«-- Jim's Quote of the Day: | Main | Three Letters Re: Advanced Medical Care and Transport After TEOTWAWKI --»
Odds 'n Sods:
Our friend Michael Bane, a gun writer and video producer (of Down
Range TV and "Shooting Gallery" on The Outdoor Channel)
now has short review segments on Ruger's new polymer frame SR9 and
LCP .380 pistols.
The latter, weighing only 9.4 ounces looks like a cross between a Seecamp
and a Kel-Tec. I'm not a fan of the pipsqueak .380 ACP (9mm Kurz) cartridge,
but a gun that is close at hand at all times is vastly superior
to grasping at air when
trouble arrives. Concealed carry is, after all, a compromise.
If I was expecting trouble, I'd be carrying a .308 battle rifle--not
any any sort of handgun. Be sure to check out Michael's many blog
articles and videos.

Reader MGB suggested the
"Trapped in Your Home" calculator page. After having read about
modern tanning and leather preservative chemicals, I cannot concur with
their mention of leather clothing and furniture as emergency food sources.

Some commentary from Jim Jubak: Market
'reforms' a gift to Wall Street. His mention of the lack of regulation
on derivatives contracts is right
on target.
