Dry fire. Dry fire. Dry fire.

Patience always pays off. Sometime back, The Rifleman heard a song that spark memories from his youth. Indeed, the song was released the year that The Rifleman turned 8. However, The Rifleman never knew the name of this song. Complicating matters was the fact that the song was a one-hit wonder. As indicated, The Rifleman heard the song again within the past few years. Given that the situation was such that it was difficult to make out the lyrics, it was impossible to type those lyrics into Google to do a quick search to find the name of the song. In fact, the situation repeated itself a couple of times over the last few years. Then, while dining, The Rifleman heard the song again. The Establishment was a little noisy, and the lyrics were inaudible. However, the wait staff and management of the restaurant got to talking about the song... Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart.

Recently,  The Rifleman came across a set of standards for shooting. The   Lightfoot Militia   has a published set of standards for pistol qualification, rifle qualification, and designated Marksman qualification. Naturally, this is piqued the Rifleman's interest. First up, pistol.  Distance = 5 yards. 5 rounds per stage.  Target = 8.5x11" paper. Any shot on paper counts.  Pass or fail: 7 or more hits = pass. Stage 1: From "Low Ready" place 5 shots on paper in 15 seconds.  As you can see, this stage did not present a problem.  The Rifleman used some blue tape in the middle to help with aiming. However any shot on the paper would have counted. Stage 2 From the holster, draw and fire 5 rounds in 5 seconds. Easy as Pi! (Look at the time to get the pun!) Well, as you can see, The Rifleman scored a perfect 10 out of 10 on this particular qualification. The pistol used was a Sig P320. The evaluation was performed in full kit. ...

TCCC - Traumatic Combat Casualty Care CLS - Combat Life Saver Both of these classes are very similar in nature. The bulk of the material overlaps. TCCC has its origins in USSOCOM, whereas CLS originated with the US Army. Both courses focus on treatment of a troop wounded in combat. The Minuteman would be well-advised to take as many classes like this as possible. Well no blog post could even begin to be all inclusive with regards to the material presented in either course, this post will attempt to hit the highlights. The US military, in both of these courses, states that over 90% of preventable combat casualties occur from massive blood loss. A significant portion of the rest of preventable casualties happened from Airway obstruction. So, for the record, the minute man should carry an NPA - Nasopharyngeal Airway tube.  And know how to use it.  IFAK This is an individual first aid kit. The contents of your IFAK are be used on you.

Over the weekend, Senator John McCain from Arizona passed away. For the sake of brevity, the Rifleman will avoid mentioning the scandals associated with McCain's military service. Additionally, for the sake of brevity, McCain's service in the US Senate can be summed up with two words - term limits. He was a constant thorn in the side for the Right. He would vote lockstep with democrats for 5 years, then vote slightly Republican every election year in order to get reelected. Simply put, he was #GlobalistScum . Its telling when the people who were saying the nicest things about him were Bill Clinton,  Barack Obama, and CNN. Good riddance.  Now, let's get term limits in place so we don't have to wait for the other #GlobalistScum to die in order to get them out of office. 

The Rifleman was at supper recently, when he observed a young lady with the "can I please speak to a manager haircut" who was also dining. The haircut was exactly as is depicted in the memes above. The young lady was, in fact, more attractive then either of the models in the memes above. The Rifleman observed no missteps from the server. The young lady did not seem to indicate that anything was wrong with her food, either. Nevertheless and predictably, at the end of her meal, she asked to speak with a manager. However, this was in Memphis - the queen city of faux customer service complaints. The Rifleman noticed the manager, as well as the exact moment when the server informed him of the lady's request. The manager, likely 10 years the senior of The Rifleman, waited a moment or two before he went to the table. Demonstrating his superior experience, the manager did not lead off the conversation with the question, "what seems to be the trouble?" Most managers ...

The same people who would vote for Obunghole are the same who will bring anarchy.  They must not be underestimated. There are many of them. In their minds, they are fighting for their lives.  In a way it's true - they vote for a living.  They must take from producers in order to have anything.  That includes food, clothing, and shelter.  A good friend of the Rifleman predicts Civil War 2.0 in 2 years or less.  The Rifleman is hard pressed to argue.
