Selco: The Temptations of Being Evil in Post Collapse Situation

In real SHTF people get killed so easily. Somebody who is about to get shot and knows this tried to bite the guy who shot him. It failed, but still.

Few times I already mentioned young guys (and some older too) on many survival forums, who have opinion that when SHTF it is something like mix of Mad Max movie and PC game, so all you have to do is to have gun and go around and take stuff from people and kill them and thats it.

It is not like that in real life. Doing acts of violence will shock you hard, and depending what kind of person you are deep inside and what kind of training you have be prepared to suffer consequences because of what you did.

DON'T GIVE UP THE MORAL HIGH GROUND!

Having spoken with people who have given up that high ground, no matter how little they gave up, they still struggle with what they have done. It affects them to this day.

Having said that, self-defense is not a sin and does not give up the moral high ground.

Magpul 40 Round PMAG Now Available

PMAG 40 AR/M4 GEN M3 Shipping Now!

http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG233

In a move to enhance safety for responsible citizens, military, and law enforcement alike, Magpul Industries is now shipping the PMAG 40 GEN M3. Several years in the making, the PMAG 40 was delayed while GEN M3 technology was perfected to insure the highest quality product and full compatibility with the USMC M27 IAR. With the same compatibility as the 30-round GEN M3, the PMAG 40 provides 10 more rounds of capacity before requiring a reload—which could be a lifesaving difference. This new "safe capacity" offering is ideally suited for those who may need to respond to multiple threats without extra rifle magazines carried on their person, or for military members looking for an extra margin of safety in high-tempo operations. Just 2 1/8" longer than the 30-round version, the PMAG 40 is just as reliable, durable, and compatible as the PMAG 30. The optimized magazine spring can handle feeding at cyclic rates over 1150 rounds per minute, so the extra 10 rounds of safety comes with the ability to more than keep up with platforms such as the M249 SAW and the M27 IAR. Designed for and tested in the most demanding environments. Available and suitable for all responsible civilian and military applications.

Available now from select retailers and distributors - they are already on the way to those locations today, with full production underway. Also, to beat the July 1st deadline for ownership in Colorado, a small portion of the first batch of PMAG 40s will be available from the Boulder Airlift Program for direct sale to CO residents, regardless of previous orders. Limit 2 per customer for direct sales.

14 Year Old Who Refused to Remove NRA Shirt May Now Face 1 Year In Jail

Sheer lunacy!

Suspended and arrested after refusing to change his NRA shirt. Today, 14-year-old Jared Marcum appeared before a judge and was officially charged with obstructing an officer.

A $500 fine and up to a year in jail, that's the penalty that Jared could face, now that a judge has allowed the prosecution to move forward with it's obstructing an officer charge against him.

"Me, I'm more of a fighter and so is Jared and eventually we're going to get through this," Jared's father Allen Lardieri said.  "I don't think it should have ever gotten this far."

The Logan County Police Department initially claimed that the at-the-time 8th grade Logan Middle School student was arrested for disturbing the education process, obstructing an officer and Lardieri says that officers even went as far as threatening to charge Jared with making terroristic threats.

Open Act of Defiance: Magazine Swap at the Capitol

Please help spread the message.

At Midnight on July 1st, 2013, the unenforceable and unconstitutional Colorado ban on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds, a number that was arbitrarily chosen with no logical reason, goes into effect. This 'law' is so bad, that sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties are suing to have it overturned.

In defiance of this law, which is repugnant to the Constitution and therefor null and void, we as free Citizens of Colorado and of the united States of America, will join together to freely trade, buy and swap "high-capacity" firearm magazines in front of the State Capitol. We will be joined by other freedom loving Patriots from other States who come to lend their support.

Please join us in this act of civil disobedience to send the freedom-hating legislative goons and the bought and paid for Governor a message.

"We beg no longer; we entreat no more; we petition no more. We defy them!" - William Jennings Bryan, 1896

FBI Agent Almost Shoots Cop During Staged Robbery

Dumb. Even the on scene reporter calls the scenario a 'lame-brain idea.' Gotta love his sarcastic reporting.

I'm surprised that nobody has been killed yet with all these mock-drills.

Poll: Which Family of Camo Patterns Should The US Army Choose?

From Soldier Systems:

Way back in April 0f 2011 we ran a rather unconventional Camo Design Contest prior to the kickoff of the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort. During the ensuing two years the Army has downselected to four commercial families of patterns and tested the heck out of them. Since the Secretary of the Army is supposed to announce their selection this Friday in celebration of the Army’s birthday, we thought it would be fun to poll our readers on which pattern they want the Army to choose. This unscientific poll will remain open until Wed evening at 2359Z so that we can announce the winner on Thursday morning, just in case it might sway the Army’s decision. Feel free to vote for your favorite and tell your friends.

Be sure to vote in the poll.

Personally, I voted for Multicam.

Edward Snowden: The Whistleblower Behind the NSA Surveillance Revelations

Some are calling Snowden a traitor. Others are calling him a hero.

He has had "a very comfortable life" that included a salary of roughly $200,000, a girlfriend with whom he shared a home in Hawaii, a stable career, and a family he loves. "I'm willing to sacrifice all of that because I can't in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building."

If nobody exposes the corruption, it will continue.

This man acted.

Remember, they're trampling on your Inalienable Rights.

Rural Colorado Counties Pursue Split From Commierado

Hmm...perhaps I would stay in Colorado if this plan actually succeeded.

Rural Colorado county commissioners are pursuing a plan to splinter from the state and create a new one in the aftermath of a legislative session they say runs counter to their way of life.
 

Laws passed this year in the Democrat-controlled Legislature enacting stricter gun control and impacting agriculture paired with attempts to expand regulation of oil and gas production to provide the tipping point, according to Sean Conway, a commissioner in Weld County, which is leading the charge to ask voters in November whether to form a new state.

“It wasn’t that people didn’t participate in the process,” Conway said. “They did. They went down to the hearings. They testified on the bills. They petitioned their legislators. They phoned their legislators, but they weren’t listening. They dismissed us.”

Conway, a Republican, dismissed the idea that the fight is partisan. He said some Democrats who hold county office in rural parts of the state where the economy is dependent on agriculture and oil and gas share his perspective.

Informal discussions have been under way between county commissioners about what kind of action could be taken to stand up against a perceived disregard for rural values, Conway told the Coloradoan. At the annual meeting of Colorado Counties Inc., this week, commissioners from up to 10 rural counties met formally for the first time to discuss moving ahead with the plan.

Any move to split from the state would involve votes in each county that seeks to be a part of the split, most likely referred by the boards of commissioners. If passed, the plan would require the approval of the Legislature and the governor to petition Congress to create a new state.

Conway said it would likely be a requirement that the counties are contiguous, but he said any county — including some in neighboring states such as Nebraska and Kansas — is welcome to pursue the option, which he concedes is extreme. Larimer County commissioners were unfamiliar with the plan, Commissioner Lew Gaiter said.

“Some will call (it) extreme, maybe aggressive,” said Weld County Commissioner Douglas Rademacher. “I would say absolutely. Extreme times call for extreme actions.”
