2 years ago, I started to use this little contraption: BravoBelt Belly Holster.

And finally, it needs to be retired.  I made calculations and to summarize, it was ridden hard and put away wet for about 2 hours a day, 5 days a week for the 2 years.  As with most things elastic, it is no longer doing its thing, understandable after certainly a long time of abuse. I wore it during periods of constant movement and exertion (and lots of sweating) and not once it felt I was carrying the gun in an insecure manner. It always was kept secure which is the most important part of the deal.

I bought another one and it is ready to be abused. I am not going to screw with a proven concept.

This is a 2-part interview that you must read. Contrary to what the Internet Legal Chest Thumpers say, you are better off doing some talking to the police after a self-defense encounter. But the issue becomes what and how to say which means you need to know what and how to say your piece. Just like accuracy or weapon presentation, you need to learn how to do it, prepare and even practice.

The legal cost of a trial I was told, starts somewhere in the mid six figures. George Zimmerman incurred in over $2 million in expenses. Do you have that much money in the bank? Oh, and you are not guaranteed a positive outcome even if you had the money.

On the RHLSTP podcast, director Rob Reiner revealed that the upcoming ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ sequel will include appearances by Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Garth Brooks. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer will all reprise their roles in the fictional metal band, who will be the subject of another documentary from Reiner’s filmmaker character Marty DiBergi 40 years later. Production begins in February.

If they offer that T shirt, they will sell a boatload of them. I will want it for sure.

This is several days old, but barely got mentioned:

Gov. Bill Lee has announced that he will not ask state lawmakers to pass an extreme risk protection order during the upcoming legislative session. That proposal would have allowed a judge to temporarily prevent people found to be a danger to themselves or others from possessing firearms.

That does not mean Red Flag bills will not be brought back by the Libs in the Legislature, but they no longer have the “moral” support of the Governor’s bully pulpit.

Of course, that does not mean the Republicans are going to pass any significant Pro Gun legislation, but what is new, right?

If we could just start by eliminating posted locations, it would mean a great deal for the community.  They tried something last year, but it was a dumb convoluted bill that did not make sense.

I just contributed and signed on to lay a wreath at Stones River National Battlefield on December 16.

The missus and I attended last year, and it was a moving and satisfying experience.

If you want to sponsor a wreath (or several), you can click here [Wreaths Across America] where you can also sign in to be part of the ceremony if you choose so.

This is from January 1994.

From what little I gathered, in most cases is somebody who knows the place beforehand (worked there/knows friend or has relative, etc.) and that means they do not want witnesses left alive.

Here is another excerpt from the article:

There is no doubt that having a gun to defend yourself increases the odds of survival, especially if the bad guy does not know you have one (Hint: Nobody at work needs to know), but that does not mean you should surrender your life without a determined resistance. Yes, you may get shot, but it may not be the pop in the head he wants, and you may have a chance to survive.

Submission means an almost guaranteed death.

I would probably crap my undies.
