Reporter's Home raided by Armed Thugs, I mean Police

Maryland State Police (SWAT/HIT Team) raided the home of Audrey Hudson, a freelance reporter. They confiscated confidential documents.

This is what the search warrant was for:
"A copy of the search warrant shows law enforcement officials were cleared to search her home for firearms, according to the Daily Caller. Hudson’s husband, Paul Flanagan, was found guilty in 1986 of resisting arrest and is forbidden by law from owning or possessing a firearm, explaining why the raid allowed authorities to search their shared property for firearms."



Yes, you read that correctly.



"Hudson said an investigator with the Coast Guard’s Investigative Service identified her as the reporter responsible for writing a series of articles critical of air marshals for The Washington Times newspaper." (emphasis added)


Sadly for the police, no firearms were found and no one was murdered. But confidential documents were taken.



North Korea called. It wants it's dictatorship back.




Here is the original story.

Puppycide - The Documentary

When I first read the title, I thought it was a joke. But i read the article on Western Rifle Shooters Association and knew I had to share this.

It would be impossible for me to not take action against a cop who shot my dog. Absolutely impossible.


Go to Kickstarter and support the documentary if you're able to.

$60.00 Blemished Stripped Lower

If you can find a FFL that won't charge you a ton for a transfer fee, check these out.

This is a great deal for a stripped lower. The 80% lowers (when in stock) are around $120.

It's about 5-7 days until they ship. PSA has great deals.

Here we go again...

Another school shooting...

This is sad. Grossman said he feared terrorists would begin targeting our schools since they are soft targets with little to no security. He said floor plans for some schools in the Midwest were found in terrorist strongholds in Iraq and Afghanistan. All the more reason to home school.

It does not appear that the shooter has been identified. 

Painting your rifle

I know many people are apprehensive to paint their rifle(s). If you have a black AR15 style rifle, you should considering doing so. In the woods, that black rifle will stick out like a sore thumb. A poorly painted rifle will blend better than a black rifle.

There are plenty of how-to videos on YouTube for painting a rifle.

I reluctantly painted mine. The great thing about going cheap on painting is that you can change your paint scheme whenever you feel like it. Once I made the decision to paint it, this is how I did it.

Materials:

3-4 cans of Rustoleum "Camouflage" line spray paint. Khaki, Deep Forest, Army Green, and Earth Brown.

1 can Gun Scrubber 

1 can of Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter. 

1 can Krylon Matte Finish 

1 Del-Ton Sierra 316H rifle.

Cost of paint materials: about $25.00

Paint and matte finish came from Wal-Mart

Adhesion promoter came from Advance Auto Parts

Process:

In a well ventilated area I liberally sprayed my rifle down with the gun scrubber. Using the pressurized spray makes this much easier. I let the gun dry then sprayed it down a final time letting it dry afterwards until it was dry to the touch. 

I closed the dust cover to the bolt and packed the mag well with paper towels.

I then sprayed the rifle with the adhesion promoter which you can get at any auto parts store and let it dry.

Next I sprayed the rifle with the khaki color until I had a good coat. I used the khaki as a primer/base color. This was done to allow the OD green and the brown to take to the rifle better.

Then came the OD green followed with stripes of brown.

Now, I did get a little splatter from the paint because of some wind. I honestly don't care. I originally had more a khaki color as the base and then used a mesh onion bag to add depth with green and brown. That color scheme did not blend so well in North Florida, so I changed it.

Finally, I sprayed the rifle with the matte finish to seal it. It works. The paint is less likely to chip. It isn't really necessary though as it takes a quick spray to touch up anything that may have chipped. 

The whole process took about an hour. 

Lastly, you will want to let this air dry for a few hours. Ideally, you have a fan to speed the process. Unless, you want your room to smell like spray paint, this is a must. 

I have added some photos of the final product below. If I don't think this looks cool next month, I'll change it. After all, looking cool is what matters, right?

Max Velocity Training Opportunities - Upcoming in December

Check out his new training opportunities here.

You will not be disappointed. You will learn alongside fellow patriots. I drove from Florida and will go back next year for another CRCD.

Here is what Max had to say about the December CRCD:

"I've had a few inquiries about scheduling another CRCD class in between the one on Nov 9/10 and the Patrol class on Jan 18 - 20.

I have to deconflict between some personal commitments and also the deer rifle season in Hampshire County, which runs Nov 25 thru Dec 7. Yes, theoretically it should not make a difference but in the spirit of keeping up relationships with the locals I have to be sensitive to this - and one neighbor specifically asked me about deer season. I guess he was not looking forward to trying to hunt while a firefight was going on up on my ranges.....!

I have put December 14/15 on the schedule to run this additional CRCD class. If I meet huge objections and /or no-one books, I'll look at alternatives, but they are limited at that time of year. 

For the main post on the CRCD classes, and to book, look HERE."

Get the training while there is time.

Term Limits

If nothing else, the government "shutdown" shows the need for one thing above all else; term limits.

This leads me to where I think we are headed. I urge all of you to read the fantastic work of fiction by recently departed Vince Flynn entitled Term Limits.

You can purchase it here.

The book takes place during the good ol' days when the national debt was $5 trillion. A group of former SEALs decide to take matters into their own hands and start killing government officials.

Just read it and tell me what you think. A page turning masterpiece in my opinion.

It has begun

Thanks to Idahobob for bringing this to my attention.

