Real Basic Training

From a reader:



Usagi,
OK, lay it on me. Real quick, what you’d do if you had no gun and no skills and had to build up immediately to be ready for SHTF. Pretend cost is 50/50 an issue. Bring me up to speed really simple.I prefer a 16" barrel - all else can be "made to order."


RIFLE
  • AR15
  • Get the barrel contour you want. I'd get medium or heavy profile, but M4 is OK.
  • 10 mags. PMAGs.
  • Simple sling.
  • Samson free float rail - 12.37"
  • Red dot (Primary Arms Micro until you can afford $500 for an aimpoint) & BUIS
PISTOL
  • Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. 
  • 4 extra mags 
OPTIC / SIGHTS
  • Primary Arms Micro dot
  • Simple flip up BUIS
 MARKSMANSHIP
  • Get your marksmanship to a point where you can hit a 400-yard scaled target (5" at 100 yards).
  • Try to get out to 400 yards to practice. Remember: "chest - head - hat."
TRAINING
  • Clearing rooms
  • Taking corners
  • Administrative reloads
  • Malfunction clearance 
  • Cover vs. concealment

    Good advice. I did the same, except the optic I got was an EoTech. Is that still ok?

The Breed of Peace

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...

More Fake Than Wrestling

The stripper who accused several Duke LaCrosse players of rape in 2006 has now recanted - acknowledging they did not do the crime. We have known that for quite a while, as all charges were dropped due to a complete lack of evidence.  Even back in 2007, it was known what the truth was, but the national media started down a path we now call "believe all women." How do we know?

The main thing is that there's no lingering question. These boys didn't just get off. It's not going to be pondered whether these guys bought their innocence. They didn't do anything." — Elliott Wolf, Duke's student body president. The prosecutor withheld evidence in the case that would have exonerated the accused players. He was later disbarred for that.  Oh, and the stripper? She ...
