    —“Curt: what constitutes fight shooting vs target shooting?”—

    Target shooting is a way of keeping the cost down and continuing the tradition of riflemen upon which the USA is founded (as are the marines).

    But small arms today are absurdly effective, and the truth is that rifle rounds are the sort of ‘weapon that keeps on giving’ so to speak, in that they just keep going and going and going.

    Pistol rounds are, honestly, extremely effective at .380 and over, with all that mattering is the hit location, and rate of immobilization. Current 9mm semi autos are ‘almost’ idiot-proof, and carry 15+ rounds, and 30 if necessary.

    Pistols are easily concealed as are lots of extra magazines, and are wonderful indoors.

    Learning to ‘fight’ with a pistol like our ancestors did with swords (particularly fencing) is what policemen and swat teams are trained to do. (Not that I”m advocating gun-fu, which while interesting is just amusement.)

    See this example, starting on page 32.

    http://www.actiontarget.com/…/Advanced_Tactica_Handgun…

    ie: moving targets while you are moving, multiple targets, entry into spaces, shooting from wounded, shooting when down. shooting from cover vs concealment. reloading one handed.

    Normal everyday cop training.

    (PERSONAL: For me, I pretty much don’t do anything other than mozambique drills, double taps, while moving, and point-shooting. In fact, if I ever start teaching again I’m going to teach point shooting first, right after all the ‘don’t hurt yourself’ basics, and before anything else. My next handgun if I ever get the urge for another will be a ‘melted’ 9mm 1911 without sights.)

    Everyone is trolling. They are more obvious and not, and more intentional and not. But to some degree we all do nothing but negotiate for our preferences either by shaming, begging, advisin, exchanging, competing, or conquering. 😉

    The judiciary does little more than decide whether to license violence. The law constrains us to licensed violence. And prohibits free riding, parasitism, and predation.

    There is conflict. I want to exterminate these scumbags whether left or right and see them burn slowly so that no pretenders ever again try to steer out people into submission to falsehood deceit and ignorance.

    THIS IS WHY WE DON’T NEED A MOB.

    by Bill Joslin

    With the current state of affairs, in the first world, a total breakdown of civility would occur through spontaneous short term, erratic street violence (riots, looting. Which congregated, then disperses to re-congregate elsewhere) inside the OODA-LOOP of authorities.

    (See Toronto G20 tactics of black bloc)

    From a standpoint of cybernetics, this creates a circumstance and action with in third parties. Party one: rioters, party two: law enforcement… Party one renders party two ineffective which results in party three (everyone else) to react.

    Law enforcement will either up-authoritarian tactics (see kettling of Toronto G20 on day three) which makes life unbearable for party three, or if law enforcement doesn’t ramp up authority, continues to demonstrate their ineffectiveness – which party three then loses faith in law enforcement (i.e. status quo) (see Sons of Odin and block watch groups in the UK around emerging no go zones)

    In other words, men of action – tradesmen, army, engineers (as Tom laid-out) will take matters into their own hands – no out of political ideology, heroism or profit, but rather to protect their loved one, their community and their property.

    By establishing small territories of peace and security (neighbourhoods, two or three block radius) – other in surrounding areas will migrate too or join in their tactics. Essentially what they do is create the first two commons – monopoly of violence over an area (territory) and trust. (See “warlords” in eastern Ukraine with community courts and patrols)…

    Naturally, organically, instinctively – they create the very foundation of of the changes we seek – without any affiliation, central command, ideology, thought leaders.

    What we need to do is ensure they understand what it is they are doing, why they do it, and why they had to do it(property, reciprocity). This is so they don’t seek to re-establish status quo and hand over their safe zones to the old regime – we must show them WHY THEY MUST LEAD and continue to do so.

    We dont need a mob, an army etc, because good men, in times of need, will stand and defend their loved ones, their kith and kin and Their property. Our societies are not filled with gun owning, would-be-revolutionaries. They are filled with dad’s, husbands, brothers – sheepdogs, who don’t want to see the commons they spend their days building and maintaining totally destroyed for ideological agendas. In the US these guys tend to be the ones who own guns – they tend to also be cautious (because they have something to lose) and tend to be the last to a fight, and the last stand if it can message to that. (Which is why the state of affairs continues unchallenged as of yet)

    (I’ll take these guys over well versed, well trained, ideologues any day. Zealots chap my ass)

    One BEGS for Liberty by permission. One FORCES sovereignty at the point of a spear, tip of an arrow, blade of a sword, and barrel of a gun. That’s the difference between failed beggars for liberty and successful warriors of sovereignty.
