(Seeing whole of other side’s bleachers, but can’t see the bad behavior on your side unless you willfully turn around and look back). One of the problems I have is if you aren’t willing to stand up to the barking moonbats on your side (much less acknowledge … [Read more…]
I tell people that if they are going to carry a concealed pistol prepare to invest between $6,000 to $10,000. Most of it in training. Yes there’s the equipment issues (including fer gawd’s sake a GOOD holster). That and gunsmithing can easily get you into into a grand plus. This kind of stuff is important … [Read more…]
How to Exercise Our Right to Defend Ourselves without Being Victim-Blaming —————————————————————————– Commentary: Aside from watching the incredible mental gymnastics to reconcile an unsupportable ideology with raw reality (i.e. a woman has the right to walk naked into a biker bar and not be molested — well okay, well maybe that’s unrealistic, but she should! … [Read more…]
A statement I saw on Amy A’s Facebook wall. “I’m not mansplaining… I’m a just a condescending dick.” First, there’s one for honest communication.

I refer to them as social harpies (those who come screeching down and shut down discussion about important issues and/or maintain there is only ONE allowable dogma allowed). ******** I never ‘fight’ to change a fanatics mind. If anything, I’m … [Read more…]

When it’s worth it,” Anthony M. mentioned that his firearms instructors talked about the “Combat Triad consisting of Marksmanship, Gunhandling, and Mindset.” My response: Good model there. Dropping into a similar mode I’ll say there are three important aspects of mindset (not only three, … [Read more…]
I think I just figured out what bothers me so much about people writing from the perspective of ‘_____ (fill in the blank)s are the victims of society.’ This especially when it comes to making statements about how they’re taught/raised/what society expects of them and the horrible burdens they must carry because of society.
