Ma’alot
19 Nov 14 Ma’alot Massacre, Israel, 15 May 1974 It’s been over forty years, but I well remember the massacre at Ma’alot, where over a hundred people, mostly high-school students, were held hostage for two days by Islamic terrorists. Only three terrorists were involved. The event demonstrates how much death and destruction can be accomplished […]
Israel Today!
12 Nov 14 News from Israel, from a friend who just returned from there: “Jerusalem is depressing. Garbage and debris everywhere. Definitely ‘third-world!’ By contrast, Tel Aviv is clean, modern, and vibrant. Lots of new construction. It is a growth area! Haifa is very clean, and upscale. Nice place to stay! I saw many Israelis, […]
“Friends” like these!
11 Nov 14 We don’t need enemies! From a friend in OK: “I spent yesterday at a large gun show, in fact touted as the ‘largest gun show in the free world.’ Much was made of organizers’ uncompromising ‘support of our 2nd Amendment.’ Yet, in advertisements, and on a conspicuous placard at the front door, […]
Evil!
6 Nov 14 “People who seemed cultured, restrained, law-abiding, and considerate of others have been converted into beasts, to the surprise of the civilized world, and, if the truth be known, to themselves… It needs only one kind of circumstance to bring this deeply-rooted malady in human nature to the surface. That circumstance is the […]
Midterms!
5 Nov 14 Midterm Elections: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but, when you want to test a man’s character, give him power” Abraham Lincoln This where modern Democrats fail so miserably, so consistently, so completely, and oh-so predictably! And that is why we can’t, and (as yesterday shows) don’t, trust them. I’m not sure […]
The Obvious!”
4 Nov 14 “War is the remedy our enemies have chosen. I say, let us give them all they want.” William Tecumseh Sherman Everything Except the Obvious!

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. Getting from cover to cover needs to be done as fast as possible. The enemy should never get more that a fleeting glimpse! Handgun? Separate […]

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? Somebody, nobody, and who! In this Age of Islamic Terrorism, we all need to do an adequate job of maintaining all-around security. The “Three Invisibles” mentioned […]

21 Oct 14 “Don’t wish me happiness. I don’t expect to be happy. Wish me courage, strength, and a sense of humor. I will need them all!” Anne Morrow Lindbergh Privately-owned guns in NY will now dry-up.

Bullet Performance

12 Oct 14 Traveling with the FSM4: We just completed an Urban Rifle Course here in TX. I’m traveling with, and using my copy of the FSM4. It continues to run and run, with nary a hiccup. Light, handy, lethal, and easy to travel with! As I mentioned, we are releasing a series of videos […]
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 […]
Steel Targets
6 Oct 14 Steel Targets! From a friend on the East Coast: “Yesterday, I was struck in the chest by a large bullet fragment. I was at a popular outdoor range. A shooter several meters to my right was shooting a 45 ACP pistol at a steel disk ten meters downrange. This was quite different […]

3 Oct 14 Advice from a friend on active duty: “Here we go!

They’re Here!
26 Sept 14 “It is madness for sheep to talk ‘peace’ with a wolf.” Thomas Fuller I hate being prophetic!
