Right now is a great time to be a prepper. With all these sales going on and with Black Friday coming up there are some great deals out there.

My local Cabela’s has 9mm ammo in brass cases for $11.99 – plus a $5.00 rebate per box. $6.99 for a box of 50 rounds. Wow! Haven’t seen prices like that in years.

Home Depot and Lowe’s has an assortment of flashlights, grills, and tools at great prices.

WalMart same with the flashlights but also other outdoor equipment such as binoculars and game cams.

As an experienced paintball player I have always wondered why firearms have not gone high tech like paintball guns. I am assuming it involves BATF regulations within the manufacturing process. Trigger pulls are directly linked to accuracy. An electronic trigger could provide a substantial increase in accuracy on some firearms for some shooters.

Picture above is very similar to my Invert Mini

I would imagine 3 shot burst, reactive trigger, and full auto modes may create some unneeded attention. Man – it would be cool though.

Started watching the TV series Cheers on Netflix. Wow – been a long time. I remember watching it as a kid and loved it then. Still a great show.

Enjoy this video. Watch it all the way through – even watch it twice. Never ceases to amaze me the ignorance that has led this country astray.

    As far as electrified gun technology is concerned, it’s being done now to improve gun safety “smart guns”. I don’t know enough about it to have an opinion but I know there is considerable resistance to it. The gun must fire when it’s called upon to do so. The more ‘mechanism’ between the trigger and the bullet the more opportunity for failure. Imagine a diode or resistor failure while dealing with a armed home invader….

    Kudos to the interviewer for laughing off this asshat. Had it been me that snowflake would have left without his ponytail.

      Thanks Mr. Gault. No doubt that technology factor would effect reliability. Hmmm….there may be a way to include both electronic components AND mechanical so as to have a back up system just in case.

      Agree DH. I just hope this is the beginning of a new beginning that although may require tough times – the likes of which many of us have never seen – that we will have to go through before things finally get back to where they should be.
