Odds 'n Sods:
I noticed that the spot price of silver dipped below $12.70
per ounce for the first time in many moons. Given the pitiful intrinsic value
of the US Dollar, in my opinion silver priced anywhere south of $13.50 is a
bargain. Buy
on the dips!

Reader "MGB" flagged a web site that illustrate which countries
to avoid for offshore banking: This
US IRS page shows the countries that have "transparency" via tax treaties And
MGB recommend the
Sovereign Society web site as a resource for comparing banking
privacy of various nations.

Naish Piazza's blog features a link to a great video produced for the US Marine
Corps:
In
the Fight… Even
When Shot. OBTW, speaking of Naish Piazza, Front
Sight "Get
a Gun" training and gear package offer will be ending soon.
This is your chance to get five days of awesome training and an
XD pistol and a lot of other gear and useful references for less
than the normal cost of the training alone.
Don't miss out on this deal, or you will regret it later!

Simon in England sent us some evidence that the public fear of guns in the
UK Nanny State has gone absolutely ballistic. Simon writes: "A SNP (Scottish
National Party) councillor - Jahangir Hanif - almost got the sack for shooting
a
gun legally
(years
before he
became a councillor) when on holiday in Pakistan. Instead, he got "a two-month
suspension". No, you have not read that wrong. He broke no laws in
Pakistan, Scotland, or the UK but there is still a call to sack him." Here
are some links
to news stories about this man's public humiliation for daring to shooting
a gun recreationally: Councillor
Kalashnikov, Kalashnikov
councillor suspended, SNP
refuse to kick out 'Kalashnikov councillor', Kalashnikov
councillor escapes SNP expulsion, What has become of Scotland the Brave?
William Wallace must be restless in his grave. OBTW, if any politicians from
Scotland would like to engage in some similar "foolish and inappropriate
conduct",
they are welcome to come visit
the Rawles Ranch. Perhaps we'll even fire some "evil" tracer ammo
or detonate some Tannerite charges
with one of my L1A1 ("SLR") rifles.
That should send the UK tabloid press
into an
absolute
paroxysm
of
hoplophobic
frenzy.
