Running!
3 Nov 14 Running with Guns! A deployed weapon should not slow us down! Holding a pistol with both hands while running is like running with your hands tied together.

The “Three Invisibles!”
28 Oct 14 Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? A Latin phrase, traditionally attributed to the Roman poet Juvenal, from his “Satires.” It loosely translates to: “Who will guard the guards?

Bullet Performance

Plague?
8 Oct 14 The new “Plague?” “Safety of the people shall be the highest law.” Cicero Not any more! Like the IRS, EPA, and other federal agencies, the CDC has been completely politicized and recruited (all too willingly!) to spend its time promoting leftist causes and never report anything that makes BHO look bad. Under […]

The Argument!
24 Sept 14 The Argument: Today, ISIS, once more, announced that all its followers and wannabes are solemnly called upon to randomly murder Americans, any way it can be done, and anywhere we may be found. It is difficult indeed for anyone to misunderstand, nor mischaracterize, their message. For one, I take them at their […]

19 Sept 14 More comments from friends currently on active duty: “Everyone in uniform, on or off-base, is at risk of being attacked and murdered by ISIS jihadists who are within CONUS, right now!
