There is, ahem, a bit of controversy about our present President and the legitimacy of his claim for American citizenship. Apparently all he has had to do is show a ‘short form’ certificate of life birth, unsigned by any attending doctors or hospital officials, and that is all. Some people think that it should be […]
5.7x28mm Ammo Review
I was doing some training recently with people who’ve ‘been there and done that’ and invariably the subject of the ‘best’ pistol round came up. Usually these endless discussions revolve around .45 ACP vs .40 S&W with various other calibers added to confuse the discussion still further, but this time one of our group said […]
How Much Ammo Do You Carry?
Here’s a question for all of us who choose to carry a concealed weapon : How many rounds do you have with you, both in the pistol and in spare magazines? Many people carry a small (and therefore convenient, lightweight and easily concealed) pistol that might have perhaps a six round magazine, and if they […]
The Danger of Selling Stuff
Jim and Charlene Sanders, a couple in their mid 40s, advertised a diamond ring for sale. Nothing too unique about that. Among other people who called to express interest in the ring were Kiyoshi Higashi and Amanda Knight, who arranged to visit and view the ring. Still a perfectly normal event. But, upon being admitted […]
Easter Eggs? Or Spring Spheres?
Why is it that liberals attempt to expunge all reference to Christianity from Christmas, while simultaneously welcoming and respectfully honoring all sorts of other festivals that are new to this country, such as Ramadan, Diwali and the made up nonsense known as Kwanza? Not content with changing Christmas to ‘the holiday season’, they are now […]
The Simple Problem with our Economy
I’m having a tough time at present. Like many of us, particularly self employed, I’m not making as much money as I used to. So, guess what – I’m cutting back on my expenditures. More meals at home; and cheaper meals when I still eat out. I don’t buy as many movies as I used […]
Situational Awareness Can Save You
Here’s an interesting story of how a woman fell victim to a rape. Surprisingly, I’m not citing this to you as an example of something that could have been prevented if the woman was armed; indeed it is unlikely that she could have done anything to save herself if she was armed. Being as how […]
The Enemy of My Friend is My ????
There’s a huge amount to dislike about the actions we are taking in Libya at present. It is so extraordinarily inconsistent – why are we ignoring all the other nasty dictators around the world, and all the other popular uprisings, and instead deciding to take on Gaddafi in Libya? You might say, cynically, that it […]
It is Official – the Police are getting Stupider (per Justice Dept mandate)
Your city’s finest? Apparently not quite so fine these days, at least not if the Justice Department has its way. The Department of Justice – increasingly a source of political correctness, and sadly less frequently a source of justice – has decided that the solution to ‘too few’ black people being in certain police departments […]
