Terrorists can strike anywhere and at any time, giving them a huge strategic advantage.Unfortunately, too many politicians around the world are refusing to admit this.
After the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris earlier this month, France placed 10,000 uniformed soldiers in front of Jewish sites across the country. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be very effective.
Israel learned this lesson the hard way. For several decades after its founding, Israel responded by putting more soldiers and armed police on the streets. Unfortunately, a mass killer can wait for officers to leave the scene or to kill the uniformed officers first. No matter how much money Israel spent, terrorists could wait patiently until they see an opening to attack. . . .

Your sidearm and magazines/ammo are like American Express. Dont leave home without it. If you forget them, go back and get them because the one time you don’t have them may be the time you really need them.
A rifle in the trunk carried in a proper manner could come in handy too.
x 10x“A rifle in the trunk carried in a proper manner could come in handy too.”
Yes, that could come in handy; but it also may be too far away when one really needs it.
Still, it’s better to have it in the trunk of one’s car, in the parking lot or parked on the street, and at least be in the vicinity where one has a chance to get to, than to have it miles away at home.
Yeh that’s why we ccw everywhere we go.
Oh Yeaaaaaa!
Prepare accordingly....
There is a bill in the present session of the Texas Legislature to allow citizens to have open carry rather than just concealed and I believe it also removes the requirement to be licensed, but I’m not positive about that.
I believe a number of Texans had rifles in their vehicles when the Dallas tower sniper opened fire and were able to suppress him. What two not gun free zones is John Lott referring too? Ft. Hood, like every federali government facility, is a gun free kill zone. Seriously considering upping my ccw from GLOCK 26 and total of 31 rds to GLOCK 19 and 46 rds. Or at least 26 and a couple of 19 magazines. All with Hornady critical defense.
It’s better to have it and not need it than
to need it and not have it.
Well, it wasn’t Dallas, it was Austin (U. of Texas).
But you are right, quite a few citizens grabbed their hunting rifles, etc. to try to eliminate that shooter (whose name was Charles Whitman).
I’m gonna recommend the 147gr Speer Gold Dot HP for ya with your G19......please give it a serious peek and consideration.....and yes I carry a rifle in my truck here in Texas, every day.
Stay Safe !!
We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics........ shoot to kill is shooting to stop the threat regarding islamakazis.
Stay Safe !!
Aiming and scoring hits on the intended target is more effective than spraying a dozen rounds at random and hoping for the best.
The ‘Israeli method’ is to carry your semi-auto pistol with the magazine loaded, but no round chambered, and the slide cycled, as you ‘present’ your firearm.

There are those that ‘snub a snubby’, in deference to a semi-auto pistol, but might you carry one, you still have ‘enough gun’ to do the job.
And always practice for the head shot. It worries the alphabet agencies when they see a civilian "head hunter" practicing, as they know it defeats body armor.
But, the muzz are also known to wear armor, so make your practice count.
Jihadies have no qualms about lumping Americans
together. Why should we be different until “moderate”
Islam stands up and cleans their own house of these
mad dogs. I’m not holding my breath.
I never leave home without it. I almost did on Saturday when my wife and I were going downtown in Houston. I went back to get it and she said, “You don’t have to bring it everywhere we go you know?”
I replied, “I know I don’t HAVE to. But I want to. Therefore I will!”
the muzz are also known to wear armor
I’ve heard that there is legislation that will prohibit owning body armor. I doubt it will pass though.
