Colt Defense Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection [1]
JWR’s Comment: When you take this news in the context of the recent post-scare dip in gun prices, we are clearly in a “Buyer’s Market.” Now is a good time to stockpile some stripped AR-15 lower receivers, especially if you can purchase any from private parties at gun shows, sans papiere. It might also be worthwhile to buy a Colt-made M4 as an investment piece, if you can find one of the Law Enforcement-marked Colts (such as the LE6920 / LE6921 / LE6940) [2] that has BOTH takedown pins. (Rather than the “Sporter” monstrosities that have screws in place of the proper front pivot pins.)

Swimming in a Pond Is Now a Trendy “Thing [8]”
GOOD GRIEF!!! The so-called developed world seems to be made up of way too many namby pamby people who are sheltered from reality and FUN! No wonder a prolonged grid down scenario will result in probably 95% of the population gone within a few weeks! They do NOT know how to fend for themselves and live off the land; they have no really USEFUL skills! I can remember swimming in almost any pond, and even a stream after a torrential downpour! We were sharing the water with turtles and snakes as well as minnows and whatever! – H.L.
