Street Combat – This Ain’t No Game! – Part 9 of 9, by Pat Cascio

Chapter Seven Threats in the Future…Today? Some so-called “experts” believe that future threats to our safety and well-being will come from our children. In a manner of speaking, they are correct in their assumptions. However, you need only watch the evening news to see that the future has already arrived. Read on. Los Angeles, California District Attorney, Gil Garcetti, probably best summed it up when he said, “My God, this could happen to me . . . What is going on here?” Garcetti was in a news conference describing what was being called the “Wrong Way Shooting” of an innocent, …


Letter Re: Becoming A Warrior At Gunsite Academy, by J.H.

Hugh, There is no way a civilian can develop the proper mindset, skills, and base of knowledge required to be considered a “warrior” by attending a class for a weekend or even a week. Please do not misunderstand what I am trying to say. Classes like this can be beneficial to an individual as long as they do not leave the false impression that a warrior has been created. This false belief can lead someone to get hurt if they respond with inflated confidence during an actual life-threatening situation. There is no way to become a warrior, unless you make …

Letter: The Coming Global Financial Fiasco

Mr. Latimer, Lately it’s becoming quite clear that the global financial system has passed the point of no return and is essentially doomed. My question now is, when the system begins its meltdown, those who will be able to get their money out before it’s all lost will no doubt be putting that money into hard assets as fast as they can. This of course will cause gold and silver to skyrocket. So here’s the question, should I sell my gold and silver at these fantastically high prices and receive a lot of paper money, which may become worthless due …

Letter: Investment Question

HJL/JWR, This is a long time reader here with a question you likely get often. I realize the following is an overly simplistic question, given the enormous complexities of an individual’s financial and preparedness state, but I’m hoping for a relatively simplistic answer. Assume you were approached by a debt-free individual and handed anywhere from $5-15k. You are told it is “extra’ money and asked to invest it in something tangible. What would you be inclined to spend it on, assuming they had the basics (beans/bullets/bandaids) covered? Would it be precious metals, redundant equipment, or something else? Or perhaps you’d …
