Jesse and Eric both sent us this link to a WorldNetDaily article: Congress warned: U.S. risks 'catastrophe' in EMP attack. Eric asks: "Is your vehicle EMP safe?

The folks at CGW (one
of our loyal advertisers) just launched a new updated web site, with more than
300 new products added to their already large inventory
of gun parts, optics, knives, and tactical field gear. Some of the new items
include Bushnell Elite Scopes and Red Dots, Glock Barrels, Leupold
Mark2 & VX-L
scopes, Maxpedition Versipaks, and AR-15 products from
ARMS, Troy Industries, and Daniel Defense. I can vouch that CGW also does amazing
gunsmithing. (We have three L1A1 rifles that were custom built by them, here
at the ranch.) Check
them out, and please mention
SurvivalBlog when you place and order.

Be ready.
