Racking the Pistol Slide: Technique Not Strength
Several females and some males have complained over the years to me in my firearms classes that they cannot "rack the slide" on pistols, due to their weak hand strength and grip. Older males and females over the age of 60 have said they cannot use a pistol because of their age and related medical condition, like arthritis or joint tenderness. New shooters have demonstrated on the range that they are too gentle with a pistol and are afraid of slide "bite" to definitively and aggressively rack the slide as they should. Shooters cannot operate a semi-automatic pistol efficiently for loading, unloading, and clearing malfunctions without racking the slide properly and quickly. Racking the slide simply means manipulating and moving the slide back and forth on its guide rails. There are many ways and considerations for racking the slide. Competitors and plinkers alike have said and demonstrated that they cannot optimally rack the slide to perform reloads. Some have become so discouraged and thought about actually giving up practicing, shooting, or even not using guns anymore. Others have concluded that they have no choice and must use a revolver, rather than a semi-automatic pistol, for concealed carry purposes because they cannot rack the slide. But, revolvers have their own limitations and considerations. Husbands have contacted me asking me about pistol recommendations with easy to rack slides for their wives. So racking the slide is an important topic and we all must know how to perform it effectively.

What if the Newspaper Exposed Your Address?
Last week I was interviewed by the Huffington Post about marriage and guns. The interview was about how spouses handle it when one spouse is into guns and the other is against guns.

I'm not going to go into the interview here because awhile back I wrote an article about "How to Make Your Spouse to Like Guns".

But the reason I mention the Huffington Post is because yesterday at the very top of their website was the headline, "Targeted Anger: Staff at paper that pinpointed gun owners threatened, intimidated."

Morning Briefing
For January 15, 2013


1. BRAC the Budget
I am in favor of not raising the debt ceiling unless the President and Democrats come up with meaningful spending cuts and reforms.

Contrary to a lot of the Democrats’ spin, the federal government will not default if the debt ceiling is not raised. Only if Little Timmy Geithner decides to not pay certain debts will the government default. It is his choice.

But I do think Republicans should be proactive in their approach to the debt ceiling. I think they should have a plan.

Specifically, I think the Republicans should propose a BRAC Commission for spending. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

2. The Union Agenda Part One: So, you think your Right-To-Work state is safe from unions?
There is, and has been since 2010, a concerted effort by union bosses to get their union-bought cronies in the U.S. Senate to end the filibuster. Why?

The obvious answer is: So, unions can enact legislation that they want. However, let’s break that down to more specifics, shall we?

Teamsters union boss James P. Hoffa is the most blunt in decrying the use of the filibuster being used by unions to effectively end secret-ballot elections. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

3. Gun Control: WWJD?
As the gun control debate rages in America following the abominable events in Newtown, eventually, perhaps inevitably, the media will ask itself, “What would Jesus do?”

They’ve done it for years as it relates to wealth redistribution and Obamacare. Obama gave an entire speech about taxes in which he used Jesus for his justification. I’d wager that the tactic is designed to hit God fearing southerners where, in keeping with the caricature that the media has created of them, they are most likely to submit without question and accept the answer given to them by their betters.

Of course this vastly underestimates the target, but putting that aside, is there any truth to the idea that Jesus would deplore a concealed carry license or a mom defending her children from an intruder? After all, Jesus has some pretty radically pacifist quotes that need only be lifted from the Bible without context to sound convincing. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

4. Sandy Pork And The Lesson Of Katrina
Although Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Atlantic Coast more than 2 months ago, the debate over disaster relief is still raging. While more than $2 billion in aid has been spent by FEMA on the recovery from Sandy, the controversy began after the House failed to vote on a $60 billion Sandy aid bill in the last session of Congress.

The bill was denied passage due to billions included for projects that had nothing to do with Hurricane Sandy relief. For instance, $150 million was included for fisheries in the Gulf Coast, New England and Alaska that were affected by the Japan earthquake of March 2011. Also found among the billions in pork, was $2 million intended for Smithsonian museum roofs in Washington. Yet those unrelated projects pale in comparison to the $28 billion that was earmarked for future disaster-mitigation projects. According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, only three states (Arizona, Michigan and South Carolina) were excluded from receiving Sandy relief money despite the fact that most of the US was not affected. In response to the justified criticism, Congress quickly approved a $9.7 billion aid package in the first session of the 113th Congress that excluded the large amount of unnecessary spending. Now the House is set to vote on an additional $50.7 billion Sandy aid package that hopes to fund the pork projects that were removed. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

5. More Cigarette Taxes Equals More Cigarette Smuggling
A recent study from the Tax Foundation and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy looking at cigarette taxes and cigarette smuggling reminds us, yet again, of how big government always ends up legislating the Law of Unintended Consequences. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

NY College Student Steps up to the Plate and Takes on Islam!
Posted: 14 Jan 2013 05:16 PM PST
During my interview on Pete Parker’s TUFFTalk radio I stated that non-Muslims need to become more assertive, and go on the offensive against deceptive and lying Muslims. Muslims who are PREYING on naive and trusting non-Muslims. As they attempt to con them into believing Islam is no threat to them.

Now thanks to Hunter College Student Vincent Bruno Otero, we receive another massive dose of encouragement as Vincent certainly went on the offensive! His actions coincide with the actions of the growing anti-Islamic youth campaign we see forming across the West!

Watch the story about his confrontation with a group of Islamoconmen!

Special thanks to fellow infidel Andrea on the introduction to the newest member of our team.



It is past time that we lock arms with our infidel brothers and sisters across the world, and drive Islam where it belongs. Back into the caves of the desert! (That is NOT a call to violence.)
