Ho, maybe these quotes will chill your whiskey. “If in order to kill the enemy you have to kill an innocent, don’t take the shot. Don’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.” “We’ve backed off in good faith to try and give you a chance to straighten this problem out. But I am going to beg with you for a minute. I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.” “We will move swiftly and aggressively against those who resist, we will treat others with decency, demonstrating chivalry and soldierly compassion for people who have endured a lifetime under Saddam’s oppression. You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon." Granted, it's not the "bow and apologize to everyone" diplomacy that we've seen over the last 8 years. But, it is diplomacy. In my opinion, the right kind. Oh, and he said this when asked about why he banned unnecessary briefings under his command. “PowerPoint makes us stupid.” A man after my own heart, this one is.

More important than all the tactical ninja stuff is understanding the law of self defense.

One other thing I tell people to get with their first handgun is a good flashlight like a Surefire. When things go bad it more likely the lighting will be less than ideal. I carry it in my pocket every where I go and it sits next to my pistol on the nightstand at night. Flashlight goes a long way in helping with target acquisition and a true threat assessment.

Oddly enough, I just read two days ago that ForeFlight has a logbook. Based on how Tyson Weihs is masterfully reinventing everything related to electronic pilot aids, there is no doubt that if ForeFlight's logbook isn't the best, it will be very shortly.

Speaking of range fun, got to participate in another night shoot south of San Antonio last weekend. While we were waiting on it to get dark, I decided to dig out the Yugo SKS and launch the M68 practice grenade for everyone's entertainment!

Agreed, while classes help, you're only going to get proficient by shooting as much as you can. And I don't mean standing at the range, aiming for three minutes and then pulling the trigger. That's fun for sport but not practical for a SHTF situation. I recommend IDPA or similar events that simulate self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. You'll find a huge difference when you're "scootin' and shootin'" and that center ring shots are not necessarily necessary in a life-or-death situation. IDPA utilizes cover and concealment as well as off-hand scenarios that will push your limits as a shooter. Luckily, while some are there to compete, many participate in such events simply to become better shooters! Here is a video of some of the scenarios IDPA utilizes at a range not far north of Randolph just to give you an idea of how their events work...

Don't give PEX anymore power than it already does. As soon as it gets to Cyber it will become self-aware and schedule everybody for weekly Green-Dot training.

On the other hand would it be better to have guys who know what a dead 18 year old looks like instead of all chickenhawks ,neocons and east coast elitists who have never served. VP Pence son is a Marine, I believe having skin the game comes a new way of thinking.
