Her group (funded by the Joyce Foundation) hasn't done anything toward reducing violence (like, oh, say, anti-gang education, or getting judges to keep criminals in prison longer), but they're awfully mouthy if there's any attention to be had for their cause of separating good people from their self-defense tools. <br /><br />And BTW, Fendry is a jerk. He's in it for the money, doesn't play nice with other 2A groups, and actually doesn't do much to support citizens who choose to carry, esp. those of us who carry openly.

He explained how police response actually works, from the time the 911 call is made, to the dispatching of the call, and all that, and ended up by saying that a response time of 10 minutes is about the best you can expect, most of the time. Anyone remember that article?

If one reads the Constitution one learns that the law has <i>always</i> been "in our own hands" because it's always been our responsibility to elect and manage those whom we select to create and enforce it, and we're the ones ultimately responsible when those whom we select fail at their jobs. <br /><br />Aliennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-50215793204580249242013-01-26T21:06:10.822-06:002013-01-26T21:06:10.822-06:00Great post, great advice from both you and the she...Great post, great advice from both you and the sheriff.Glenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76800732487648840152013-01-26T11:59:09.296-06:002013-01-26T11:59:09.296-06:00I just wonder how long before he starts losing sta...I just wonder how long before he starts losing state and federal funding???

An opponent of their choosing (doesn't have to be a martial artist) will be given a fake knife covered with ink/paint. The person in question will then be required to fend off, run from or otherwise avoid the attacker for 2 minutes (or however long they quote for their statistic), without being knifed lethally. Perhaps such a graphic demonstration of "minutes away" might lead a few people to at least consider the necessity of learning how to defend themselves, if not the necessity of a firearm. Bonus points if the defender goes a second time around, but is this time offered a paint pistol.tmoneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-77798085535460924402013-01-26T10:15:46.066-06:002013-01-26T10:15:46.066-06:00In Indiana, if our burglar alarm went off, the pho...In Indiana, if our burglar alarm went off, the phone rang IMMEDIATELY from the dispatcher. In Florida (this is IMPORTANT) dispatch has to call FOUR numbers that you have supplied them, BEFORE they will dispatch help.<br /><br />I guess it's because they figure us old people have nothing better to do than to accidentally trip our alarms.<br /><br />In the time FOUR numbers are called, three people have been awakened and are saying "huh?" and the forth number is US being killed, we're chicken soup.<br /><br />Gun's answer immediately.<br /><br />lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-77269925653749816242013-01-26T10:13:28.014-06:002013-01-26T10:13:28.014-06:00D'oh!

The fact that we as a society have allowed ourselves to be convinced that fighting back is somehow wrong, immoral or offensive is insane. Put another way, since 9/11 there has not been another successful terrorist attack on a plane in the US. This is not for lack of trying, and it's not because the TSA has been such a stellar example of public service. No, the reason there has not been another successful attack is because even though the TSA has been unable to stop loaded weapons from being carried aboard, the citizens and flight crew themselves have fought back every single time someone has tried something. In short, the people defend themselves, and the criminal are unable to succeed at their tasks.tmoneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-68446040963762873412013-01-26T08:50:57.322-06:002013-01-26T08:50:57.322-06:00Don't just get a gun - get competent, worthwhi...Don't just get a gun - get competent, worthwhile training for it<br /><br />Wise words.
