Be Prepared<\/p>\n
I suspect that more than a few people \u2013 especially those who identify as men \u2013 are familiar with that admonition. I raise the question \u2013 ARE YOU PREPARED?<\/p>\n
And no, I don\u2019t mean do you have a bunker filled with supplies waiting for the coming apocalypse.\u00a0 Because the apocalypse is already here.<\/p>\n
If you hadn\u2019t paid any attention to the latest tragedy from Boulder, CO then go look it up. The thumbnail version is that an illegal alien from Egypt attacked a pro-Isarel group with Molotov cocktails. A particularly heinous method of killing people. Note – All that it took was a few (14) containers of a flammable substance -charcoal lighter works great \u2013 and a few matches or lighters and VIOLA! People burned beyond recognition. No guns required.<\/p>\n
On one of the videos the viewer is caught saying \u201cI wish I had my gun\u2026\u201d So\u2026why didn\u2019t she have her gun? Colorado is no longer an \u201cOld west\u201d state. It\u2019s blue (at least the metropolitan areas) (somehow, I have a problem relating Colorado with metropolitan \u2013 but they have them there) and gun ownership is not supported by the Marxists there.<\/p>\n
Last weekend I volunteered at the Military Appreciation Day festival in Morehead City, NC. It is a tribute to say \u201cA Simple Thanks\u201d to those who have served or are serving in our military. Free fishing, food, and fellowship for a day. (There will be another on September 13th<\/sup> in Southport, NC.) While there I spoke to another volunteer who works as a civilian contractor at Cherry Point MCAS. He remarked that the police department had dropped off some new high tech anti-auto intrusion barricades and remarked \u201cWhy would they be concerned about security here?\u201d<\/p>\n I pointed out that this was a celebration of thanks and acknowledgement for the US military and that there were a lot of people who did not appreciate our military as much as we did. He thought for a moment and agreed that perhaps there were some people who might want to disrupt our celebration.<\/p>\n The whole time I had my hand on my concealed 9mm pistol. I generally prefer something of a larger caliber, but my 9 is easier to conceal. For those who are aware, this was not a parade, there was no fee to participate, it was an open event. All legal.<\/p>\n The Intifada is here. The terrorist in Boulder was here on an expired visa allowed by resident Brandon. But how many trained, Muslim terrorists came across the border with explicit ideas or instructions to do us harm? They want to harm Jews. But they want to harm those who support Jews. Especially Christians. They want to harm US! The Intifada, or war with those who support Israel, is here.<\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t prepared then you might be one of the casualties. Preparing for the apocalypse doesn\u2019t help if some jerk takes you out at Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n In North Carolina, getting a concealed carry permit is pretty simple. And if you carry without one, it is a misdemeanor (if you haven\u2019t committed a felony. If you have, then don\u2019t.) Yes, Sherriff Hughes does a great job, but his deputies can\u2019t be everywhere. 911 response is 15-30 minutes. My 9mm response time is 1100 feet per second.<\/p>\n Be prepared.<\/p>\n Bubbles Up<\/p>\n The Snark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Be Prepared I suspect that more than a few people \u2013 especially those who identify as men \u2013 are familiar with that admonition.
