The What & the Why – Backup Gun or Not? A Bug Might Just Save Your Life

by Doug Larson on October 25, 2020

“What are you afraid of?” is a sarcastic question that cops ask sometimes when they encounter a non-sworn civilian – cops are sworn, but they’re still civilians – who carries more than one gun. They apparently think that carrying more than one gun is unnecessary and paranoid. The peace officer that asks that question usually does not carry a backup gun (BUG).

Many in law enforcement, even though they carry a gun daily in case they need it, view guns as just another piece of equipment and haven’t really thought through what might happen if they really need it. If they had, they would realize that guns, even very high quality, expensive, reliable guns, sometimes fail in the middle of a fight. If that happens, having a spare is something that they are really, really going to need.

Although law enforcement officers may have a greater likelihood of needing a gun to defend themselves, a non-sworn civilian occupies the same territory that cops operate in and encounter the same people that cops do. And sometimes those same people prey on the non-sworn civilian, threatening life or serious bodily injury. While needing a gun may be less frequent for the common citizen, it still happens regularly and a primary gun just might not be all that is needed to save that person’s life.

Range Date Night

We had a date night at the range and grabbed some take out on the way home – the older you get it seems like simple stuff is plenty satisfying – just saying . . .

My Blushing Bride shot the Arex Delta – the ergo’s just didn’t do a thing for her – she totally understands shooting as many different firearms as she can get her hands on – you never know what you may “find” laying on the ground to utilize . . .

She just isn’t feeling the love with it . . .

She split between the dot added to the center and the upper right – the upper left I did a mag dump with it – it works for me -for her, not so much . . .

This next target – instead of another mag for the Delta I handed her the CZ75 – I told her shoot 1 – 2 – 3 – then 4 – – She was shooting at the numbers not the little black squares – I’m like no – that’s the order to shoot at them in – the last 5 rounds – she shot 3 at the black square “by” the number 4 and two by the number 3 . . .

Finished her with her CZ75 @ 7 yds as fast as she could fire and feel like she could get a hit – about 1 second splits . . .

My Blushing Bride is really loving her trigger time with the CZ75 . . . She has actually taken to it like a duck to water – but – she still won’t let go of my Rami 2075 – LMAO!

The folks at Inner10 have actually gotten some stock in – good to see “stuff” in the display cases – ammo?? – they are just managing to keep up with ammo for range shooting – and I have to ask – Have YOU been to the range this week??

Excerpts from a Cat’s Daily Diary. ..

Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies.’ I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released – and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…

Where have We Heard the HO/JO 2020 Campaign Lies Before??

“This is not a dictatorship. We are never going to use force, because we belong to the people. Moreover, the day that the people no longer want us, we shall leave. As soon as possible I will take the rifles off the streets. There are no more enemies, there is no longer anything to fight against.”
