I am dropping this intro and the link. It is an excellent interview that will benefit those who can’t do the Ninja Classes.

Training Despite Challenges

After we publish an interview or column advising members to participate in on-going documented training as preparation to weather the legal aftermath of self defense, members often express genuine concern because they do not believe they can complete firearms courses due to age, physical infirmity or disability and the severe budgetary constraints that too often attends the limited income available to a disabled citizen.
In light of the many years Massad Ayoob has taught firearms and self defense, I turned to him with the concerns expressed by these members and we recorded this short interview to share Massad’s suggestions and recommendations in his own words.

From Rick:
Got a flash sale – at least that is what I guess you call them….

Our Aero Precision manufacturer just came out with their new, limited run AR 15 builders sets. The Pledge of Allegiance one is darn right beautiful. I am certain these will disappear very quickly. Let me know if you want one…. I suspect we have a couple of hours before the Pledge of Allegiance ones are gone. I already ordered mine. LOL.

Go get in touch with Rick and see if you can get yourself a nice Freedom dappling.

And if you do, share your darn pics. We wanna see!

I saw J. Kb.’s post and I was reminded of this little story by Mathew Bracken.

It is Oakland, the city that is fast approaching its own extermination via Liberal politics. It is good to know that they encourage kids to work even if it is in the sex industry and again their wills. At least they are not doing dangerous stuff like selling lemonade out of their front yards. [end sarcasm]

I have been helping with research for a book and I have been perusing old newspaper from 100 years ago and crime-wise, you would be hard-pressed to figure out they are not from this century.

Murder in all shapes and modes. From your simple robbery gone wrong to mass killings. Murder-suicides because of mental illness, hardships and very possibly addiction-induced common as dirt. Robbery-murders? All the time and so ever gruesome like this example.

“Head pounded to a mass of jelly with ice pick.” Holy crap, that is some cruel dedication right there.

Serial Killers? Several with head counts well above the dozen.  So far I read of two uncaught bastards  specializing in young children: one only boys and one in girls. The papers did not specify if they were sexually attacked which would be the norm for those times not to report.

And even though guns were easy to obtain, you would have a hard time finding crimes using them. Tools implements and handles were the favorite which meant the killers liked it close and personal. Guns were used in about 15% of the cases in my estimation and this is the era when you literally could buy a gun at your local hardware store, general store and pawn shop without any idiotic government paperwork and I am not including private sales.

As for the cities with most crime? New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis ae mentioned over and over in editorials. What a surprise! It makes you think that all the Gun Control laws passed over this last century had not had an impact on crime and that maybe, just maybe there are other causes that may need to be addressed.

What crimes is not the same (at least not yet)? Lynching and  Anarchist-related killings. in the 1910s, lynching is not yet common but its frequency is picking up and it is interesting that although the majority of recipients of what they called “necktie parties” were black, a sizeable amount were also whites, specially cop killers.

Unions were in full fighting mode with the Anarchists taking to bomb the crap out pf the opposition or if explosives were not available, committing arson was an acceptable option. In at least one occasion, they shot a parade of the American Legion celebrating Armistice day under the excuse of defending themselves from men carrying banners and flags. Even though I had some serious push back from modern “Anarchists,” the ones back then were unabashed Bolsheviks (and they admitted so) since the Soviet Revolution was the fashionable flavor of the end of that decade. In other words, Socialists and Communists doing their stuff.

I am starting the Roaring 20s and guess what was one of the first crimes I find? A Drive-By by members of the Black Hand.

 ASTOR, Fla. (WSVN) — A Florida deputy fatally shot an alligator with an AR-15 rifle after the reptile trapped a teenage girl in a tree.
According to a sheriff’s report obtained by the Orlando Sentinel, Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputy Mitch Blackmon was called to the scene after family members called 911 to describe how 15-year-old Jordan Broderick was trapped in a tree by a large gator for over 30 minutes.

Florida deputy fatally shoots alligator who trapped girl in tree.

Kidding aside,  I understand maybe why they waited: Florida Fish and Wildlife will side with the gators if you even look cross-eyed at one.  Shooting and killing one? You are better off killing humans.

I made this meme some time ago. It has been proven right.

And this is why I know how to make home-made napalm.
