Today’s a bit of a light day, and I’m going to avoid going into some of the heavy stuff that’s on my mind, and doubtlessly on yours as well. So first I want to tell you about what I’ve decided on regarding posting habits. In all honesty, the daily posting is quite a bit of… Continue Reading

Keep Your Eye On The Man Behind The Curtain
Many virtual trees have been made into virtual paper over the last month or so regarding the possibility of a new and comprehensive gun control push. Indeed, a push of some sort has shown up. The usual suspects jump in front of the usual cameras saying the usual lies. The usual media folks spin and… Continue Reading
I’m Back, Didja Miss Me?
So thanks to some computer downtime and some strange stomach problem that had me down and out for a few days, I’ve been unable to do anything here. But my computer is back to healthy standards and I’m feeling much better, so I’m back. I’ve got some great reviews coming this week, as well as… Continue Reading
Matt Bracken: Dear Mr Security Agent
Rudy’s Note: Today instead of one of my posts I’m going to repost an article by Matt Bracken, posted at the Western Rifle Shooter Association website.

How to Teach Instead of Preach
Last week I wrote about the importance of teaching the people we’re in contact with, and how important it is to avoid preaching to them. I got a couple emails asking about how to do that, and how to best communicate the concepts of preparedness without preaching. The most important thing to remember is that… Continue Reading
It’s Not About Your Guns
I had something different in mind to write about tonight, but then the events in Newtown, CT happened, and the predictable swarm of politicians and attention seekers found microphones and keyboards. And unfortunately yet again they crawled over bodies on their way to manipulate the misery and grief of others to make political hay. Equally… Continue Reading
Yet Another Manufactured Crisis Goes Wild
Smoke and mirrors, folks. Smoke and mirrors. The whole sequester thing is nothing but yet another manufactured crisis that’s there to keep you occupied. Once again the sob stories, predictions of disaster, and threats of “necessary” services being cut are all over the “mainstream media.” And once again, it’s all lies. The draconian cuts (2.3%… Continue Reading
