Repealing The Second Ammendment...

Some people will sign anything. This guy, obviously, is NOT recommending the repeal of the second amendment yet people sign this silly petition without so much as a second thought. And you wonder why you aren't safe on the streets and in your homes. Come on everybody use your heads. Think a little bit about what's going on in the USA today. There really are people out there that would gladly go door to door to take away your ability to defend yourself, your family or anyone threatened with great bodily harm.

Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rim-fire Rifle

If you're looking for one of the best 22 rifles ever made this is it. I have been able to get my grubby little hands on one of these and the owner had to nearly rip it out of my hands to get it back. Yes, it is that good. Here's more information that I think will help. The humble little .22 Long Rifle (LR) has been the most popular caliber for generations, never more so than now. Like millions of other kids I grew up with a .22 rifle in my hands but as I grew older the .22s got left behind while I pursued other interests. Now, with centerfire ammunition being scarce and expensive, the little .22 is enjoying a huge comeback; not just for kids, but for everyone wanting to maintain their skills without having to mortgage the farm. Too, everyone from preppers to backpackers, or those looking for a handy, durable and reliable firearm, is gravitating towards .22 rifles and pistols. With the 10/22 Takedown, Ruger has produced a .22 rifle that should appeal to all these folks and more.

22 Long Rifle Self Defense Weapon

Over the past few months I've been talking with another expert in the firearm field and we've both come to the same conclusion: The 22 Long Rife cartridge is an excellent round for both self defense and for survival.  Here's a short video that will explain the reasons why this is such a good round to use. 

Of course the 22LR would not be my recommendation as a full-time self defense round but in a pinch it would work and make it so you can get out of most any situation in which you might find yourself.

First Handgun Bootcamp Training

If you're traveling you should always have a way to protect yourself and having a concealed weapon on your person is one of the best solutions to that problem.  47 states now allow you to carry a concealed weapon even if you're not from their state.  Washington, Illinois and New York are (as far as I can tell) are the only states that won't allow you to carry concealed while within their borders.  The solution to that is to unload your weapon and place it is a locked location.  Put the ammunition you have in a separate place as far away from the weapon as possible in your vehicle.  Once you've cleared the state line just retrieve your weapon and carry on.  Better yet though:  Avoid those states all together!

In every state that allows a citizen to carry a concealed weapon there are requirements that must be met.  Normally it is a short (8-12 hour) training course in which a lawyer comes in and details the specifics of the law concerning concealed carry and then you go to a range to prove that you can actually handle the weapon you've chosen to carry.

I would suggest to you that the 8-12 hour training is a good start but in order for you to really become aware of what you've chosen to do as it relates to protecting yourself, your family and your property you really need to go further than the initial training you had to go through.

Here's a great resource that I think you should at least take a look at.  It offers detailed training beyond what you'll learn in your beginners class and much more.

Refusing To Play The Game

It has been quite a while since my last posting and the title of this post should explain why. I've been sitting back watching all of the craziness going on and shaking my head in disbelief.
One political party goes one way while the other goes in the other direction. It can be frustrating to watch so I simply opted out for a while. However, now that things have calmed some I will begin posting again with some up to date and useful information that will help you on your journey.

Stay tuned. Be safe. Stay armed!

Ruger 10/22 Breakdown Backpackable Rifle

Wow, Ruger has done it again.  They're offering a fantastic addition to their 10/22 line of rifles.  This one is selling so fast that they can't keep them in stock.  And that is the way it should be for such a great little rifle.

With all the fears of social breakdown looming just over the horizon many people have decided that being able to shoot well, shoot often and shoot inexpensively is the only available option.  Larger calibers are simply too expensive to shoot anymore and unless you're willing to sacrifice a few meals a month to buy ammunition it is best to just down-grade to a lesser caliber and become proficient with it.

Check out Ruger's web-site for this great new rifle and see what you think.  I was very impressed with it when I shot it and am sure you will be also.

Oh, before I forget, you can now also get 25 round magazines for this rifle.  Best of all they still operate on the revolving cylinder just as the original magazine does for the 10/22.  Now just how great is that?!!!

Bug Out Bags There's The Best And Then The Rest

Everybody always asks me what I carry in my bug-out bag.  It is a difficult question to answer as I change up what is in it based on circumstances I run across as time goes on.  So, rather than tell you what is in my bag I contacted one of my friends to tell you what should and/or shouldn't be in your bag and how to determine what might be best for you.

Here's a video he has done that I think will help you out.  I hope you enjoy it and take some of the things he has to say to heart as you prepare to survive.
