Info Bleg:

Since the first rule is “Bring a gun” I am looking for a pocket pistol…I have, as my daily carry, (and wherever legal) depending on where I will be and the gun friendliness of the places I will be, one of the following:

General daily carry:  Para LDA 3″  It is a .45 1911-oid… is stainless. This is a 3″ 1911 shaped (and manual of arms) firearm with a really long, but smooth and light double action trigger. Nice, but not as concealable as:

Social carry: Beretta 3032 Tomcat. Yeah, I know a defensive gun is supposed to have a caliber beginning with a “4” and all that….and a .32 isn’t a real caliber … But I can’t always carry a .45 in some social situations, or for instance, when I am doing something like bowling or such….And modern loads for the .32 ACP approach the .380 in stopping power…not much, but a whole lot better than a sharp word….(if I could buy a Beretta model 86 today, in stainless, I’d buy one)

Around home/working in the yard, etc: A Taurus TCP in .380 ACP (is there any other size?). It is a last ditch thing, but the pistol is durable, tolerant of dirt and sweat, and is easily concealed and doesn’t move around…and is easy to secure with an IWB holster and a belt, even when I am doing things like splitting wood or fixing a piece of machinery….If I am in the barn, there are other close at hand options. If I am out in the yard, well, again, better than a stick…

One thing that is very important to me in all of these guns is resistance to corrosion….I have sweat that eats carbon steel like acid. Anything carried IWB has to be either stainless or resistant to corrosion or it will be pitted in a week and inoperative in a month. Seriously.

I am looking at the DAO Bodyguard .380….anyone have any experience with this firearm? Durability, resistance to sweat, dirt, etc? Reliability? Other observations?  Holster options for Concealed Carry?

So today is 9/11….

and leaving the historical significance of the date aside, it is likely to be a lively day…..

Seems that bunch of “Black Lives Matter” type folks are planning some demonstrations and other rallys promoting violence and mayhem.

I’d be careful. Be on guard. Stay away form predominantly poor black neighborhoods on 9/11 and 9/12.

This might be (most likely will be) a fizzle. But maybe not.

Plan accordingly…

Best not to be there, if ya can arrange it….You can’t fight a mob, if and when. You can’t carry enough magazines…

14 years ago:

‘Twasn’t christians, nor Bhuddists, not Wiccans nor Hindus nor Jews… ‘Twas Muslims. Supported by Muslims. I don’t care if it is politically correct to point that out or not. Not all Muslims are bad, but again, it wasn’t Christians, nor Buddists, not Wiccans nor Hindus nor Jews who did this terrible deed……

I won’t forget.
Will you?

Y’know….

Every major Holiday I am amazed at the actions of people. Why in the hell some people leave home, and drive 1200 miles in a car that a sane person wouldn’t drive across town (a small town, like on with 274 people in it)….and with $27.43 in their pocket for gas, food and (“unexpected”) repairs…..I’m talking cars with oil leaks, rotten hoses and belts, bald tires, rod knocks, bad lifters, weak fuel pumps, cracked distributor caps, bad wires, and missing exhausts….. Cars that you’d be afraid to dive past the end of your block…..

Yet they drive from Arkansas to upper Michigan and (they hope) back…..

Or not….as I find out every major travel Holiday.

Looks like Barry

Has the race/culture war he wanted…

Someone is stirring up a segment of that Demographic.  I wonder who it is?

And once they get the cops on the defensive, then what?

Are they gonna go after Whitey? It’ll probably work on the liberal city dwelling metrosexuals and the other liberals who really have no clue…who can’t defend themselves…

But not elsewhere….Some targets are harder than others.

And if they do start killing cops and others, it will once again set relations between the races back. Just like the DNC wants so they can keep stirring the pot and garnering votes from the “disenfranchised”…

How many lives is that vote worth to these people?
