RECCE ROOM

As as a rule of thumb, this author avoids commenting on news until it is at least three days old. The rationale behind this decision is because so much is #fakenews . We begin to unfold the truth after the narrative has been deconstructed. The Fauci emails are no different.  So here are some truths we have known for a while that the emails have confirmed: * Most people will get COVID-19 and not even know it. * Ivermectin works... and was blocked. * The virus was “engineered.” * Masks aren’t necessary or effective. * Hydroxychloriquine works * Virtually everything Fauci said on TV after March was a lie. Based on his own words.  Fauci needs to be fired and prosecuted. He should have consulted Hillary Clinton on how to handle emails.  

Is in a recent class, it was observed that one participant had great difficulty establishing a good firm zero.  Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he had brought three different types of ammunition to the class. The instructions for the class were very clear and specific - bring xxx number of rounds, same make, same manufacture.  When asked why he did not bring all matching ammunition, the participant complained that what he brought was all that the gun store had. At the same class, another participant had similar issues.  Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the loose ammunition he had purchased from the gun store had multiple different types included in the bag.  A couple of other participants were also having difficulties - mostly with jamming. Upon closer inspection,  it was discovered that the ammunition they bought at the local gun store seemed to be reloads, and had been put in a package of a reputable manufacturer (Winchester brass...

This "gem" was found on Twitter... Open carry is stupid and foolish. But not because it makes this #LibTard upset. Give up your dinner & leave? It seems to imply she would punish the restaurant and server by leaving without paying.  Why not just ask for a to-go box? People who "have their last meal before shooting" don't do it this way. The man's rights do not trump hers in any way.  To even suggest that indicates a complete failure to understand what rights are.  He is not terrorizing her.  He is fueling her overdeveloped sense of entitlement with fodder that can gain her the attention she seeks. 

Found on social media.  The pertinence of what is shared is the motivation for this post. Bat Masterson on Deliberation… Any man who does not possess courage, proficiency in the use of firearms, and deliberation had better make up his mind at the beginning to settle his personal differences in some other manner than by an appeal to the pistol. I have known men in the West whose courage could not be questioned and whose expertness with the pistol was simply marvelous, who fell easy victims before men who added deliberation to the other two qualities. I will cite a few such instances that came under my own personal observation. Thirty-five years ago, Charlie Harrison was one of the best-known sporting men west of the Missouri River. He was of an impetuous temperament, quick of action, of unquestioned courage and the most expert man I ever saw with a pistol. He could shoot faster and straighter when shooting at a target than any man I ever knew; then add to that the fact that...

An Open Letter on Constitutional Carry: On March 29, the Tennessee House of Representatives passed HB 0786 by a vote of 64-29. The Tennessee State Senate version of the same bill, SB 0765, passed on March 18 with a vote of 23-9. Governor Bill Lee is expected to sign the bill into law. As such, it is set to take effect July 1, 2021. It is widely called the "Constitutional Carry" bill. As an NRA certified instructor (rifle and pistol), and a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit Certified Instructor, I am completely in favor of this legislation.  Some purists may note that this bill is not true "Constitutional Carry," as it does not have provisions for the carry of long guns (such as rifles or shotguns), and it does not provide for carry by most persons aged 18-21, among other restrictions. While the point is valid, it also means that as a matter of technicality, no other state has true "Constitutional Carry" either, as there are also some restrictions in place in ...

Last night, the Tennessee House of Representatives passed   the Permitless Carry  bill. The bill will now be transmitted to the Governor to sign. Governor Bill Lee is expected to sign it.  It would become law on July 1, the public welfare requiring it.  If the Governor does not sign it, the bill will go back to the legislature for a veto override. An override would require a simple majority vote. Both the House and the Senate passed the bill overwhelmingly, so a veto, although unlikely, would likely be overridden. If this happens, the bill becomes law on July 1, all the same.  If vetoed and not overridden, the bill will fail to become law. During the passage of the bill, which took several months, there was some debate. Not much opposition, in all fairness. Primarily, those opposed to the bill were Democrats, the Sherrif's association, and the Tennessee Firearms Association. Video of testimony  for and against the bill. At about 2:06, the representative...

During a recent training, several new persons were present. One of them was assigned the middle spot on the right side of the wedge formation seen below: Also present was another participant who was also new, but also had experience as a US Army veteran. The veteran rightly took it upon himself to offer advice to the first participant. The vet suggested that the participant patrol with the rifle in the left hand, so as to present more quickly, should the team receive contact from the right.  After awaiting for the advice to end, the author added to the thought, and this is the essence of that conversation. Direct questioning revealed that the participant in question did not train often using the left hand. Truth be told, most right handed soldiers do not, either - including infantry and most other combat roles. Therefore, the question was asked: "in an effort to present more quickly, is the purpose to suppress, or to make a hit?" It is assumed that in either instance, the end...
