I think that'll be the time when we all "go dark"! LOL

@hipower Thanks again for the suggestion. I'm reading book #1 now and just ordered the next 2 in the series. It's an interesting (to me) topic as I helped our facility set up our "Ebola Cart" a few years back...that's some seriously scary s**t! I receive daily CDC updates, part of the job. But it's not a bad idea to keep an eye on what's going on in the world... but nothing to date about a zombie mutant virus!

I find it handy to have a few cases of MRE's around. Post Katrina they allowed me a few days to cut trees off my house and square away other priority tasks before concentrating on cooking. MRE's are a far cry better than the C-Rats we had when I served. MRE's are gourmet food by comparison. While it's been a number of years since I've used the below linked site, I had positive experiences with MRE Depot, and they are a decent information source. But darn...those things have gone up in price! https://www.mredepot.com/default.asp https://www.mredepot.com/MRE-Menu-C-p/mc1213.htm I keep some of those Mainstay SOS or Lifeboat rations in my GHB. They serve a niche purpose, not something I'd want to eat daily. But they are a compact and lightweight calorie source. Water and freeze dried food. Well, a person needs a way to purify water anyway. We have a Berkey in home and I have a Berkey Sport and a Life Straw in my GHB. I've eaten the Mountain House straight out of the bag, not tasty and darn salty, but tolerable.

Good shoot! Like peejman said, the officer obviously knows his weapon and it's capabilities and patterning.

Outstanding gentlemen! Excellent program and the quality of both content and production was top notch! More please.

I posted this on SN a few minutes ago. I downloaded the podcast from the original link presented this morning and listened to it. Simply outstanding gentlemen! Everyone of you should be commended, but especially TGO David. It's hard to believe this is an inaugural podcast! It was incredibly well executed, edited, and presented. The content, opinions and experiences were educational and beneficial. Well done folks! Can't wait for the next one. Jamie

Maybe not yet, but all in time. These things are cyclical in nature and have reoccurred many times in my life. I think, as was mentioned in another thread, most of us have learned from past experiences.I certainly hope so. But another "panic buying" period is inevitable.

Thanks for all of the suggestions folks. I'm watching for the UPS (Amazon) delivery truck as I type this.

Thank you Martin. I'll check it out.

Thank you! I just ordered book 1 of the series.

Me as well. I just finished the last 2 A.American books (vol 8 & 9). They're decent, and I'm invested in the series so there's that. Anybody still reading P.A.W. fiction? Any recommendations?

That's excellent David. And it does take a lot of guts to put yourself out there like that. Many props to you Sir! I have no doubt that this will be a success and a benefit to those who are already members of our "Gun Culture" and those entering it. Well Done David! Jamie

I'm in as well. Great idea.

Yep, they are... Gordon and several others warned this was coming. It doesn't take much to open that gate. Prayers remain for the lives lost, but Prayers also to save our God Given Rights. There are far too many intentions in the current "Unintended Consequences" for my liking.

LOL. I think we are talking about two completely different personality types here. I too read the murderer worked minimum wage. I guess he just managed his money well. that's a wink and a nod sarcasm, no disrespect intended to anyone

Makes you wonder doesn't it? My wife asked me a couple of days ago how much an AR was selling for and how could this kid afford one? He obviously had more expendable income than I do!

That's an interesting concept. I would imagine that pocket carry (in a holster) would not easily activate the device. I've carried my S&W 640 since I purchased it in '92 and shoot it on regular intervals. I have a "Hip Grip" and Tyler T-piece on it and find it pretty controllable. But I wouldn't be adverse to trying this out on another snubbie.

Excellent! Love the music as well. Great sound quality too. Sound quality is something lacking on way too nay podcasts imho. I am so looking forward to this David!

Thank you Brother. It is a struggle, but well worth the effort.

Excellent recommendations. She may find some of her questions at Kathy Jackson's Blog, "The Cornered Cat". MS. Jackson is very knowledgeable well respected in the industry. https://www.corneredcat.com/article/practical-issues/concealed-carry-for-the-fashionable-woman/ When I helped friends I work with (a couple) in their indoctrination phase we provided quite a few different handguns and didn't try and influence them towards anything in particular. He and she initially choose Glock 19's but eventually gravitated towards a 9mm Shield for her and a G 43 for him.

Welcome aboard Mr.Mildot and hope you can make that move to TN. I read your recent generous offer and exchange with hipower. "Gun Folks" are the best, no matter where we may find ourselves. I look forward to reading your contributions Sir.

I did notice that there are slightly protruding "wings" at the rear of the slide for better purchase for those that slingshot the slide to rack it...at least I make that assumption. This is copied from the G&A article I linked above: The “EZ” in the M&P 380 Shield’s model name indicates that this is easy to rack — very easy. That’s partly because it is a pistol with an internal hammer system. Just because it has a hammer system doesn’t translate to a slide that’s easier to make ready. We found that the hammer assembly was positioned lower into the frame, so the slide has more leverage on cocking the internal hammer. When the slide must cock a hammer with a pivot point that’s positioned higher to the slide’s base, more force is required to overcome the mainspring’s resistance to the hammer being cocked. (Very clever.) Read more: http://www.gunsandammo.com/first-look/first-look-easy-to-rack-sw-mp-380-shield/#ixzz56Ppu3vkR

I'd stick with my G19 since it's been my primary for better than 20 years now. Rather than complacency I believe my familiarity has instilled confidence in my 19.

Here's a link to a Guns & Ammo article on the new EZ. The article mentions that the grip safety pivots from the bottom and disengages an internal hammer block. That's different anyway... Interesting concept and design for those in need. It'll certainly appeal to a certain demographic. http://www.gunsandammo.com/first-look/first-look-easy-to-rack-sw-mp-380-shield/

I just saw this, and it's been a few years... Is that Mrs. Farnam (Vickie) as well? Marty Hayes? Claude Werner? I'm certain someone will correct me. Mr. Givens has a shinier head anyway LOL. Just kidding. You keep excellent company Sir.
