ERIN Digital & Phone net Tuesday November 26, 2024; Go HERE for Current SOI
08-08-2013I'm 47 years old, have a beautiful wife of (6) years now and through marriage, an extended family to include (2) great-grandchildren.I served this country as a Marine (MOS 0331) from 84-88, have been an Electrician by trade since 1990 and in the past have been an EMT-B, Volunteer Fireman, Reserve Sheriff's Deputy, and competition shooter (thus the DVC) in IPSC, IDPA, 3Gun.I no longer compete on a regular basis because of the recent ammo shortages and reserve my shooting days to more "goal orientated" outings than reaching for a 1st place finish at the local matches.I've never been much of a History buff and can distinctly remember taking a 9th grade "Constitution History" class where we NEVER read the Constitution from front to back! That was in 1980, I can only imagine what is now being taught in high school but I doubt it's stressing the importance of this nation's founding document. I base this on the oblivious younger generation that I see who has absolutely no interest in preserving the rights declared in it, if they are aware of them at all.The majority of young Americans have already completed the "bondage" cycle (Tytler's History Chart) of their own free will. They are more interested in their moronic Facebook posts then the fact that their government is collecting real time data on every aspect of their lives against the Constitution's 4th Amendment.THE GOALMy goal on the site will be to show some practical tips on prepping that I have learned or will be learning as I go, along with some shooting advise, gear discussion, and news items related to the diminishing rights of America's citizens as food for thought.If you are moved to think or practice a skill because of this site, then I will have accomplished my goal. I hope you will use the comment function to add to the discussion.-Jim
