Detention: THE TRAFFIC STOP (continued) What if the officer pulls you over and sees a shotgun on the seat beside you? Assuming your state of residence does not allow the transport of long guns in this manner and what you are doing is illegal, then the officer has the right to search for more loaded guns. Keep in mind that he now can only search for places that might house an object the size of a long gun. Searching for objects the size of a pistol would also be reasonable under the circumstances. What would NOT be reasonable is searching …
HJL, A couple of years ago I went through the process of trying to find reliable strike-anywhere matches as Odds-n-Sods on Monday. As the writer in the linked article at http://kissurvival.com/strike-anywhere-matches/ I rejected the Diamond Green Tip (absolute trash!) and Redbird. I considered the Penley brand that he finally recommends, but after reading reviews on Amazon and other sites decided to look for something better. After some research, I settled on the excellent strike-anywhere matches made by UCO– the same people who make splendid stormproof matches. I could not find a local retailer for the strike-anywhere, but you can buy …

All of veteran’s guns seized after false allegation. – H.L. o o o Cops in this Small Town have 35,000 Open Arrest Warrants, That’s 26 Warrants per Citizen! HJL Adds: One of the most disturbing things about these revenue generating schemes is that it is law enforcement officers that are tasked with executing these arrest warrants. This means that if a “misunderstanding” occurs, they are likely to have escalated force, up to and including deadly force, used to enforce the warrants. It is entirely possible that people will be jailed, beaten, and possibly killed over “victim-less” crimes designed to generate …
“Louie was furious at the sharks. He had thought that they had an understanding:The men would stay out of the sharks’ turf – the water – and the sharks would stay off of theirs – the raft. That the sharks had taken shots at him when he had gone overboard, and when the raft had been mostly submerged after the strafing, had seemed fair enough. But their attempt to poach men from their reinflated raft struck Louie as dirty pool. He stewed all night, scowled hatefully at the sharks all day, and eventually made a decision. if the sharks were …

DEALING WITH THE COPS (continued) Before we go into the details of most police encounters, keep one rule in mind: You never need to talk to police for any reason. There is no legal mechanism that compels you to answer questions, testify, or provide verbal evidence about yourself or any activities you may have been involved in! Therefore, Rule 1: Never talk to cops! Of course, like with any rules, there are certain provisos: “Never talk to cops” means to not offer up information or evidence. It does not mean sit there and remain a mute, or fail to respond …
Hugh, I appreciate L.M.’s recognition of charity. Early in my prepping life I read the posed scenario of a young woman approaching your door with a crying child. Opening it to hand out some food could earn you a round in the head, from the shooter in her team set up 300 yards away. Thus, I have a “barter box” of last-generation prep gear, mixed with energy bars and half rolls of toilet paper. The contents are tightly bundled in Target supermarket bags and suitable for throwing over the house to a location 30 yards up the street. This alters …
