Thought for the day:
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Did this come from an article/book, or was it something you wrote yourself?
Something about it seemed familiar, wondered if I’d read it before or I’m completely mistaking it for something else.

'You don’t get to choose when being fit could potentially save your life. Functional capacity for doing work is an essential part of being a protector and provider"
Well said, Mr. Kennedy.

It renews my hope to see an old warrior like this!
*Thought for the day:
“Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Thought for the day:
Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Remind me of Aquinas’ Four Last Things we all face:
Death
Judgement
Heaven. Or
Hell.
Behave accordingly
It’s a book….
Thought for the day:
If you have decided to carry a gun everyday, make sure you know when you will use it. You can train all the mechanics, but, if you are not prepared mentally, then it’s a waste of time and energy. Have you given serious thought to what situations you would actually draw you weapon with deadly intent? Do it now before you are faced with that decision.
Whether this was the correct decision or not, it doesn’t matter now, because it is over. Ask yourself this: What would you have done?

A review of the basics of survival:
@Idaho that’s a difficult question for speculation but one I’ve given a lot of thought to since years ago when I started carrying while in public.
In my state of Ohio, an individual may (MAY not must) act on another persons behalf as if the attack was targeting that individual. This means if I witness a person under imminent threat of severe bodily harm or death I am legal to respond on their behalf IF I so choose.
The question remains though doesn’t it?
What I believe I’d do and what my character is built to do world be—>
The very moment I observe someone in a situation wherein i would draw and fire, that’s precisely what I intend to do. And, I’d hope another man would do the same for me.
Let’s cover some stuff though.
- We’re responsible for every round we fire. Collateral damage to innocent people ain’t ok,
-what distance is the perp? What is around them 360 degrees - anything I’d not want to destroy?
Where are the other customers in relation to the desired path of my bullet?
Are there any obvious accomplices?
Can’t say that’s everything that would be considered but it’s the general principle of not launching lead at the wrong person.
Have I mentally prepared, yes a lot.
IF me, my family, or an innocent I decide to help is in mortal danger then I’m going to ante up then bet big.
Sadly this type of metal prep doesn’t get done a lot of the time.
And here u go…. That 72(1?) year old at Monterey park. Nobody would look at the guy and think shooter, yet….I didn’t read details and ain’t sure of the type location that happened whether indoors or out. No matter cause the coward did his crime then didn’t have the cajones to face justice.
But that’s happened inside a ten mile radius of our vacation BnB we’re heading to soon and caused my wife some concern. My response there was that she should search the stars for crimes within ten of our own house then see HOW surprised she really is. We don’t live in a crime ridden area or even the city, but in a typical suburban area with mostly middle class people mixed in with some more affluent types, judging from houses and cars….
It’s everywhere damn it. Not even wholly safe in church and half of those restrict carry of firearms.
This leads to my last point- it’s almost like the citizenry, or the majority, hold very little sacred nowadays. Folks don’t think twice when they hear of a violent crime or one against innocents because they’ve heard it so many times they’re becoming desensitized to violence altogether, almost lending to it a nod of normality which it is far from.
If we don’t get at it and instill solid moral values in the younger generation they are who will pay, not us
You all take care :))
Any thoughts on this?
Thought for the day:
An ambush is tremendously effective because it takes away the reaction time that the victim would rely on in order to respond. An unsuspecting victim is effectively helpless for several seconds … if they survive that long.
Vigilance and situational awareness are the best counter-ambush techniques … without those, it’s just luck.