The "Welfare War" looks to be kicking off. Hopefully, nothing will happen but come on. We know how these people operate.

They "live on steady diet of government cheese livin' in a van down by the river." - Matt Foley, the great motivational speaker.

Food Stamp Shutdown?

Originally found this on WRSA here.

If this shutdown of the SNAP shutdown is true, be ready. We have heard people threatening to riot if they don't get their EBT money.

We saw what will happen when there is a "glitch" in the system.

We know how many millions are dependent on government. We all probably live near an area that is densely populated with parasites and leeches who will stop at nothing to get "theirs" even though it's really mine and yours, the taxpayers.

Make sure on and around Novemeber 1, you have your gun just in case. Bring extra mags with you to work. This could be the beginning of the collapse.

If you've never heard of Cloward-Piven, read this. It will absolutely make sense of the welfare state.

It's simply a matter of time. We wait until they force us to respond.

October 12/13 Max Velocity Tactical CRCD - AAR

What a weekend! 24 hours round trip from Florida to West Virginia. Was it worth it? Absolutely.



Day 1:

The day started with a safety brief. After the brief, Max outlined the day. the cornerstone to the weekend was RTR.
Return fire
Take Cover
Return Appropriate Fire

Every contact began with the RTR concept.  So learn it well.

The first set of drills were individual on Range #1. Max uses this to gauge your proficiency with a rifle. He also uses this time to make sure you followed the safety brief given at the beginning of the day. Even if you're doing everything right, you will hear "Apply safety catch and finger off the trigger" from Max as a friendly reminder. Max watches over the students very carefully. He expects students to be responsible. After all, we are preparing for SHTF, not a picnic so be serious when it comes to weapon manipulation.

Midway through the first day we began working in a buddy pair. In my case, my buddy was my dad. He was running an AK while I ran my AR. We probably shot around 300-330 rounds a day.

The buddy drills consisted of offensive movement toward an enemy position and breaking contact with an enemy position. Again, RTR was the foundation for every drill.

Remember, the lower you are the better. Also, communication is key. I made the mistake numerous times to simply yell my "moving" reply to the "move" command from my buddy or team leader without looking for them or projecting my voice in that direction. You must yell towards the buddy or team. If you don't project towards your team, you might as well not say anything because it is loud and you must be heard above the noise. It is the key to survival for your team.

We cycled through buddy drills; Contact front, left, and right. Break contact front. Then we worked for a short time on peeling when faced with contact left and right. We finished the day in a 4 man team doing the same drills as we did in buddy pairs.

Keep one thing in mind - Max's drills are simple. That's the beauty of this course.

Day 2:

Day two picked up where day 1 left off except we moved to range #2. Range #2 is much larger and more complex than range 1. That becomes apparent rather quickly when you're out of shape like I am. The day progressed with buddy pair drills and team drills. The distances at which targets were engaged was increased. I think the greatest distance was around 75 meters. The day culminated with a squad attack on a fixed position - the bunker. This was the best way to illustrate offensive movements on a larger scale. It was quite satisfying knowing we killed Ivan.


What Did I Learn?

A bunch.

1. I am woefully unfit. This became apparent on range #2. Thankfully, that is going to change. I have begun setting goals for becoming an asset to my group rather than a liability.
2. Single point slings are very good at allowing the muzzle of my rifle to fill with mud. It was better to un-clip the sling to maneuver with the rifle during drills.
3. It pays to have a handgun ready to go. During a drill, the muzzle of my rifle filled with mud and I had to transition to my handgun and engage the target to provide cover for my buddy while he fixed his stoppage.
4. I got better about putting spent mags in my dump pouch as the weekend progressed. So work on that.
5. You can actually load 31 rounds of 5.56 in both PMAGs and aluminum mags causing them to not seat properly. It pays to count.
6. I had to change my super cool gear set-up because it was not as functional as I wanted. But my gear does work very well. My rifle ran flawlessly. I couldn't have been happier with it. My optic though bit the dust. I guess that's a good enough excuse to spend money on a better piece of equipment.
7. Communicate
8. PT PT PT PT



The course was full. 12 students total. Our backgrounds ranged from sales to IT and from truck driver to former military and even a couple government workers. Read his books to get a jump start on the concepts.

Patriot Dawn : The Resistance Rises 

Contact! A Tactical manual for Post Collapse Survival




It was great to be together with like-minded patriots training for the eventual collapse of our once great nation. It will be our duty to restore the Republic when that time comes. Max is the man to prepare you for such a time.

I will be back for another course once I drop weight. The middle of next year is what I'm shooting for.

Max - Thank you for all of your time and devotion. You ability to communicate tactics and relay constructive criticism after each drill was greatly appreciated. You always gave us something to improve upon.

 See you again soon.

Florida Cop taken to Federal Court

In my home state, there are calls to do more to protect citizens from cops like this guy. In 2011, the State Legislature passed a bill that protected concealed carry permit holders from inadvertent, non-threatening exposure of their firearm.  For example, you're carrying outside-the-waistband but have a cover garment like a sports coat or jacket. The wind blows your coat open and your firearm is exposed for all to see. In Florida, you have committed no crime. It was simply an accident and chalked-up as an accident. No harm, no foul.

Well, for the man in this article, it might as well have been attempted murder of a police officer. The cop actually threatens to shoot him in the back. What a tough guy.

Here's the link to the article and video.


More needs to be done to reign-in these cops. More has to be done for the sake of our liberty.
