“Nothing causes fits of frothing at the nostrils in older folks than the discussions that challenge long held ideas which are surpassed by better things. One such challenge involves which angle of measure you choose to employ in your long range shooting. I am not discussing “I held on ‘is back and I got ‘im….but had to track ‘im a few hunert yards” style of Kentucky windage shooting here. I am also not discussing inches or simple crosshair reticle scopes.

I am pretty adamant that most engagements will be close during an event, probably most will be under 50 feet! Yep, your carbine or pistol (or AR pistol) will be the tool that you depend on most and carbines can be used out to 700 yards or so with the correct ammunition but….Because we like to be prepared, the ability to shoot longer ranges accurately and with enough power to disable mechanical things and organic things means we need a tool with more capability at our disposal than our AR or AK.

The .308W has been around a long time as has it’s daddy the 30-06. Heck about anything from 7mm-08 to 338LM is in the zone we’re discussing but the new kid on the block is the 6.5 Creedmoor and for good reason. Very high BC (aerodynamic properties) means it stays supersonic long past where the .308 is sucking wind. It fits easily into SR25/AR10 platforms (remember, semi-auto is a force multiplier). Half the recoil of .308 and much much better wind bucking make it a standout. If you have hundreds of rounds of match .308 ammo already, stick with what you have but if you’re buying new gear and ammo, the ammo costs for match quality and hunting ammo are similar and actually favor the Creedmoor. If you’re in the market for a great cartridge for the use we’re talking about here, give the CM a hard look.

Both MOA (minutes of angle) and Milliradians are units of ANGLE, not linear in any form or fashion but slices of a circle. “

“In a discussion with a fellow who …. knows, I confirmed my suspicions that there is facial recognition systems everywhere. Not only that, but license plate readers are everywhere as well. While I myself am a completely law abiding good citizen who would never do anything….lawless, I have in the past given some advice….

Never, ever, ever, bring a mobile phone or vehicle with a GPS to anything which could get into any questionable territory. Did I say never? I did? Good…..never.

Along with this, understanding disguise is a lot like understanding camouflage, it probably isn’t what you think. While the latest pattern at the big box outdoor store is great for catching money from customers, the real use of camouflage is very different.

Along those lines, I have a slightly different perspective on social media than most. People normally either completely drop off of it or make themselves interesting to some dude in a cubicle in Quantico. Be in between. They already know who you are, or more precisely the computers know who you are. They know you like guns, that you do not trust government and that you buy your pet meds online. Trust me, they know you. The trick is, have you gone from known to interesting? Have you gone from a dude who has voiced his distaste of current affairs to a person who may be someone worth looking at a lot more closely….”

Frederic Bastiat, a French economist and member of the French National Assembly, lived from 1801 to 1850. He had great admiration for our country, except for our two faults — slavery and tariffs.

He said: “Look at the United States. There is no country in the world where the law is kept more within its proper domain: the protection of every person’s liberty and property.” If Bastiat were alive today, he would not have that same level of admiration. The U.S. has become what he fought against for most of his short life.

Bastiat observed that “when plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

You might ask, “What did Bastiat mean by ‘plunder’?” Plunder is when someone forcibly takes the property of another. That’s private plunder. What he truly railed against was legalized plunder, and he told us how to identify it.

He said: “See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.”

That could describe today’s American laws. We enthusiastically demand that the U.S. Congress forcibly use one American to serve the purposes of another American.

“In a confession-like interview that she called “professional suicide,” the tough-as-nails reporter was summarily released by CBS, where she had worked as the network’s chief foreign affairs correspondent since 2006. During that and subsequent interviews, Logan spoke candidly that much of the media is liberally biased and that posed an imminent problem in terms of journalistic ethics and accuracy. She suggested that today’s news consumers are tasked with getting information from both sides when searching for facts.

So, creating one ideological position on everything throughout your universities, throughout academia, in school and college, in media, and everywhere else, that’s what concerns me,” Logan said.”

“The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum. When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store…If they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true. You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it.”
