Just for Women - 23 Truths About Firearms
I am doing research for another presentation / seminar and came across this website and this article. It might be worthwhile sharing this with your better / prettier half. If you avoid phrases like, Zombie Attack, End of the World, Myan's, and Bath Salt's, you might be able to get your wife to buy into being prepared mindset easier. FWIW, I ordered a few of her books to see what my 'control' audience thinks of it. http://thesurvivalmom.com/2011/10/10/just-for-women-23-truths-about-firearms/

Who Do You Follow on Twitter?
Mostly Security / Civilian Contractors and terrorist / security analysts. They report real news as it happening or just about to happen. Unlike our press. Plus it serves as a good message format for select groups to get 'status' reports of each other. Plus GFH.

14-year-old Phoenix boy shoots, nearly kills armed intruder
My son who is 13 and my twin girls almost 12 were read this by me today. I explained the importance of never opening the doors for strangers, even if they are wearing a uniform and how the situation would be entirely different if this played out in NJ. As mentioned, I would be in jail, my son in JV and my kids whisked away to be re-programed by the foster system. However, I find myself wrestling with keeping a 10/22 more accessible which all three are quite accomplished with. My son, can work an AR pretty damn good as well. Maybe not this year, but before they turn 18 for sure.

NAPPEN LAW FIRM WINS SECOND AMENDMENT CASE !
You climb a mountain by hand holds and foot holes. This was way more then a hold, this is a base camp where further assents can depart from. The horribly evil Anarchist's Cookbook. Before Al Gore invented the internet, that was the go to place to find ways into the ER. Now with the internet, the Kramer Jihadists and other anarchists can really prove Darwin right.

Joe Kyrillos??
Not voting is essentially giving the opposition a vote.

Joe Kyrillos??
FWIW - At a recent ANJRPC meeting this was discussed. We were given some personal testimonials who personally know him, that he would be a friendly. Then again (my take), any time a policitian's lips are moving you have to be skeptical. Bottom line - Could you / Would you really vote for Mendenez? Or as we typically do in the PRNJ, vote against him?

Firearms allowed @ national parks?
I forget where I read it, but handguns are only 3% effective in stopping a charging bear, whereas Bear Spray is around 98%. Pepper spray and a SOG Tomahawk are a nice combination on any hike.

LEO question on HR 218
What qualifies for a building that a Park Service employee conducts business I wonder? Is an outhouse considered one of those facilities? Not just dropping a deuce, but a plumber for example. IIRC, when I was in Yellowstone, there were privately run / rented gift / food stores on the land, would they be part of the exemption if it was Yosemite? Like NJ, they like to be overly complicated.

The 378's used to look so sharp. The 270's and 210's just never had the 'look'.

San Diego huh?...The Northland (before we were commissioned and home ported in Portsmouth) used to moor up at the Naval Base Anti Submarine Warfare pier when we were playing around Baja to the Canal. Ahh, Tijuana in 1984 during shakedown was a blast.

I can only tell you what our instructor told and showed us. It wasn't just his word, we had the parts in our hands to inspect and learn from. There isn't a perfect company out there. But some take a little more pride in thier work and others rely on name recognition and being priced for the masses. Sometimes things slip by QC...and sometimes, there just isn't a QA program in place. YMMV. Yo bhunted...you a shallow water sailor? Plankowner here... CGC Northland and then AD in Alaska.

FWIW - It might be cheaper to buy a quality drop in trigger assembly for your AR. I'm an AR armorer and depending on who made your trigger, just getting a new one might be your best bet. I don't want to slam anyone's baby, but during our class, we were shown a butt load of poor quality machining that came from essentially two manufacturers.....<cough> Bushmaster<cough> Olymipic <cough>.

Police raid Raritan twp man's home for suspected arsenal and intent to sell
I have lots of respect for SWAT teams from training with them. And as mentioned, many are previous operators with experience in the sand box. From a practical point, IF I had to pick one pattern for all around practical applications, it would be MC. Black is frigging hot in the sun and doesn't hide all that well even in low light. I've worn a dark navy blue uniform in Panama and can tell you that your black boots feel like they are on fire. So, as far as the uniform of the day, I have no problems with the color pattern. I would opt for a tan helmet because your head is going to cook in that in the sun. Also, SWAT is up close and personal far from being a true to form sniper. IIRC, almost all SWAT sniper shots are under 100 yards. And if SWAT is on site, there really isn't an element of surprise. My BEEF is that too many towns feels the need to have SWAT Teams, Armored PC's and Special Operation Groups. That is what the county and state is supposed to provide. Not the case here as they county and state were brought in. But to many small towns feel the need to spend sick money of being all geared up, like Wayne and Hoboken. Newark, Camden and Jersey City, ought to have special teams. But the smaller towns would be better off, sealing off the area, placing a couple of sharp shooters and wait for the pro's to come in.

Hiking Spots North Jersey
Took one of my daughter's backpacking / camping a couple of weeks ago by Bushkill. Nice state park that had about 13 / 15 miles. I feel better about having my kids with me and being able to carry a handgun...and bear spray. Go on Amazon and buy a few books on NJ backpacking or hiking. I got two books for NJ and PA. Geocaching is something my kids are getting into as well. Quality family time in the woods is priceless.

Sig Issues
I've got a P229 in 40 cal for about two years now. It eats every and anything factory or reloads. I reload and using CCI and Federal primers along with Titegroup and have not had any issues. Do the light strikes happen on the first shot when you are SA or when you are in DA mode? Or is it a random deal? Also, might want to measure you case lenght on the light strikes. If you case is short, the cartridge may be going into battery a hair too far resulting in the lighter strike. Bust out the mic and do some measuring. FWIW - I bought some 'undersized' dies from EGW to make sure my 9mm and 40's all chamber without a hitch. I heard Glocks and some Sigs were prone to feeding issues if the cases were even slightly out of spec. Never had an issue using these dies...should pick up another set for a rainy day.

Sh*t Veteran's Don't Say - You Tube Video by RangerUp
My wife watched it last night and was cracking up. She saw it on my FB page and was like, "what, did they tape you and your friends for this?". The line that hit her the funniest was the woman at the bar saying, "Army guys have the best pick up lines". Being the Ricco Suavey romantic I am, I was guilty as charged. Anyone that knows me or was stationed with me always asked, why the Coast Guard, you should've been a Marine MEU/ Recon, Scout / Ranger, PJ or any other spec ops type of nut.
