One of two Florida burglary grand theft suspects with a long criminal history bragged that he would be out of jail shortly after his arrest before he realized he was taken into custody in a county where the law is enforced by a no-nonsense sheriff with a tough-on-crime platform.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said his deputies spotted a stolen Dodge Ram just after 1 a.m. Wednesday. The driver, identified as Tamari Lucas, 24, a Tampa resident, and a passenger eventually stopped the truck and fled on foot, authorities said.

Lucas was arrested but the passenger was not found, Judd said. Upon his arrest, Lucas allegedly told the deputies that he wouldn’t be in jail for long because he was arrested in Osceola County. He was then informed that he was in fact taken into custody in Polk County.

“Oh, my God! Not Grady Judd! Are you (expletive) serious? This really sucks because you guys don’t play around in Polk County,” he allegedly stated.

Imagine that! Chasing relentlessly after bad guys and putting them away makes criminals feel unsafe.

In its entirety:

A note on keeping the enemy at range.

You’ve secured your house from top to bottom.. burglar bars, reinforced doors, 4/6m high walls and cameras/alarm systems. 

You’re training with your friends on a weekly/monthly basis – going to the range, lifting weights and getting fitter. As a unit. 

Your entire neighborhood is mapped out on the wall of your garage.. you’ve labeled water sources, comms advantage points and choke zones.

The plate carrier, battle rattle and go-bag are all sitting by the front door – just waiting to be used when the time is right. 

You’ve bought @DolioJ’s Tactical Wisdom series books and studied them.. knowledge that you so desperately needed.

You also followed @6Voodoo and clicked the “notify” button to see when he posts a new thread on warfare. 

You kitted yourself with a radio and picked up @Brushbeater’s Guerrilla’s guide to the Baofeng radio and even learnt how to make your own bush antenna.

You then followed @s2_underground’s YouTube channel for more knowledge on tactical things in a world gone mad.

And slowly, over time – you started to understand that things are getting worse.. so you took a long look at @GarandThumb1’s YouTube channel for further content on tactical environments.

You bought the best gear and equipment from guys like @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl, @solatac and @spiritussystems. 

You trained with the best guys out there – @WL_TAC – @wayofftheres – where you were forced to drink water and shoot for defensive purposes. 

Knowing the time is soon, you also bought kit from @thewardoll and @nola_nobody – in matching colours. 

And you followed the guys over at the CFC – @DolioJ @MScottMcCulloug @WatcherontheWeb @TheVirginiaGen1 for their knowledge on extreme environments.

And because you wanted a bit moreedical knowledge, you jumped onto @therealpackard’s account to follow his Substack on the matter.

But.. you never took into consideration that your house borders your property wall – and so it got petrol bombed by the masses who couldn’t get in. 

You didn’t put up any early warning devices of any kind further out from your property – you centralised everything. In one place. And now you lost it all – to 1 fire bomb.

Keeping your enemy at range also means knowing where they are, how many they are and if they’re heading your way. A high wall means fuck all to a hungry guy with molotov cocktails. Plan.

Ps – give the dudes above a follow. ?

I go to the gym.

I’ve trained at SIG Academy and made a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Thunder Ranch.

I have some fun toys.

But I also have two kids and a job.

Training and preperation and physical fitness are great.

But…

This goon shit prepper Instagram bullshit is a lifestyle that is getting out of hand.

Doodfuses running around with $15,000 worth of NODs but don’t have a fucking Harbor Freight tow strap to unstuck themselves from a snow drift.

They wanted to LARP as CAG but actually LARPed as the Wermacht 6th Army and were turned into casualties by the fucking weather.

Let’s take a peek at the last two urban shit storms.

Kenosha during the George Floyd riots and the Summer of Love.

Kyle Rittenhouse went three for three stacking shitbags and misting biceps with no NODs. He didn’t even have BUIS on his big box retail AR.

Then there were the Israelis who successfully defended their Kibbutz during 10/7.

They weren’t kitted out. They were reservists with M-16s with irons and some mags duct taped together.

They returned fire.  That’s all it took.

The most realistic scenarios that you or I in the suburbs, living in single family hones, might have to deal with is a George Floyd type riot, a post Hurricane Katrina type looting, or a Great New York Blackout type riot and looting with the power out.

Even throwing in a 10/7 type pogrom against the Jews, Antifa and Hamas in the US are going not going to be as well armed and equipped as Hamas in Gaza.

Will stuff in America go to shit?

Absolutely.

But unless the Chinese nuke us, in which case all your prep work is fucked anyway, if the power goes out, it will be out for days or a week or two, not forever.

Trust me, I lived through Hurricane Andrew.

Selling doom and gloom is how these goons make their money.

I’m old enough to remember the internet forums and gun store Rambos who would sewar up and down that if you only carried a 38 Spl snub nose and a speed strip for self-defense, you would die in the streets.  To survive a gun fight, you needed a Glock 17 or 19, with a 19 or 21 round extended mag, and at least three reloads.

Now take those douchebags and give them sponsored and monetized Instagram and YouTube channels.

They have to sell you the idea that the the next social upheaval won’t be a few hours to a few days of chaos, like all the others, but will be the apocalyptic “big one.” And if you’re not trained and equipped out of your own pocket like a CAG operator, you are absolutely dead and just a loot drop.

Of course the guy sponsored by the company that sells NODs is going to tell you that you need to have NODs to survive the next big shit

They are selling you a lifestyle.

Training is good.  Do it.

Buy quality gear.

