Mouse Guns And The Effective Use Of Them In A Self-Defense Situation

1. .22, .25, and .32 caliber pocket-type weapons do have a niche, albeit a small one.

2. Most people do not truly understand their limited application and therefore the guns are, or can be, misused.

3. I consider guns of this type as contact weapons more than true combat pistols.

4. The only target that should be considered is the face/head area and at arms length. Honestly, I always assumed if I ever had to use mine, it would be tucked under my assailant’s ear or chin, more of a knife that goes band.

5. Use the hottest and finest ammo you can get, as you need every edge you can with the diminutive calibers.

6. Small caliber hide-out guns need to be absolutely reliable (as do all weapons). By the time these tools of last resort are deployed it is already too late for any malfunction corrections and they’re too light to use as a sap.

7. Do I advocate their usage? No, certainly not nonetheless, if it is all you have at least have some idea of how to use it and what to expect from its use.

8. .22’s, .25’s, and .32’s are effective killing rounds, as are any firearm cartridges, but they are not so-called stopping rounds. You may very well be dead before your attacker.

So-called mouse guns ARE killers, they're NOT stoppers...that's where the confusion lies and, truth be known, no handgun is a true "stopper".

Wilderness Survival: Fire Starting Cell phone, Rock and Flint

Basic Fire Building Skills

You choose your favorite rifle with its leather sling, strap on your 9mm and holster for just-in-case and head out into the wilderness. As the sun fades, you may find the need to build a fire for warmth or to boil drinking water and yes to cook that rabbit you killed, or even signal someone to rescue you. If you require fire for survival you will need to take great precaution in the size of your fire. It would not be a good thing to burn down forest or destroy property. In this article you will learn: 1. The basic philosophy of fire. 2. Selecting a site to build a survival fire. 3. Material to use. 4. How to build a fire. 5. How to light it.

BASIC PHILOSOPHY OF FIRE

When learning how to build a fire it's helpful to have a basic understanding of what fire really is. Fuel does not burn directly, heat needs to be applied to the fuel to cause it to emit gasses when mixed with oxygen will burn. The fire triangle is very important in understanding how fire operates and how to maintain its use. There are three sides to the fire triangle: heat, air and fuel. If any of these three elements are removed, a fire cannot exist. Conversely to build a fire one must use the appropriate mixtures of the fire triangle.

SELECTING A SITE FOR A FIRE
When considering building a fire you have to make sure the site where you build is suitable for small and large fires. So, before you build think about:
The area in which you are to build.
The materials you plan to use to build a fire.
How much time you have to get the fire built.
Why you need to even have a fire.

Throw your rifle sling over your shoulder and scout around looking for a dry spot that:
Is protected from the wind
Down wind from your shelter
Will give you the best heat.
Has a supply of fuel (wood) readily available.

If there is a lot of brush or leaves in the area where you are planning to build a fire, scrape a place at least 1 yard in diameter all the way to the dirt surface lessening the chance of the fire spreading. If you have enough time, build a small rock wall in a circle around the area. Build it slightly higher on the opposite side you want the heat to flow. This will also hinder sparks from freely flying by cutting down the wind on your fire.

MATERIAL TO USE
You will need three substances to build a fire: tinder, kindling, and fuel. Tinder is something dry that requires very little heat to catch. It should only take a spark to light tinder. It must be absolutely dry. If you have a piece of charred cloth, it will work the best because it holds a spark the longest so you can add kindling to it to start a small fire. You can make charred cloth by heating it till it turns black but without burning. Once black, keep it completely dry so as to not absorb any moisture. You can make up some charred cloth in advance of any outdoor excursion.

Kindling burns easily and is effortlessly applied to tinder that is burning. This, as well as the tinder, must be totally dry so that it burns readily. The purpose of kindling is to create a hotter fire so it can burn fuel which is not so easily ignited. Fuel is material that requires more heat to burn and stay burning for long periods of time. Wood shavings and leaves are very good kindling.

HOW TO BUILD A FIRE
There are several techniques to build a fire but the easiest is the teepee. To make a teepee you need to assemble the tinder, kindling and fuel in the shape of a teepee or a cone. Then light the tinder at the center of the bottom of the teepee. As the fuel ignites and burns the fuel will fall toward the center thereby adding fuel to the fire as it burns.

HOW TO LIGHT THE FIRE
Be sure you light your fire from the upwind side so as not to burn yourself while lighting. There are several types of starters.  If you use matches, make sure you purchase the waterproof variety as well as a water tight container for storage. Assuming you have matches to do this, apply the match to the tinder and let it burn to ignite the kindling and then the fuel.

SUMMARY
Remember fire can be your friend or enemy. As a friend it can save your life; as an enemy it can take your life. Be careful and have fun in the wilderness.

"Sometimes You Have To Die For Something I Believe In".. Really?

Here's an interesting little video that is obviously produced by liberals in the world.  It discusses why they believe that all guns should be banned and the logic behind it.  If it wasn't so ridiculous it would almost be funny.

Ruger SR22 Compact Pistol That Is Affordable To Shoot

I've always thought that it would be great if the weapon you carry on a daily basis had a model which operated with the same functions as what you're carrying.  Well, Ruger must have heard me because they just introduced the new Ruger SR22.  This great pistol now allows you to practice shooting with ammunition that won't break the bank while having the same characteristics as what I carry (the  Ruger SR9c 9mm pistol.
Here's the information that will help you make the decision to buy one of these sweet weapons.  For a cost of less than $400.00 you can't go wrong.  Compare this with Colt's newest 1911-22 at around $600.00 and you see exactly what a great deal the Ruger SR22 is.

Ruger Introduces New SR22 Pistol
January 02, 2012
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the new Ruger® SR22™ pistol, the do-it-all .22 pistol for the shooter who appreciates style and demands reliability. The SR22 is a rugged, scaled-down version of a full-sized pistol, perfect for plinking, target shooting and small game hunting. The lightweight SR22 has modern styling and is fun to shoot while using inexpensive rimfire ammunition.

"Ruger has built a solid reputation for excellence in rimfire pistols with the Mark III™ and 22/45™ product families, and the new SR22 will contribute positively to that reputation," said Chris Killoy, Ruger Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "This pistol is feature-packed and an incredible value - consumers won't find a similar product with everything the SR22 offers at a comparable price. It functions with all types of .22 LR ammunition for extreme reliability; once rimfire enthusiasts pick it up, they won't want to put it down," he concluded.

The SR22 has light double-action and crisp single-action trigger pulls. Its external hammer is designed with a rounded spur for easy cocking and single-action shooting. The SR22 features a polymer frame and two interchangeable (no tools required) rubberized grips with angled serrations, allowing shooters to select either a slim or wider palm swell option. The aerospace-grade aluminum slide has serrations on both front and rear for better grip and slide manipulation.

The 3-dot sight system has a fixed front sight and a rear sight that is adjustable for both windage and elevation. A reversible blade allows shooters to select two white dots or a solid black blade. Other SR22 features include a stainless steel replaceable barrel, an ambidextrous manual thumb safety/decocking lever, ambidextrous magazine release, plus a visual inspection port to determine the load status of the pistol. The SR22 includes two finger grip extension floorplates that can be added to the magazine for comfort and grip. Each SR22 is also shipped with two 10-round magazines and a soft case.
