Why sheepdog?

People may wonder why I have taken the name Sheepdog. Allow me to explain.

In life you have three types of people: Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs.

Wolves are characterized as those who prey on the weak, the innocent, and the helpless; in other words, they prey on sheep. Wolves are bullies, who like nothing better than putting others down. Wolves are selfish, only looking out for themselves, and not caring who gets hurt along the way. They can be found wherever there are people. They will attack anything that looks or acts like prey.

Sheepdogs are characterized as those who fight for the innocent, the helpless, the defenseless, and the weak; in other words, they protect the sheep. Sheepdogs stand up to the bullies, with no regard to their own safety. Sheepdogs are selfless, always looking out for the others. Forever learning new skills to use in their life against the wolves. They will fight for anything they feel needs their help.

Sheep are characterized as those who are defenseless, weak, and helpless; in other words, they are prey. Sheep see the wolves and are afraid. Sheep see that they are constantly under attack, and try to stop the wolf and its kind through laws and restrictions such as no sharp teeth or claws. They see the wolf, and notice the large teeth and claws. The problem is they also see the sheepdog and notice its large teeth and claws.

Sheep cannot discern the difference between sheepdogs and wolves, so they restrict both. This brings a new problem. The sheepdogs, never wanting to go against the sheep, will follow the restrictions and file down their teeth and clip their claws. The wolves, will only laugh at the audacity of the sheep's restrictions, and, seeing the sheep defenseless, will attack with greater assurance of safety. The sheepdogs will fight back nonetheless but will not be as effective. They know that their fight is just, and will stop the wolves whenever they have the chance.

The sheep will always be afraid of the wolves, and the wolves will always attack the sheep, but as for me, I choose to be a sheepdog. Protector of the innocent, the helpless, and the weak. May God help me in my fight, for I believe it is a just one.

The anti-guns are pushing for another assault weapons ban, saying we need to stop the flow of guns to Mexico. Lets think about this for a few seconds.

Option A:

The multi-million dollar drug cartels are going to send people over the border, to America, and buy Glocks legally for around $600, pass back ground checks, avoid ICE agents, etc. and send the guns back to mexico.

Option B:

The multi-million dollar drug cartels decide to go to the southern borders, and get fully automatic CAR-15s, M-16s, M-60s, etc; from panama and other countries, in return for a few bags of crack. No background checks, no ICE agents, not as much money.

Option C:

The police or military personnel who defect to the cartels bring their ARs, AKs, and hand guns with them, or use their buddies or position to hand whole weapons caches over to the cartels.

Option D: Multi-million dollar cartels steal whole weapons caches from the unmotivated, understaffed guards, or bribe the guards to take the weapons.

Now, if you were a cartel leader, which would you pick?

Heh

Australian Shooter Magazine

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine, which I quote:

"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

"The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and killed

in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington"

Heh.

Alright, listen. If someone is trying to take something that you can't give back, you fight like a cornered cat. A cat is nice and cuddly until you threaten it, then it becomes a mass of claws and teeth that has only one thing on its mind: to get away and to destroy anything keeping it from that goal.

When you find your self in a situation where you have to fight, your attack should be:

Immediate - Don't hesitate. Hesitation lets the enemy prepare.

Direct - You make sure the attacker knows he's in trouble, you barrel right into him fingers gauging at the eyes, knees striking the groin, elbows smashing into the jaw, feet kicking at the knees, whatever will make them go down and stay down.

Explosive - You must fight confidently and quickly, the more you explode, the faster you take away their feeling of being in control, and the more you gain control. Yell at the top of your lungs, this draws attention, fills your lungs with air, and gets your blood flowing, and your adrenalin pumping. It causes the attacker to be scared, lose control, not be able to concentrate, and generally lose the will to fight.

It never hurts to mark them for the police, claw marks on the face, broken limbs/joints, and screw drivers in necks tends to do this nicely.

Where I live, it is nearly impossible to get a license to carry a concealed weapon, and we are not allowed to open carry. If you can get one however, practice drawing quickly and efficiently, and shoot as often as possible. If you can, do some training with moving targets.

I have a lot more to offer, and I will in future posts, but thats all I have time for, for now.
