J.H.B. sent us the link to this update at the Gun Owners of America (GOA) web site: Firearms Legislation in the 111th Congress [1]. (a good page to bookmark.) Readers should note that H.R. 45 currently has little support (it is not gathering co-sponsors) so at least for the present time please don’t expend too much time organizing and letter writing about this bill.

The WRSA [3] has announced a couple of more sessions of their excellent “Grid Down” Medical course, in Peyton, Colorado [4], and Clackamas, Oregon [5]. Not only is it excellent training, but you are also very likely to meet fellow SurvivalBlog readers. (Wear your SurvivalBlog hat or T-shirt! [6])

My friend Bob in Tennessee sent this article from Jihad Watch: 35 Jihad Training Compounds on American Soil [7]. Not only is the terrorist threat significant in itself, but so is the possibility of government reaction casting a wide net, perhaps making anyone doing tactical training out in the woods a “terrorist”, and possibly arrested for “paramilitary activities.”
