How Many SAPS Firearms Have Been Lost or Stolen in 2017?
A few weeks ago I was tasked with compiling a report for a government official regarding how many SAPS and other State-owned firearms have been lost or stolen this year so far. I had to rely exclusively on media reports, which were surprisingly thinly spread if one considers the SAPS have lost no fewer than 18 196 firearms in the six year period from 2005 until 2011.

Handheld Firearms – Hundreds of Years of Transformation and Improvement: Modern Warfare Today
There is more history about the development of personal guns and weapons of war thanone can possibly imagine.
Fortunately, modern warfare has learned a few lessons, men are no longer thrust into battle as mere cannon fodder.
Today’s U.S. Military, when needed on the ground, are used in a manner that will give the biggest probability of returning home alive and well.
Today’s killing comes from submarines, ships on the ocean, the airand strategic use of less troops on the ground.
Ironically this was all accomplished without gun free zone signs and Diane Feinstein and her anti-Second Amendment ilk.
This article could have just as easily been titled, ” A primer on war.”

The Best Tool for the Job

I love guns, and if you’re reading this I’m sure most of you are rather fond of them as well. Given the choice, the money and the space, I would have at least one of every gun ever made. Whether good, bad, futuristic or just plain bonkers, guns have shaped the world by their use, their design and their technology.

Rough Rider ThunderStreak
Is the answer to the question, “Does Rough Rider make tactical knives?”
Yes, it is a linerlock, assisted opening knife with black aluminum handles and a partly black coated 440stainless steel clip point style blade with steel liners. You will need to resharpen more frequently with this steel, but if you can sharpen it should be no problem. The knife comes in a plain edge style, and is tip down only for carry. The pocket clip is not coated and does allow the knife to ride low in the pocket. I would have preferred a black pocket clip, but it is stainless steel. Also would have preferred a slightly smaller pocket clip, but those are small problems for what is just a fun knife.
When closed the blade centering on this knife is perfect as is the lockup. Overall the appearance of this knife is quite striking. There is even…

So, how do you put back enough cheeseburgers, toaster goodies, Twinkies, or bags of chips to survive the zombie apocalypse? Maybe we should change our paradigm and start thinking of how to live on less, produce our own food, protect our supplies from marauders, and hopefully have some ability to help others.
First, we need to accept what can happen in our ‘just in time’ delivery world. Once you realize that when TSHTF, it will be worse that you ever imagined, even as a prepper, then you need to get past the f ear mongering and start making viable plans to survive, and help others…

Darn It Ruger, Why Now?
Apparently while my world was under water (OK, only partially underwater) Ruger made an announcement; they released a Ruger American Rifle Ranch Model (say that three times fast) chambered in 7.62×39 (link).
Like the other Ranch Models it features a picatinny rail and a short (16 inch) barrel that comes threaded from the factory for mounting either a suppressor or muzzle device. Like the other Ruger American rifles it features a polymer stock and free floated barrel. For the really cool part, this rifle uses the same magazines as Ruger’s Mini-30 so magazines can be had in 5, 10 and 20 rounds sizes.
I’m looking at tens of thousands of dollars for repairs on the house but I really want one of these little rifles!

Avoiding The Kaboom
One of the concerns I had when adding a 300 Blackout upper to my inventory of firearms was the possibility of a kaboom. Since the 300 and 5.56 rounds are so closely related and use so many of the same components it is possible that a round will enter into the chamber far enough that it is able to be fired resulting in some rather unpleasant results for the AR and, potentially, for the shooter.
The safest way to ensure this doesn’t happen is to only bring one or the other to the range on any given day. I plan on following this rule as much as possible but even with this approach there is still some chance of a mismatch. As a secondary measure many companies make and sell bands and other markers for magazines that help flag possible mistakes. These are a bit pricey ($10 a pop) and…

Are You Resident, Or Are You Community?

Perhaps that title should read “are you ‘a’ resident, etc. But I chose it like it is. The national evolution to active neighbourhood watches, citizen patrols, Community Police Forum cooperation and general civilian mobilisation in the last five to ten years has been to the large part very encouraging. For many, many years the last word in “neighbourhood watch” was some retired dude with a chrome .38 in a Toyota Corolla and some faded yellow and black signs on random street corners mostly concealed with bougainvillea. In the early 80’s Citizen Band radio had a short spurt of community networking where good buddies in Cortinas with K-40 aerials spotted road blocks, cars broken down, damsels in distress, and one incident I remember reading in CB magazine, a guy was talked through open heart surgery with an Okapi and half a pack of wet-wipes.

Some facts about CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY
Have a decent holster
Police responded to the scene and determined that a person who had a valid concealed firearms carry permit was seated in the theater and had accidentally dropped his firearm to the floor and retrieved and re-holstered it.
http://wfla.com/2015/09/07/tampa-police-respond-to-call-about-person-with-gun-at-movie-theater/
I have no idea what kind of holster this man had. What is clear is that the holster didn’t perform a primary function, to wit: keeping the gun in place. Who knows, it might even have been the crappy holster that inspired my Scam artists in the firearms community post.
Keep in mind that when carrying a gun in public, eventually you will probably sit down. Make sure your holster doesn’t rely solely on gravity to retain the gun. When you sit or slouch, that’s going to stop working. Either a retention system or being fitted to the specific handgun is important.

