  1. My best advice for BE is to carry everything you are allowed to all the time in those restricted areas, even if it might be difficult to access. You never know what time or opportunity you will have to deploy, so having it is better than not. My experience has demonstrates that my first grab in a crisis situation is field expedient, like something on my desk or on my nightstand (coffee mug, flashlight, lamp, book, shoe, umbrella etc). In a mobile crisis, depending on locus to threat, it is either fists and feet, or flee first. Drawing a weapon almost always comes with thought. In general, in the few times I’ve had to, my instinct always goes for a draw on something I have on me at the time. The biggest factor in that is what threat level (Coopers Situational Awareness Index) your mind is operating under. Anytime I am not at home, I am in level Orange. I am Yellow at home and awake, and white when sleeping at home. If you are at level Orange, you will be aware of what weapons you are carrying and be ready to deploy them.

    At level Orange, when I am walking around in our office area at work, I will be ready to draw and defend every time I approach a corner or a door, and I know when someone is approaching my cubicle even if I can’t see them. At meetings I am regularly scanning the audience to see how everyone is behaving. Just learned behavior I guess.

    1. Thank you. I do carry my neck knife every day, despite the tucked shirt. It’s more that I focus on the quicker-access options. And as a man with a coffee habit, the large metal Thermos on my desk ought to serve as a good bludgeon.

  2. B.E. ~ there is no magic answer. Consistency and practice, Consistency and practice, Consistency and practice. The need for Mental Muscle Memory (3M) comes way before the need to act under stress. Lastly, if the areas you’re essentially unarmed are usually the same, use that to your advantage. Mentally note the most obvious areas of vulnerability and possible items, paths & scenarios which you could use to your advantage. And by the way, I also may mention –
    Consistency and practice. LuvYerBro

  3. Re. Turkey This is the same CRF traitor John Bolton who pushed America into Iraq. 4,563 Americans have lost their lives so far and Bolton and yet still has “NO REGRETS”. That’s evil in my book. Different White House same Swamp Creatures.

  4. William Barr, that is something not known that he was the head guy during Ruby Ridge, so what we have here is another fox guarding the hen house, so to speak. No wonder Nancy Polise said off camera that he’ll have an easy time getting ok’ed for A.G. ( Just another closet Liberal )

    1. Another scaly swamp creature, like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. I wish Trump had advisers capable of picking someone who is not one of those foul, evil Neocons. The same creatures from the same stinking, polluted, corrupt swamp that bred Nazi Pelosi and Schmucky Schumer.

      Herd all these folks back into D.C., then BUILD THAT WALL around that 10 miles square.

  5. Ironically, I just spoke of Brexit less than 30 minutes ago with a British businessman who is currently in the U.S. for a week. He said there is massive confusion within the public citizenry, and everyone (not only housewives, but small business owners as well) is stocking up with 2 to 4 weeks of food and sundries in anticipation of delivery shortages. He said he personally knows a pharmacist who put in larger-than-usual orders to his suppliers a while ago so as to stockpile a few months’ worth of drugs, especially the critical ones.

    The tabloids are highlighting “British mums” taking the brave step of stockpiling two weeks of food. I smiled at the businessman and told him there’s an entire community that considers two MONTHS’ worth “a nice start”.

    I chose not to broach the issue of ammo stockpiling. I have family in the UK, and the Brits generally consider 1000 rounds to be an “arsenal”. He would have freaked out at how much ammo I have in my inventory, let alone how much some fellow Survivalbloggers must have. 🙂

  6. Who knew that President Trump would be so bad in picking qualified people for his administration.

    I had heard prior to his election, Trump picked the best of the best to get the jobs he needed done.

    It’s obvious now, President Trump’s selections are not the best but the very worst one could pick.

      1. That’s why these people are fired. If you know anything about Trump or his best selling book, The Art of The Deal… you’ll know the two cardinals rules to success..

        1) Remove (fire) all negative naysayers
        2) Be around people who have gone where you want to go in life

        A cardinal rule is above a plain old rule.

  7. RE: US support of the Kurds against ISIS.
    There are so many thngs wrong here I don’t know where to begin. Maybe that we created the entire ISIS threat ourselves in order to justify our invasion of sovereign nations? That thousands of patriotic Americans have been duped into surrendering their family members to this insanity? That despite killing God-only-knows how many people in their homeland we are no closer to solving anything?
    There are a lot of people that need to answer to God for their actions, preferably sooner rather than later.
    I was one of those caught up in the hoopla after 9/11, I admit I made a bad decision to support a war with no endpoint and no real goals.

    1. What’s insanity is that there are more people killed on either side of the unsecured border than by guns per annum.

      The Libtards seem to pitch gun control (Senator Gillibrand from New York) at every press conference but fail to mention an insecure US border is killing more people than guns.

      Insanity!

  9. To BE: Live to fight another day: realize bad guy(s) WILL be carrying, even if you are not. A worry about legalities, when you will be hurt or killed because you are NOT armed by dicta and choice, is chasing the wind. Either embrace the suck, or carry regardless. If you stay legal, you can still be quite dead. And, you can lose a fight, even if armed. Choose life! Accept all the risks. You get to go home instead of a morgue; you may end up fired; but if you ever need “it” and “it’s” not there, then neither will you be. Practice daily and often; but be prepared. Or not.
