1. In each of his gunfights, the bad guy already had a gun in his hand, proving that your action can beat the bad guy’s reaction … so be decisive in your action and make your first shot count!
2. Mindset and training trump equipment… Front Sight’s motto is “Any gun with do, if YOU will do.” Yes, some guns are better than others, but remember it is the man or woman who does the fighting, not the gun — and this man can fight!
3. Having a gun in close proximity to you is not as good as having a holstered gun on your person, with the ability (through training) to present it quickly and shoot it accurately.
4. Just because you get shot, does not mean you die. Even if you get shot, stay in the fight and finish your opponent!
5. Make your decision now on what you are willing to kill or die for, so that when the time comes there is no indecision in your mind.
6. Winning a gunfight when you are outnumbered or when your opponent already has a gun pointed at you is not just luck. It takes proper mindset, training, and practice to win time and time again… as this warrior demonstrates.

Good luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Bad luck is when lack of preparation meets adversity.

Make your own “good luck” by being prepared.

Secret Homeland Security Threat Assessment Labels Gun Owners Potential Terrorists

Intelligence document says extremist radicals “stockpiling” weapons and ammunition in fear of Obama gun ban

A Department of Homeland Security intelligence assessment equates gun owners with violent terrorists and states that radical extremists are “stockpiling” weapons in fear of an Obama administration gun ban.

This newly uncovered document is just the latest in a long sordid line of training manuals in which the federal government characterizes millions of American citizens as potentially violent terrorists who are a threat to law enforcement.

The document is entitled Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment (PDF link) and was released just a few days ago. The paper is labeled Law Enforcement Sensitive and states, “No portion of the LES information should be released to the media, the general public, or over non-secure Internet servers. Release of this information could adversely affect or jeopardize investigative activities.”

However, probably as a result of a concerned whistleblower, the secret document has been leaked to the Internet. Alex Jones called the numbers listed on the document and validated its authenticity. He contacted the “watch captain” at the Department of Homeland Security’s National Infrastructure Coordinating Center who confirmed the product number on the document as legitimate but would not comment further. A call to the FBI went unanswered.

The document states that the election of an African-American president and the economic downturn have acted as “unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment,” adding that, “The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms….could lead to the emergence of terrorist groups….capable of carrying out violent attacks.”

The DHS is essentially claiming that people who are concerned about the Obama administration’s plans to curtail the second amendment, and by extension anyone who owns guns or who has purchased guns in response to such a scenario, is a potential violent terrorist.

The bulk purchasing of ammunition is labeled “stockpiling” and “hoarding” to create the myth that people who buy bullets are storing them for some kind of violent revolutionary attack. The document also claims that people who buy guns and ammunition are also rightwing extremists engaged in “paramilitary training,” a bizarre claim backed up with no evidence whatsoever.

The document then discusses past and current gun legislation with the implication that anyone who vehemently opposes attacks on the second amendment right to bear arms is a potential terrorist, or at best a “rightwing extremist”.

Expressing concern about concentration camps, illegal immigration, the economy and martial law is also characterized by implication as a potential indication of terrorist activity.

In the classic guilt-by-association method with which we are all too familiar, the threat assessment then links such people with the Oklahoma City bombing, Timothy McVeigh, pipe bombers, and right-wing extremist groups, despite the fact that such groups were found to have been controlled by the feds themselves all along.

The document also mentions the Pittsburgh cop killer, Richard Poplawski, who murdered three police officers after they came to his mother’s house in response to a domestic disturbance related to Poplawski’s dog urinating on the floor. But according to the DHS, the incident did not represent a mundane but tragic domestic dispute gone horribly wrong, but a potential indication of the “rise in rightwing extremism”.

The DHS then throws in “anti-government conspiracy theories” and concerns about a “one world government” as another potential breeding ground for violent terrorists. Indeed, the document characterizes concerns about the economy, unemployment, the loss of U.S. sovereignty and the move towards global government as “rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet.”

In reality of course, the economy is in dire straights, jobs are being cut everywhere, and top globalists themselves are openly talking of their agenda to build a world government out of the shredded sovereignty of the U.S. But according to Homeland Security, anyone who talks about that reality could be a potential terrorist.

