Preparedness Notes for Monday — November 7, 2022
November 7th is the anniversary of the death of actor Steve McQueen (born March 24, 1930, died November 7, 1980). The many well-publicized exploits in his tempestuous life and his enduring persona are well known. However, the end of his life is actually the most noteworthy part of his legacy, even though it seldom gets much publicity outside of Christian circles; he came to Jesus after he had been diagnosed with mesothelioma. He died with his forefinger pointing to his key verse in his Bible, Titus 1:2. — Our sale on all of our shootable replica black powder revolvers at …

Unfortunately, if I don’t have a firearm actually in my hands to test, I won’t write about it. (Unlike some gun writers who sometimes work from press releases.) Over the past 30+ years, I’ve tested quite a few multi-tools for articles, some very well-made and others that weren’t …

The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
