27 Dec 23   Christmas Eve Shooting!   One of my long-time students was involved in a fatal shooting on 24 Dec 23.   As you might expect, I can only talk about this incident in general terms.   It took place in a metro area.   My student was precipitously assaulted simultaneously by several […]

26 Dec 23   “It’s always good to have lifeguards nearby, but it’s better to learn how to swim!”   Sam Rosenberg   JRB’s Administration is, even today, still refusing to sell 27k US-manufactured M4s to Israel, for emergency defense.   There are those within the JRB Administration who express concern that some of these […]

21 Dec 23   “Serious” rifles:   Manufacturers of serious rifles in 5.56×45 (223 Rem) caliber, who are counting on significant non-military sales, know and understand that their rifle needs to accept, and run with, standard, STANAG (M4) magazines.   An otherwise wonderful rifle, but one that only functions with proprietary magazines, will not sell […]

18 Dec 23   “Victory goes to the player who makes the next-to-the-last mistake.”   Soldier’s Axiom   Yesterday somewhere in Israel, an Israeli soldier, in his IDF uniform, was at the well-lighted check-out counter of a convenience store.   This soldier was carrying a rifle (M4), slung over his back, muzzle-down. Hard to tell […]

15 Dec 23   “‘All the world’s a stage,’ and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.”   Seán O’Casey   Uncharted territory!   The JRB administration is, with a signature sneer, contemptuously ignoring court rulings, as are blue-state legislatures and governors, along with Democrat Mayors.   Federal LE continues to employ extra-Constitutional powers to harass/terrorize […]

14 Dec 23   “This is extremely serious”   Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, yesterday   Denmark’s “terror threat-level” is currently set to “serious,” just one step below the highest level.   The foregoing in response to yesterday’s arrests of members of a Hamas terrorist-cell operating within Denmark, who are plotting the mass-murder of Jews […]

10 Dec 23   This from a friend in Western Europe:   “As soon as an Islamic terrorist commits an act of violence over here, all while yelling ‘Allahu Akbar,’ he is instantly (re)defined as ‘mentally ill,’ and our media assures us that this person ‘does not represent the majority of Islamics.’   When the […]

7 Dec 23   At the Macy’s Store in Philadelphia, PA today, a shoplifting suspect was confronted by two unarmed store guards.   He responded by precipitously stabbing both! One store guard died as a result. The other is in critical condition.   The suspect, who has a long history of violent criminality and who […]

4 Dec 23   Between the Lines!   Yesterday, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, a murderous radical Islamic attacked (apparently randomly) a German tourist and several others.   The tourist died as a result. Others seriously injured.   Yelling, “Allahu Akbar,” this terrorist used a knife and hammer as murder […]

30 Nov 23   In this War, know and understand that “The Battlefield” is everywhere, any time!   Today, three innocent Israeli citizens were murdered (others wounded) via gunfire (M4) yesterday at a Jerusalem bus stop.   Murderers were two Hamas terrorists shooting from a moving vehicle.   Both terrorists were subsequently gunned-down at the […]

29 Nov 23   “‘Foolishness’ is more than just being stupid. It is that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance”   Paul D Tripp   Left-Over Foolishness!   Israeli ambulance drivers, courageously doing their best to save the injured on 7 Oct 23, are shown in a recently-released video deploying in an active combat zone […]

20 Nov 23   News from NYS:   The newly-implemented NYS “Ammunition Background Check System” is (to no one’s surprise) an abomination of bureaucratic ineptitude, that was purpose-built to harass and inconvenience innocent NYS gun-owners, and accomplish nothing else.   In order to buy ammunition for any kind of gun, NYS residents now have to […]

17 Nov 23   How “accurate?” What distance?   When I was graduating from Marine OCS in Quantico, VA in 1968, nearly all our small-arms training was with the 1911 Pistol, M14 Rifle, and M60GPMG. Eugene Stoner’s AR was just coming into the System, and we were only able to shoot a few rounds through […]

14 Nov 23   A NYC subway-rider recently witnessed a violent mugging of a woman on a NYC subway platform near Times Square.   A woman was physically, violently attacked by a mugging suspect trying to get her handbag, a common occurrence in NYC, particularly on the subway system.   Another passenger (not otherwise involved), […]

8 Nov 23   Hog Hunting in FL   Today, it was my honor and privilege to go hog hunting as a guest of the Hall Family at Florida Hunting, Fishing, and Outdoor Adventures at the Oak Island Ranch in Okeechobee, FL   Their Web Page is at floridahuntingadventures.com   I went out this morning […]

7 Nov 23   “‘Intuition’ is knowing something is wrong, but not knowing why”   Gavin DeBecker   We’re going to have to increasingly rely on intuition and “reading between the lines” in order to get a realistic idea of what is really going-on within CONUS, and in the Middle East.   Deliberate misinformation comes […]

1 Nov 23   “The idea that you’re supposed to have ‘special qualifications’ in order to talk about things that are common sense, is just another scam!   It’s another way to marginalize people”   Noam Chomsky   Who is included within “Inclusion?”   Curious that “Diversity” and “Inclusion,” the consecrated “Holy Grail” of leftists, […]

30 Oct 23   “Overly-confident conjecture, ‘backed-up’ by fictional data”   Paul Harrell   Tactical Exorcism!   I routinely hear from beginning students any number of fairy tails that circulate among those who are new to our Art.   Some professing instructors, who are in the process of trying to manufacture an “instant reputation,” put-out […]

26 Oct 23   “It all looks great in the showroom!”   Salesman’s expression   Test your gear!   It is not uncommon, during our Urban Rifle Courses, for students (including LEOs) to bring M4s, XCRs, CETMEs, PTR 91s, VHS2s, M1As, M1 Carbines, et al (upon which they have been naively relying for personal protection) […]