Don’t go overboard, bankrupting yourself, buying into a goon prepper lifestyle that is being sold to you by an Instagram and YouTube hydra that is sponsored and monetized by the people selling the gear that these people telling you that you will absolutely due if you don’t have.

All recipes for charges are given by weight. Normally, to 0.1 grains.

Each powder has a different density and a different required charge.

Powders come in different granule shapes. There are flakes. There are cylinders, formed by pushing wet powder through round holes, then cutting them into small cylinders. Finally, there are spherical granules.

The surface area of a granule is the biggest factor in how fast a given powder burns. The same composition, in different shapes, will burn at different rates.

For each lot of powder, the density for that powder should be the same, on average. For each can of powder, the density will be the same.

The volume required to for a charge is the density of the powder multiplied by the weight of the charge.

There are powders that take small charges, some take larger. For example, the Hodgdon recipe for 45ACp says that IMR Blue can be used with a starting charge of 9.0 grains. They also say that you can use Clays with a starting charge of 3.7grains.

There is only a 0.3grain difference between the starting charge and maximum charge when using Clays. This is not a lot of room for error.

There is a bit more range for IMR Blue. Regardless, the point of this is to let you know that we are measuring small values accurately and repeatably.

Before you ask, that is a B&T APC556 and I did not shoot it. I may in the future, but I can only say that looks pretty but mounts slightly weird.

I do want to mention the body armor: OPX Elite Concealable Body Armor IIIA+. I have worn body armor and plate carriers in the past and the feelings went from donning a strait jacket to suffer inside a half iron maiden. This one was amazingly comfortable even though your body knew you were wearing something other than the usual clothing.  The kicker is that it is a soft body armor that supposedly can withstand pistol calibers and up to a 12 gauge slug and a 300 Blk subsonic. Of course, I do not wish to give an AAR on this one or similar products, so I will just post this video.

I wore a medium IRRC and that is priced at almost $800. Pricey, but it is an investment on life after all.
I do need to get them winning Power Ball numbers. [sigh]

This post is a thing of beauty.

Here is the text:

Earlier this year a buddy and I went on a 3 day overland trip to the white mountains, but got stuck in snow day 1. Buried axle deep without any recovery gear (unprepared) And not enough cold weather gear. We ended up staying the night on that pile of snow as the snow had turned to ice as soon as the shade hit us. (Im not used to overlanding or camping in snow, usually just desert camping here in AZ) and yes we spent all day digging

Towards the end of day 2 of being stuck and digging all day, potentially getting ready to sleep on that snow again, we heard something… it was a 4 wheeler. Old Guy was turkey hunting.

He helped us dig for 4 hours…. He was on his hands and knees and he wouldn’t stop digging. Eventually his dad showed up who he radioed with some short straps. Him and his dad pulled my truck out with 2 tiny 4 wheelers in mud ice and snow!

The mental battle finally ended. I’ll never forget that experience, the feeling I had while we were stuck, and the feeling afterwards. Relief and Pure joy. I’ll never forget those 2 guys.

They were a great example to me. They didn’t need to help, he could’ve seen us and turned around. But he saw us digging and saw how bad it was, and still chose to try and help.

In the picture he’s wearing NODs and $150 tactical pants.

They are driving a $70,000 Ford Raptor.

They had the finest in tactical gear and flashy goon squad Instagram gun influencer shit money could buy.

They didn’t have food, water, blankets, cold weather gear, good shovels, a winch, tow straps, or any of the gear necessary to not die of the elements.

In WWI, there were more combat casualties from frostbite, trench foot, and disease than bombs or bullets.

These guys were going to get wiped out like the German army in Russia.  Not from enemy action but snow.

I’m absolutely going to dump shit on them for this because this is exactly what I expect from tactical influencers.

If the shit ever hits the fan, it’s good to know that if I want NODs and an HCAR, all I have to do it wait for the rich influencers with them to freeze to death, and I can take their Gucci gear off their corpseicles.

The ULVN shooting that happened last week is pretty much off the Media radar by now. The shooter was a Caucasian, but the moment it was known it was a university professor (and probably a Liberal), the “importance” of the event dissolved. Other than another statistic to be (mis)used by the Gun Control groups, this is now a non-event.   And the official soft-excuse/explanation/consideration for the guy’s behavior has been already given in this article: ‘Cry for help’: Forensic psychologists weigh in on UNLV shooter’s behavior (ktnv.com)

Scholastic Gun Free Zones keep collecting victims and it seems those living in them still fail to see they are just prey-in-waiting, but keep blaming guns for the killings. Yesterday I recalled the argument gun banner keep using against carrying on campus: “It will chill the free exchange of ideas” which is remarkably unfunny when you know the ideas only flow one way with fascistic determination. Heck, being a Jew on some campuses right now means you get to be chased by a mob of angry idiots waving Palestinian flags and chanting about genocide.

Is there evidence that a group of armed individual can sustain arguments and discussions without solving the dispute with guns?  How about concentration a dozen (or a couple of hundred) armed people who know how to shoot in an enclosed area and add a competition mixed with discussing politics and candidates? Because that is what shooting sports is almost every weekend somewhere across our nation. And if the Gun Grabbers’ dogma was true, we would have victims every weekend. Instead, we have a whole lot of paper perforated, a bunch of spent brass and/or hulls rolling around on the ground and maybe a feeling or two slightly scratched and that’s about it.

But we are the dangerous ones. In a sense they are right: We keep proving them wrong.