World Bank President and Bilderberg elitist Robert Zoellick openly admitted the plan to eliminate national sovereignty and impose a global government during a speech on the eve of the G20 summit when he stated, “If leaders are serious about creating new global responsibilities or governance, let them start by modernising multilateralism to empower the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank Group to monitor national policies.”

However, according to the DHS, anyone who expresses concern about Zoellick’s public announcement that U.S. sovereignty is to be sacrificed in return for a global government is a “rightwing extremist” and a potential terrorist killer.

The document concludes by talking about the Internet in the context of being a tool for rightwing terrorists to network, build bombs, and send encrypted messages to each other.

The small print at the bottom of the paper encourages any recipients of the document to “report information concerning suspicious or criminal activity (presumably people expressing concern about the economy, anti-second amendment legislation or the open announcement of a new world order) to DHS and the FBI.

As we have exhaustively documented with the MIAC report and a whole host of others, the federal government apparently has very little concern for any perceived terrorist threat to America coming from the MIddle East or Al-Qaeda cells within the country, and indeed if any such threat existed we are only in more danger, because the feds have been busy training law enforcement that law-abiding American citizens who exercise their legal right to purchase firearms or who exercise their first amendment right to discuss politics, are potential terrorists who want to instigate a violent revolution.

A Tucson homeowner, alerted of an impending home invasion by his home security cameras, arms himself and takes matters into his hands last Thursday when four armed suspects attempt to break into his home.

You see a vehicle pull up, and four men run out. One of them is carrying what appears to be an AR-15 or M-16, a weapon which could be fully automatic.

The robbery happened in broad daylight at a home on West Vande Loo Street. All the action was caught by the homeowners outdoor surveillance system.

The victim was able to get back inside his house, close his door, semi barricade it, reach for a weapon that was easily accessible.

The homeowner shot at the suspects.
He even put a bullet through the windshield of the suspects car, which is also caught on camera.

The four men retreated and took off.
All of them remain on the run.

Sheriff’s officials say the homeowner has surveillance cameras installed all around his house.

Dep. Gieron says, “That was just for his own security.”

People living in the neighborhood heard all the gunshots, and saw the aftermath. Some stray bullets even hit a home across the street.

One man says, “I was asleep around noon Thursday, and heard gunshots.”

Lawrence Cruz lives down the street from where the attempted home invasion happened.

“I am very watchful where we live and I think everybody has right to defend their property,” says Cruz.

Detectives did find the suspect’s vehicle at a home near Cardinal and Valencia, but the four men are still on the run.

One of the suspects has been identified as 23-year-old Jesus Mendivil. It’s believed he was shot in the arm.

The three other men are all described as Hispanic males between 17 and 25-years-old.

• cant – the angle at which your gun is positioned, either forward or backward. Many holsters have adjustable “cant” to allow customizable positioning.
• carry rig – the specific holster in question. Carry rigs can differ significantly in quality between brands, so going with a quality manufacturer is critical.
• printing – the act of revealing the outline of the gun under clothing. Printing can sometimes cause public unrest when they realize you are armed.
• reciprocity – in short, CCW reciprocity is defined as other states that honor your states carry permit. This allows you to legally carry in those specific states.
• retention – the ability for your holster to keep or retain your gun in place. Too little retention can lead to your gun falling out, while too much retention can lead to a difficult draw.
• thumb break – the traditional outside waistband holster retention method. A thumb break is typically a piece of nylon or leather attached with a button/snap to keep the gun secured in the holster. To draw the gun, the thumb break must be released.

