs are lighter than their full-sized cousins, and the short barrel is handy for deployment and serious fighting within confined spaces, such as the interior of a typical […]
AIWB Carry
3 June 18 AIWB (Appendix, Inside the Waistband) Carry: A current, widely-circulated video purports to display a surveillance-camera scenario depicting a man who holsters a pistol (reported to be a G43) in an AIWB holster (reported to be manufactured by G-Code). Seconds later, the man bends-over in order to pick something up from the floor. […]
Class Warfare
3 June 18 “The last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be ‘keys to history,’ but are actually nothing more than desperate efforts to escape personal responsibility.” Hannah Arendt School shooters, probably all mass murderers, have been called the Western equivalent of “suicide bombers.” Leftists have predictably rushed to the defense […]
Quips Distribution List
3 June 18 Quip Distribution List: We are having difficulty with our Quip Distribution List! There are 5k email addresses to which Quips are sent.

Heads up!
29 May 18 “Let us not allow glitziness, superciliousness, and mumbo-jumbo to slither into our thinking and our actions.” Pevernagie Yesterday in Liege, Belgium, yet another knife-wielding, AA-shouting Islamic terrorist attacked two uniformed female police officers. After stabbing both, he took the service pistol from one and then shot both. Using the same pistol, he […]
Correction to Last Quip
27 May 18 This is a correction/update to my last Quip about the FS 308 Rifle. I mentioned the Vector 1×8 Strike Eagle Optic. I meant to say the VORTEX 1×8 Strike Eagle Optic. I also neglected to mention that the FS 308 (POF Revolution) also comes with a Law Tactical Folding Stock. It makes […]

Hero in OK!
25 May 18 “Why has the Democrat Party become so detached from ordinary Americans? Though they arrogantly claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of self-important snobs, top-heavy with journalists, academics, and lawyers.” Paglia Yesterday, a bold, competent and armed “ordinary” American citizen in OK fatally shot a […]
Will “Rules and Regulations” Save Us?
23 May 18 “America will collapse financially, chasing unceasing rules and regulations designed to save defenseless citizens from harm.” Bin Laden As a panicked and short-sighted nation, we’re hurriedly composing endless reams of new, confusing, and hopelessly inconvenient “rules” with regard to school security, most of it “theater” and little else Endless billions of taxpayer […]
Brits on the Brink!
17 May 18 From a friend currently visiting New Zealand: “There’s still a strong ‘Warrior Heritage’ here in New Zealand! Not only via ancient Maori traditions, but also more recent contributions during WWI battles, particularly the Gallipoli Invasion. Lots of war memorials and symbols here. I am told everyone on the Island during those years […]
Afraid of the Light!
15 May 18 Our less-than-honest, liberal media, and “Weasel Words” Hamas has never been shy about articulating its intentions, in plain English! Unlike North Koreans and Iranians, who insist they have only honorable intentions, but have just been “misunderstood,” Hamas has no compunction about plainly stating that they fully intend to murder every Israeli, and […]
Dtiquips Who Dare…
John, It also appeared that the way she moved cleared the area behind the suspect from all innocents. Not until he went down did she move to cover. It was evident that she had seen the elephant before. Mike On 5/14/2018 8:55 PM, John Farnam’s Quips mailing list wrote: > 14 May 18 > > […]
Who Dare…
14 May 18 “Who Dare, Win!” David Stirling, founder of the SAS. The motto has since been adopted by numerous high-speed military units. In a widely-circulated video (surveillance, apparently inadvertent) of a Mothers’ Day attempted armed robbery on a street somewhere in Brazil, occurring yesterday, we see a single, pistol-wielding, male suspect approach a group […]
Utopia?
9 May 18 Gun-free Utopia? From a friend in the UK: “Gunfire in London is no longer uncommon, even though guns are technically ‘illegal’ here! Knife attacks are also a plague, and ever associated with deadly gang warfare. Most gangs here are composed of immigrants, almost all illegal, and they’re constantly engaged in lethal territorial […]
Unintended Consequences
8 May 18 More “Unintended Consequences!” This from an attorney friend and colleague in WI: “I am in the process of reviewing title-work in order to insure the purchase of commercial property for one of our clients. I ran into this ‘exception clause.’ It is new! I’ve never seen it before: ‘Notice: Please be aware […]
More “Theater”
7 May 18 Security Theater: From a friend in MA: “I recently attended an indoor concert in Boston. Like you, I don’t like crowds, but I made an exception in this case. Music was canonical and conservative, and the admission price was hefty, so I calculated that attendees would be mostly middle-aged and well-behaved. Right […]
“Learned” Fools
6 May 18 “Unprepared, and apparently proud of it!” “When a coyote attacked a young girl recently on a childrens’ playground in snobby, affluent, gun-free Westchester County, located northwest of NYC, all adults present were of course, weaponless and otherwise unprepared, including an off-duty police officer who was NOT carrying concealed. The unarmed, off duty-officer […]
2018 NRA Show, Dallas, TX
5 May 18 2018 NRA Show, Dallas, TX, Second Day Today, I did see a single, scraggly protestor, carrying a sign depicting an poorly-drawn AR with a red line through. He was tottering back and forth. No one paid any attention to him! I saw a number of black men attending the Show and wearing […]
