MAJOR CALENDAR CHANGES:

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Things are starting to get western out there. England burning, Flash Mobs and the
stock market uncertainty. It is a good time to review you home defense and
neighborhood defense plans. If things go bad, it will be neighborhoods that stick
together to protect their homes and home owners. Make sure you have plans in place
should things take more turns for the worse.
LE CORNER:
You can build an inexpensive training video kit containing a projector, video
cameras and power strip in a Pelican Case or similar box which will greatly enhance
your training cut out the AAR drama. Simply project the last training runs via the
projector on the wall and instantly review what really happened. No egos, just the
facts. To film individuals shooting, I have found that the tape cameras, “MiniDV’s” work best for slowing down action. Digital will allow you to stop frames and
instantly go back. The problem is that you might miss parts of the draw as it only
takes so many frames per second becomes jerky when you slow it down. Tape
cameras will give you a smooth slow picture of what is happening.

MONTHLY
PERSPECTIVE:
.
QUOTE OFTHE DECADE
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry
capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the
Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an
Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense
and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a
man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more
serious than Mr.Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails
America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone
to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The
Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a
multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
Yes, this is our Commander-in-Chief. President Obama is now the first president in
the history of our nation under which our credit rating was downgraded.
I look at this picture and his performance and wonder what America was thinking.
He is living proof that affirmative action does not work. He was passed through
school on someone else’s dime and now he talks via a teleprompter with someone
else writing his script. Obama is a puppet for someone in the Democratic Party, who
I don’t know. He has no relevant life experiences for the job and his consistent lack
of performance confirms it.

I.. see the current financial crisis as more than a money issue, but rather a
.
fundamental problem with human nature. Democrats cater to the weakness in
humans, encouraging them to be reliant on other ands the government to survive.
Further, the Democrats attack everything and everyone who do not agree with their
view. They attack the Tea Party calling these fellow Americans “Terrorists.”
Democrats attack the S & P accusing them of using faulty numbers. The S & P’s
message was loud and clear. The President is not serious about our national debt nor
is the Democratic Party. It is time to clean house. The next election needs to be a
one-sided boot in the ass of all politicians who support president Obama or who
spews the current Democratic lies and rhetoric.
I am always amazed that with all the talent this country holds, yet this is the best we
can do? It is also time for Fox news to expand into print media and put the rest of
the liberal social rags out of business. I would love to see liberal scum reporters on
the street, out of jobs. Wealthy conservatives need to invest in the media, even if it
is a not-for-profit endeavor, in an effort to balance the scales. Currently,
conservatives are outgunned by the liberal media puppet masters.
Next, as Americans, we need to pay our bills. We have groomed a generation of
individuals that will not work unless the job pays what they think they deserve. In a
major U.S. city, I have an in-law that has the large house, drives a Range Rover and
went on welfare because he felt it was beneath him to take a lower paying job.
Actually, while on welfare, his wife took the initiative to get a job while he sat on
his butt at home. He and his family rubbed in our faces that fact that they voted for
Obama. These are the type Americans that are the problem. In their 30’s, they still
bleed their aging parents for money, one who is in assisted living. Parents enable
them instead of requiring them to develop a work ethic and earn their keep. All this
and they have a small child they are raising. What kind of work ethic are they
going to instill in their child? They are simply raising another democrat. Needless to
say, they are not welcome in our home.
This entitlement generation is who is going to crush American financially and
spiritually. I am amazed at how many Americans I support with the taxes I pay and
how many do not pay their fair share.
I guess I will vent about one more issue or should I say “group.” I have cousin who
is gay and I had her as a friend on my Face book page. Then Michele Bachmann
won the straw pole in Iowa and her and her friends got nasty. Commenting that
“She should burn in hell” along with other BS remarks. Not too long ago people
used to say the same thing about their sexual orientation. How soon they forget.
Some of the folks commenting work at a state university in Southern California.
Militant is the best way to describe her and her kind. I have tolerance for gays, but
these liberal dumbasses work in a state funded school, almost a welfare institution or
should I say breeding ground for liberal crap. They are a minority in this country.
While I respect everyone, their group likes to interfere with our military and their
attempts to make a social statements and changes, result in lower combat

