Let's go back to the days of yesteryear, when Israel was young and struggling, and the "freedom fighters", or whatever they called themselves then, commonly raided the communal farms needed to supply produce to the country. The raids were usually at night, and the kibbutz school was often the...

Majic, are you just a bit locked in on the type of administrative thinking I referred to? We aren't using "their" solutions to solve "our" problems, and at the instant of decision, the problem is the same - attacker(s) taking and/or murdering in our schools. At that instant it is immaterial...

Even after this Russian school incident, few of our school administrators will seriously consider armed teachers or any civilians in the schools. Their mindset is such that "If the Government doesn't provide it, it can't be protection". They would look kindly on uniformed National Guardsmen on...

Much of the difference has to do with where you live. Most of the rest of it can be how you present yourself to your local LEOs. I've lived all over the country, and USUALLY had no trouble establishing a good relationship. I had the advantage of managing large warehouses, which had the usual...

armoredmans answer is a PRIME reason for reporting an incident. If an attempt is made on you, there is a high probability that the same hooligan(s) who tried you on for size have done it before, or will do it again. The "hassle" of reporting (inlcuding going to a line-up later to identify them...

I think everyone who has a S&W .45 Colt is in, or has gone through, the "worry wart syndrome" as one poster on the S&W Forum put it. Every owner wants to know the upper limits of the gun, and although we all know the cartridge can be loaded above those limits, the quandry goes on. Some just have...

The Lysol treatment works. I cleaned the inside of an old Bowie sheath that laid on a shelf for several years. Don't know what had gotten into it, but the stench inside made me think the leather was rotting. I swabbed it out with Lysol, on a piece of T shirt stretched over a thin piece of lath...

One tactic, described along with the shots from the AQ training clips, sticks in my mind. Five-man teams, with a vehicle (a "technical" pickup with a bed-mounted M60). These were used in a couple of the attacks on compounds in Saudi Arabia. The teams shot up gate and patrol security, while the...

I have wanted a pair of .45s since I was old enough to attend a Saturday Matinee, and tall enough to give the girl in the ticket booth a dime (which was the admission price back then). Finally, at 70, I have realized my dream - a pair of .45 Colt Nountain Guns, 625-6 mods. A friend has a 50 acre...

I carried a Commander for several years that was 4.5 lbs. on a couple of fairly accurate pull scales, and it was about perfect for me - certainly wouldn't go lighter. For DA, revolver or auto, a smooth 10 lb. pull seems right.

There was a news item from the UK a few months ago about a senior police official who sent warning letters to repeat offenders, warning them that they were being "closely watched". Zundfolges billboards would give them the impression that they are in the crosshairs. Mo' bettah message, IMO:what:

The use of deadly force revolves around prevention of death or great bodily harm to yourself and others. Different states write this in different ways, but the basis is the same. Being attacked by two men with baseball bats would fit the criteria everywhere. A requirement to "shout a warning" if...

I liked the hammer idea better - cleans the pool faster :rolleyes:

I just retired my old, black 1 1/2" Hellweg belt. After six years and many refinishings, it had started to get little soft. Forum member in Denver advertised a Milt Sparks for sale. I experienced almost the same euphoria that MJRW described. The Hellweg was a good belt. Six years of service for...

My son relayed one to me year before last. Won't mention the company -they don't deserve the smear - but one of their regular, experienced customers chambered a round in their showroom, closed the bolt and brushed the trigger as he revrsed his grip to open the bolt and eject the round. It went...

When I was VERY young, we lived in the small town of Jerome, AZ. One of the local LEOs, a friend of my dads, carried a .38/40 Bisley, and shot it from a two-handed hold. This was in 1939 and 40. "Men" held their guns in one hand. Military, police and civilian ranges were used by ranks of...

"What to use for bear defense" has been discussed so many times, in so many places, that it is almost a joke any more. I've taken two blacks with a Ruger Blackhawk, with factory 240 gr. .44 mag. Both were instant stops, through the shoulders, from the side. A second shot was necessary for the...

I caught part of the last 10 minutes or so. Interesting. The narrator said that Treadwell had dedicated his life to assimilating into the bear community, trying to become a part of it, and to one extent he was successful. The bear that killed him was well fed and in good condition. It did not...

In the heat of the summer, I often use a Ken Null inverted rig, his SMZ, with a J frame under an open, un-tucked button front sport shirt. The rig is over a T shirt (with pocket) and the harness is adjusted to hold the gun just to the outside of the pocket (not in the arm pit). My tobacco pouch...
