Vehicular Fires: Be Prepared to Intervene

(from carthrottle.com)
(from carthrottle.com) [Ed: And now for something not completely different. Going armed is fundamentally simply being prepared for dangerous emergencies; so is being equipped to fight fires. I've put out a couple of auto fires, and our author has stopped three or four. This is a more common hazard than most think, and deserves attention by all guardians and sheepdogs. Pictured is a McLaren -- man, that hurts!] Disclaimer:  I am not an auto mechanic, but ha...

(from ammoland.com)

Rules for Sheepdogs

(from havokjournal.com)
(from havokjournal.com) 1. Don’t stand out, but rather blend in.  I can easily spot wolves, but on the other hand I don’t want them to identify me as a sheep dog.  While I have a long history of wearing pro-2A t-shirts and hats, I am beginning to rethink this.  It is a fact that most of us are average looking; why stand out with some type of “loud” clothing?  2. Don’t overeact – assess first.  This is a rule that you can practice every time you go into public.&nbs...

HR 8: The Threats Within

(from history.house.gov)
(from history.house.gov) [Ed: SCOPE-NY president Tom Reynolds just sent this plain language explanation of this RKBA-punitive bill via email to members. We felt it gives such a clear picture of the bill's aims that it is important to share it widely. The bill likely will pass the House next week, and the Senate could be where it might be diluted or even stopped. It is cocked & locked, and pointed at the heads of 100 million citizens. It will not be the last.] SCOPE recently publishe...