My testing continues with my Henry carbine in 45 Colt and I have found out that it likes the Sierra Bullets #8830 300gr Sports Master JSP. I was hoping to catch one and show what kind of expansion it gives and it took some doing but I finally did.
The bullet to the left weighs 288.84 grains and the fragments weigh in at 11.04 grains for a total of 299.88 grains from a 300gr start. This was made with an impact velocity of 1,604fps and it went through 54 inches of water just to bounce off of the large blue barrel I had placed behind everything, just in case (and thank goodness I did). With this kind of performance, it should break bones easily and still keep going. It could easily be put to other applications where maximum penetration is required…

What you are left with, is essentially a Colt Walker in semi-auto .70 caliber at 12 gauge.

The ABA, whose primary purpose is to set academic standards for law schools and propose codes of ethics for lawyers, has never been too fond of the Second Amendment. As early as 1965, the ABA favored restrictive gun control. What is surprising about this resolution, though, is the lack of attention paid to the due process rights of gun owners. In its resolution, the ABA explicitly endorses issuing GVROs ex parte, meaning the constitutional rights of the accused could be stripped without the opportunity to defend himself in court.

They are light weight, and inexpensive so each person in your group can have and carry at least two. I see these as reserve items.

Price Gouging in Emergencies
Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized
Re-Posted Sep 11, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
There are a lot of people claiming that price gouging should be criminal. What they fail to take into consideration is that price gouging is the only way to really allocate resources. The critics will claim that this is people taking advantage of others. However, gasoline prices were fixed and what happened was that everyone ran out and filled their cars just to have it and really did not use it. Those who wanted to leave couldn’t because there was no gasoline. I myself could not buy gasoline. I had a quarter tank and it was enough to get me to the airport only. So many others could not leave and many who tried ran out of gas and were stranded.
Had gasoline prices been allowed to rise, then those who were just hoarding gasoline would have thought twice…

An improvised pipe shotgun
An example of a criminally used improvised 12 gauge pipe shotgun. The front tube houses the barrel while the rear tube contains a spring and a striker which is pulled to the rear and released to fire. A bolt attached to the front of the rear piece allows the gun to be locked and unlocked in a bayonet type fashion for loading and unloading.

Just like all of you, I get irritated by certain things. Most of the times I am pretty proud of myself, and I ignore it or leave the situation without saying a word. On occasion I allow my impulsive nature to get the better of me, and I just cannot help being sarcastic or, if the situation is one where I sense the person is genuinely seeking knowledge, providing my opinion. I always ask permission before I do that, though.

U.S. Virgin Islands Authorizes to Seize All Guns Due to Hurricane
Armstrong Economics Blog/Nature
Re-Posted Sep 7, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
The U.S. Virgin Islands Governor Kenneth Mapp of the Virgin Islands has just issued an order allowing the National Guard and the local government to seize any privately owned guns, ammunition and private property necessary to protect the island due to Hurricane Irma. Of course, there is no definition of what may constitute property that is necessary to “protect” the island.
The National Guard is not considered to be military by definition so there is no argument that he is authorizing a military takeover. I am assuming that is because the National Guard are regarded as a state agency, but they get 99% of their annual budget from the Federal Government and the patches on their uniforms say U. S. Army, not National Guard. This gives many a reason not to register their guns and ammunition with your local government.

CZ versus Glock – Why the Internet Exists

If you haven’t sat glued to your screen watching this debate play out over social media before then you clearly don’t spend much time on firearm groups – and that’s ok. You see the same debate has raged over the braai, in the living room or even on the golf course. Yes it is that contentious and if you haven’t been party or an observer to it – don’t worry, it’s sure to come sooner or later.

Bog River Flow to Oswagatchie Traverse – Adirondack Canoe/Hammock Camp
Got my friend Ron to join me on a canoe camping trip in the Adirondacks. This time we tackled the Oswagatchie Traverse.
We dropped my keys off 9am with Anne at Raquette River Outfitters and signed paperwork for them to shuttle the vehicle from Low’s Lower Dam to Inlet.
After admiring the beautiful shop of gear n goodies and fleet of boats we drove the 20 minutes past the free sites along the south shore of Horseshoe Lake and on to Lows Lower Dam to begin the paddle on Bog River Flow.
The flow meanders for 3 beautiful miles or an hour or so through curves where one must watch the current to stay out of the slow go zone of aquatic vegetation.
It works its way to Hitchens Pond where a juvenile bald eagle squawked at us as if to proclaim ownership over the pond. At the…

Lethal versus Less-Lethal – Which is Appropriate?
By Harold F. Callahan
Minimum Force. If any two words have caused more headaches in my life those come above “Election Duties”, “Monday morning” and even “double rum”. I have always had a little chuckle when, in the middle of being lectured about law by the most irritating person in the bar, he starts on about when HE was in the army they still used the all magical and powerful R-1. But his was actually an Eff-Enn, which made him somewhat more superior than all the other okes who didn’t get to go to the border. Like it was some sort of national secret, he says the reason THEY had THEIR Arr-wunns taken away and issued with “those” Arr-foors was because the Arr-foor was like less powerful and therefore commensurate with Minimum Force. Sorry, if you heard me grumble “bullshit” you’ll have to blame it on my Catholic upbringing. As…

More Guns, Less Crime: Does the Lott Model Work in South Africa?
Way back in October 2000, a gentleman by the name of Dr. Richard Wesson wrote a research paper placing the conclusions of Prof. John Lott’s More Guns, Less Crime in a South African context. This is an incredibly important piece of academic work, and I was saddened and disappointed about only recently learning of its existence, nearly 18 years later. None the less, this body of work remains completely relevant, and it is a highly important read for all South Africans who care about their constitutional Right to Life. It is presented here in full, with the document attached at the bottom in Word format.
