He was the friend and mentor of SurvivalBlog’s Senior Field Gear Editor, Pat Cascio. o o o The recent frantic increase in gun sales in the United States is well justified.

Odds ‘n Sods:

Court lets stand law banning some semi-automatic assault weapons. This is not good news folks. This is what we can expect when they pass a national “assault weapons” ban, and hi-cap mag ban; the Supreme Court will let it stand if challenged! – Pat Cascio o o o Because “You never know.” US Army Technical Manual 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook – dated 1969.
