Day After!
9 Nov 16 Election Follow-up: Several Hollywood “celebrities,” including Woopy Goldberg and Cher, have pseudo-sanctimoniously declared they’ll “leave the Country” when Trump wins. Big talk! They’ll stick around, of course. But, to those who really mean it, my comment is: “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!” Their liberal/leftist […]
Our Eight-Year National Nightmare, now over!
9 Nov 16 Atlas, at Long Last, Shrugs! Our eight-year national nightmare is over! The Clintons, and their gaggle of lackeys, including BHO, will now mercifully fade away. There are still enough good and decent people in this country to overcome votes from willfully unproductive, non-contributing parasites, unlawful votes by illegal aliens and other criminals, […]
Public Lawlessness!
7 Nov 16 “Empires are forged by people believing in a common identity that serves to unite and endow them a sense of cultural superiority. Lose that, and death-bells begin to toll!” Francis Nwaolisa Ogomegbunam, Am I the only one who thinks it “odd” that an entire political party, Democrats, are promoting lawlessness, specifically voter […]
Ammunition!
3 Nov 16 Ammunition situation: This is from a friend in the commercial, high-performance ammunition manufacturing business: “The ammunition buying frenzy, that started over the summer, has completely overwhelmed our production capacity. We’re making product as fast as we can, but we can’t begin to keep up with demand! All ammunition manufacturers are in the […]
“Undeclared” War!
2 Nov 16 On Your Own! An all-out, nationwide war on our police officers continues, as Democrat politicians grovel before BLM, and other strident anti-LE groups. Recent examples: NYC … 2 Officers ambushed and murdered. Dallas … 5 Officers ambushed and murdered. Baton Rouge … 3 Officers ambushed and murdered. Des Moines … 2 Officers […]
The Stench!
1 Nov 16 The Stench! The rotten smell emanating from both of the Clintons for decades has now reached such a degree that it is closing-off noses of even our liberal press, and that is saying something, since the liberal press is so accustomed to robot-like covering-up/apologizing for them! Sleazy, seedy, amoral, egomaniacal, dishonorable, hateful, […]
Hunting!
27 Oct 16 Hunting in OH! Yesterday, Vicki and I were in the middle of our annual hunting adventure at Shawnee Ridge in OH (http://shawneehunting.com/) Using her Robar Polymar AR (“VF” model), equipped with an Aimpoint T1, and 53gr Cor-Bon DPX ammunition (5.56×45), Vicki brought down a mature Painted Desert Sheep with a single shot! […]
Failure, by Choice!
21 Oct 16 “In a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom!” Terry Pratchett This from a student and colleague, who works with a state agency: “Assisted at our state police academy for the past few days. It was like entering a time machine! Techniques are all thirty years out-of-date. Never […]
“Tinkering” with Lives!
20 Oct 16 NY State: Throughout NYS, a new requirement under the infamous NYSAFE Act (passed by Democrats in the middle of the night), is that all current state pistol permit holders must now laboriously re-register all handguns, this time directly with the State Police. Keep in mind that every one of these handguns is […]
More on Rifles
19 Oct 16 Follow-up on Rifle and Gear, from a Friend and Colleague: “Fifteen years ago, when we had ten AR’s in a Class, at least half would be dead-lined by the middle of the first day! No longer the case! Modern ARs, from any quality manufacturer (STS, BCM, LaRue, Doublestar, DSA, S&W, Anderson, Warrior […]
Rifle Errors!
18 Oct 16 “It’s not occasional ‘great shots’ that save you. It’s persistent ‘little mistakes’ that kill you!” H Green Rifle-Handling Errors: At our Urban Rifle (Carbine) Courses, most students bring ARs, as you might imagine, but we see dozens of other types/brands, some of which I was heretofore only marginally aware, so many are […]
Ready, or Not?
12 Oct 16 This account of the recent, famous, and failed jewelry-story robbery in TX, from a friend close to the source: “Four armed VCAs decided to rob a local jewelry store in a neighboring jurisdiction, in daylight. Two owners, who were in the store at the time, spotted the robbery suspects as they exited […]
VP9 Comments
11 Oct 16 H&K VP9 “flake” magazine-release alternate technique, from a friend and student: “I love H&K’s VP9’s magazine release system! The problem I’ve always had with Glocks (and some others) is that my strong-side thumb is too short to adequately depress the magazine release button on the left side of the frame, without significantly […]
Endless Riots!
10 Oct 16 Rioting, without end! Being “anti-police” is now “politically correct!” BHO, HRC and their BLM “movement” have created the nationwide anti-LE environment that recently caused a Chicago PD officer to decline to defend herself from a crazed, murderous attacker, with nearly fatal results. She was beaten to within an inch of her life. […]
Magazine-Release “Lever”
7 Oct 16 “Flake” Magazine-Release Lever: We’ve see a number of H&K’s Glock-like VP9 Pistols in Defensive Pistol Classes recently. All have run well, and the pistol’s ergonomics are pleasing. It represents a very acceptable carry-gun. However, one “feature” of the VP9 can be an issue, and that it the pistol’s ambidextrous magazine-release “lever.” Most […]
“Need?”
6 Oct 16 Who Really “Needs” Guns? With many of my friends and colleagues down in South FL currently dealing with Hurricane Matthew, some have reminded me: What the media is not reporting is the numerous criminal gangs who are staying behind with the intent of looting abandoned homes in the wake of the current […]
“Rental” Guns?
3 Oct 16 “For fear I have my gun to mend I am determined not to lend But you may do as I have done Pay down your cash and get a gun” Inscription from “The Litany Rifle” Maker Unknown, 1790 It is common for perspective students of our Art to inquire during the Course […]
What Matters?
28 Sept 16 Black lives may matter, but facts apparently don’t! A black police officer, working for a black police chief, shoots a black male who was pointing a gun at him, a person whom police weren’t even looking for. And, we have a black president! Police were planning to walk past the decedent’s car […]
FNS
27 Sept 16 FNS I’ve been carrying an FNS-9 for several months now. Its basically FN’s version of the G19. 2k rounds through my copy by this time. Made in the USA, my FNS-9 has run with almost no hiccups. The only modification I made was to grind-off the magazine-release button on the right side. […]
Doublespeak?
21 Sept 16 When violent people are running amok, destroying police vehicles, injuring police officers and others, setting fires, looting stores, etc, the correct description is: “Mob,” “Mobsters,” “Riot,” and “Rioters” Yet, in all the media reports from NC I’ve heard today, including Fox News, violent rioters are described as: “Demonstrators,” and “Protestors!” Mob violence […]