effectiveness
and training for our military personnel. If individuals of their sexual
.orientation wish
to serve, then either do it quietly or join the Peace Corps. Keep your
orientation out of our military and our schools and in your bedrooms. I am starting
to lose my open mindedness when I hear BS coming from the “Militant Mo’s that I
have befriended.
Finally, special operations lost the most men in the recent history of our conflicts
with the downing of a CH-47 helicopter. Either we fight and terminate the threat, or
we get out. It should be that simple. If we wait in firebases and are not offensive,
the enemy will be. They will take the initiative, plan, prepare and attack us. If the
Afghan military will not step up and fight to protect their people, let them be
overrun and die.

COURSE UPDATE(S):
I have added a Shoot House Instructor course 28 November to 2 December here in
Nacogdoches, Texas. Nacogdoches Police Department is having Action Target
build a shoot house on county property and it will have an overhead cover. This
class will work both their house and the shoot house on my range and students will
become familiar with what I consider a “store bought house” and an “improvised
shoot house.”

The rifle is a piston system based off the AK design. The outside looks and shoots
like any M4 type rifle with the bolt modified slightly with an AK style gas piston.
We shot two of the first rifles out to 400 yards. One we shot iron sights and the
other we shot with a variable scope to see how it would group with a variety of
ammo from 55-75 grain. We used 55 grain Hornady TAP for our grouping exercise.
While not a sniper rifle, it shot a majority of the groups under an inch without the
barrel being properly broken in. It was fired off a rucksack at 100 yards. I also like

It was necessary to break position on the last group and reload and this is what I

I fired this 5 round group at 100, prone unsupported w/CSAT peep sight after
zeroing at 7 with my CSAT notch using 55 grain ball.
The gun is a shooter and a fine tool. The isonite coated barrel is very durable and
one checked with over 9,000 rounds shows little or no wear. I have shot at least 5
PWS weapons and have not had one malfunction. I am extremely pleased with the
quality and accuracy of the PWS weapons. Also, their customer service is
outstanding.

Using
.
Gold Medal Match ammo, I was able to shoot this group on our new 700 yard steel.
Though the barrel is not free floated due to the gas piston and does not like bipods,
free holding or resting the gun will provide incredibly accurate groups.
Leupold 1.5 x 5 CM-R2 Scope
The Leupold CQT scope was my favorite. The CM-R2 has replaced it. As a close up
to mid- range (0-700 tested), the scope performs. The reticle is calibrated for 62 grain
ammo, but I initially tested it with 69 grain and it did well.

work at 100 or farther. This is a simple and effective reticle. The scope is also
illuminated if one so chooses.
GEISSELE TRIGGERS
Currently I am testing several Geissele triggers and my initial impression is that they
are quality made will provide years safe service.

MECHARMOR CHARGING HANDLE
I am also testing a MechArmor charging handle. Oversized and built like a
tank, it is growing on me. I should have better feedback next month.

I have never seen a herd of raccoons before….

DVD’s,
Leadership and Training For the Fight/The Tactical Trainer
.
The book out and available from www.amazon.com It also contains the “The
Tactical Trainer.” I just received several copies and will look it over this weekend.
The original “Leadership and Training for the Fight” will be available
exclusively through www.authorshouse.com for those wishing to purchase it.
The Rifle DVD is now out. If you are coming to either my Tactical Rifle or Pistol
Instructor course, I would recommend buying the DVD, review it and start to shoot
the drills and standards. The learning curve for the class will not be so steep.
We will be shooting 3 more DVD’s in November. Advanced Tactical Pistol/Rifle,
Exterior Movement and Weapon Safety,
READING/MISC. INFORMATION
More books stacking up…
CLASS PAYMENTS
You will have a slot in the course when I receive payment for the class. In the
case of an agency, when they officially request an invoice. I have had too many
individuals not show up lately and I intend to put a stop to it.
I would prefer you send a check as the credit card costs for processing are
substantial.
IN CLOSING
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
