I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in
getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing however
it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
Thanks!

Here is my blog travel

Legal, defensive use of arms:
Every month in American Rifleman (an NRA publication) there is a section devoted to this pulling news items from local media nation-wide noting a bad guy running afoul of a gun owner defending himself, his family, and his property.
Cut the page out and mail it to your local newspaper with a question:
Why don’t I ever read about things like this in your paper?

Also, see: Battle of Athens (TN)!

So, what we have is national legislation aimed at 35 weapons that were used in 25 instances over 31 years in a nation that contains approximately 300 million guns. What’s more, the last time this ban went into effect, it failed to stop the acquisition and use of over a third of all assault weapons used in mass shootings since 1982. This legislation is likely to be wholly impotent to stop mass violence—the catalyst for this legislation.

I would be good to not only document where private gun owners have stopped crime, but where private gun owners have prevented abuse by the government, which is part of what the 2nd Amendment was about.
At least 2 examples in the last 50 years have come to mind in my limited knowledge base:
1. NRA efforts to train people to use guns in the south to protect against the KKK when law enforcement was not doing its job/part of the problem
2. local farmers defending a vet from arrest by state troopers in michigan (i believe in the 70′s) because he was investigating a problem that state officials were trying to cover up

In general, this “OK for me, not for you” govt and Dem tactic should result in their getting kicked out of office no matter what else they stand for.

Dustin, you can get frangible ammo in 5.56 x 45.

Hey, that’s cool! I wasn’t familiar with that, but after a little googling I’m very interested.

When I left active duty and went into the reserves we had a lot of cops in the unit. At the time they thought very highly of 55gr. Winchester Ballistic Silvertips. It was not overpenetrative. Although they did have to swap out magazines if they had to deal with a barricaded suspect.

But if you’re not going to be shooting through car doors or windshields that’s not a problem.

Hornady TAP ammo, Federal Law Enforcement TRU ammo (Tactical Rifle Urban) and Black Hills ammo loaded with the Barnes TSX bullet also have good reputations.

Would seem a best-practice of devoted mothers to protect her offspring.

Anyway I’m glad I live in the sticks. Field corn beats starving when the EBT card tilts.
