Beef?
6 July 18 “Where’s the Beef?” For one, I have scant tolerance for meaningless phrases and terms, spewing endlessly from the mouths of shallow, self-centered media talking-heads! Recently, we’ve seen and heard yet another typically glib headline, in the wake of high-profile, violent incidents: “Security to be ‘beefed-up’ at _________” “Beefed-up?” What does that mean? […]
Other People’ Business!
5 July 18 Getting involved in other peoples’ business! Last Friday, officers with the Portland (OR) State University Police confronted a man on campus, who had a gun in his hand. The man appeared to represent a threat. Officers shot the suspect. Suspect was DRT. No other injuries. Details such as numbers of shot fired, […]
4th
3 July 18 “When you’re thinking about going to a place where you might need a gun, or a gas-mask, don’t go there!” Cole Independence Day, 2018 To their credit, our FBI in Cleveland, OH has just taken down a home-grown, fanatic, Islamic jihadi (a “recent convert”). He is also a seasoned jail-bird and six-time […]
Guns for me, but not for thee!
2 July 18 “Every law, rule, regulation, ‘guideline,’ and directive from government is backed by a conspicuous threat of physical punishment. None are ‘voluntarily.’ No exceptions! That’s the way all governments work.” From a high-level friend in government Liberal politicians and commentators are currently inflamed, angry at the perpetrator of last week’s newspaper-office shooting in […]
Future Generations!
1 July 18 “Learn from the mistakes of others. When you insist on making them all yourself, you won’t live long enough. In fact, you won’t live long at all!” Soldier’s Proverb Our Army, rather than ramping-up small-arms training for all soldiers, is purchasing thousands of ostensibly non-lethal “rifles” that fire pepper-filled balls. These are […]
Racism
26 June 18 Racism? For one, I object to illegal immigration, and I vehemently object to voter fraud. Intelligent people agree that “open borders” are an invitation to the death of our Republic. But, Democrats tell me that opinion makes me a “racist” I am concerned with the high level of violent crimes committed by […]
“Privacy?”
25 June 18 “Where there is secrecy, corruption is never far behind” Shipp “Privacy,” an obsolete concept! Last week, Supreme Court Chief Justice John G Roberts Jr, writing a majority opinion, said: “We decline to grant the state unrestricted access to a wireless carrier’s database of physical location information.” This represents a major (but mostly […]

Media Dishonesty
22 June 18 “Deceptive, glossy media images of faces, bodies, and social lifestyles, make us hate ourselves.” Bryant McGill Last Sunday in Tumwater, WA, a heroic armed citizen fatally shot a VCA who was attempting, via active gunfire, to carjack vehicles in a Walmart parking lot. His decisive intervention doubtless saved more than one innocent […]
Doer of Deeds!
20 June 18 “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win great triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt Ever-more sophisticated “facial-recognition technology” is currently […]

SIG 320 Saga
14 June 18 SIG/320 Pistol SIG’s 320 Pistol was selected by the Pentagon for general issue within the American Military at the beginning of 2017. The 320 (designated the M17) ends the thirty-two year reign of the Beretta 92F (M9) SIG narrowly edged-out Glock for this prestigious contract. However, the “military version” of the 320 […]

NY Misery!
8 June 18 “The ‘Few’ keep getting fewer!” More misery for the few NY residents who still own guns: NY’s Democrat governor, who (like most Democrats) wants to wholly eliminate the private ownership of guns, is now proposing a new measure designed to get him one step closer: Governor Cuomo announced that he wants to […]
Victim’s Agreement
5 June 18 CHATTERING CLASSES n derogatory members of the educated, metropolitan middle-class, esp those in academic, artistic, and media circles, considered as a social group freely given to articulate, self-assured expression of (esp liberal) opinions about society, culture, and current events.” Oxford English Dictionary Following is “The Agreement” anti-gun liberals insist all of us […]
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. Quips are also simultaneously posted here on the DTI Web Page. It is my way of continuously communicating with my students and Instructors. Our Distribution List has been disabled for […]