• 3 officers were involved in a shooting this week. An ambush was set up for the officers prior to their arrival, they took fire while still in their cruisers. One officer was hit in the forearm, another received wounds to his forehead from a ricochet, another was injured (NFI). The suspect was armed with a .45 handgun. The officers were armed with Glock 22’s (.40S&W) and SPEER 180 gr. Gold Dot Hollow Points.
• Officers fired on the subject and hit him in the left arm, completely shattering the bone. He was also hit five times in the chest and abdomen. All rounds penetrated less than 1″. All of the rounds expanded fully but did not cause incapacitation due to the lack of penetration. According to the Medical Examiner, none of the rounds caused any life threatening injuries. The subject also received one round into the front of his throat, it penetrated less than 1″ as well. The Medical Examiner stated that the recovered rounds were in pristine condition (still had rifling marks on them).
• The subject was wearing a down jacket at the time of the incident. He was finally taken down after receiving rounds from an M-4 .223, with Hornady Tap 55 gr ballistic tip rounds and Hornady Tap 72 gr. Hollow Points.
• The officer with the M-4 was able to shoot underneath a vehicle and hit the suspect in the ankle. The officer then flanked the subject, who continued to engage officers, and was eventually killed by the officer with the M-4.
• The subject had a trace amount of marijuana in his system.
• Range between subject and officers: 20 feet.
• Subject had a t-shirt on under his jacket.
• Subject received approximately sixteen .223 rounds, thirteen of these rounds went completely through. One round struck his hip and completely shattered it. Another .223 round struck his aorta and another pierced and collapsed his lung. Both of these rounds lodged themselves inside the subject. The Medical Examiner stated that the .223 rounds caused massive internal damage.
• This is the second shooting that the PD has experienced where they had to shoot a subject in excess of ten times with .40 S&W ammo to incapacitate or kill. There was another incident where a subject was shot inside of his vehicle. He was struck approximately ten times, all the while continuing to fire at officers. He was eventually killed after suffering a shot to the back of his head.
• In this same incident, the back of the subject’s seat was struck multiple times, the .40 S&W rounds never penetrated through the seat. In this incident, all shots had passed through either the windshield or rear window. Investigators assume that this was the reason for the poor ballistic performance.
• (The) PD is now considering replacing their Glock 22’s (.40S&W) with Glock 21’s (.45ACP).

Two dead, 7 wounded in Tennessee church shooting

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Reuters) – A man opened fire with a shotgun in a church in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Sunday, killing two people, including a man called a hero for shielding others from a shotgun blast, police and local media reported.

Seven others were wounded, four critically, police said.

The gunman was tackled by church-goers and taken into custody by police. He was charged later with first-degree murder, but police declined to give a motive for the shooting and the Tennessean newspaper said his motive remained unknown.

Jim D. Adkisson, 58, of Powell, Tennessee, was being held on a $1 million bond at the Knox County Detention Center, said Randall Kenner, communications coordinator for the city of Knoxville.

The gunman apparently concealed a 12-gauge shotgun until he entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and then fired several shots before being subdued, police said.

Four people were listed in critical condition and one in serious condition at the University of Tennessee Medical Center suffering from gunshot wounds, hospital spokeswoman Becky Thompson said.

One other person was treated for gunshot wounds and released, she said, declining to identify the patients.

Another church-goer was treated at Fort Saunders Regional Medical Center for a non-gunshot injury and then released, hospital spokeswoman Kimberly O’Neal said.

The attack happened as children were singing for the congregation, and police are reviewing video recordings made by church members to see if they captured the assault, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen told reporters.

No children were harmed in the attack.

There was no evidence he had been to the church before and he had apparently said nothing before firing, Owen said. The FBI is assisting in the investigation, he said.

Owen identified the man who was killed as he stood in front of the shooter as Greg McKendry, 60, a church member who apparently was the first person the gunman encountered. The Tennessean said McKendry stood in front of the gunman and shielded others from a shotgun blast.

Linda Kraeger, 61, died at the University of Tennessee Medical Center a few hours after the shooting.

The shooting was reported to police at 10:18 a.m. EDT and the first officer arrived at the church within minutes, taking the gunman into custody from the congregants, Owen said.

Here is an interesting video on the topic. The church in the video, located within a state that does not ban church carry, actually encourages its members to carry during service. The media and others responding to the story seemed highly against it. Obviously filmed before the many shootings in churches recently.

Out of the 48 states that allow concealed carry, only 22 allow carry within places of worship. The other states specifically prohibit it just as they do within K-12 schools. What do you think? Feel free to tell me why you voted a certain way in the comments.
