Excuses Not To Shoot

By -
Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch explains why not to shoot. 

Here are some additions this author would add:


1. I don't have time. 
It is all about priorities. A person will make time for the things he thinks are important. So, a more honest statement would be: "I do not think this is a top priority."

2. Money (I don't have enough to train)
Again, this is a priority. What is funny is seeing people who vape or smoke, drink heavily on most weekends, then "don't have the money." Once, this author even saw that excuse, then the same person went to the beach the following weekend. 

3. Weather
If only all self defense situations were in perfect environments. Also, some of the best reviews come from classes held in the worst weather.

4. Safe Princesses
Why have a gun if you cannot shoot it? And if you collect some guns, why not pick up a few to train with? The good training guns are usually cheaper than collector guns. 

5. I already know how to shoot. 
If you say this, then you really don't know how to shoot. The true masters are always practicing, and they train regularly. Plus, tactics and techniques change with time. Improvements are made. And what's to say that the way you learned was correct?

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

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, ...
