SOG F01T Tactical Tomahawk

“If you can’t protect it, you don’t own it;” this popular prepping phrase describes the mentality the unprepared have about you and your preps. I’m not saying it’s fair that people could steal from you, but it’s a reality, and a concern you should not take lightly. The fact is that crime seems to escalate in the aftermath of a disaster; something we have seen with many disasters, and as recently as Hurricane Isaac.

I admire your savvy and preparedness, and your plain ol’ guts as well.
But ain’t it a sad commentary on what the nation, through leftism, has come to?
I am sure that you like myself remember a time when doors weren’t locked, windows were open and even the keys could be left in the car.
Take care!
Oh, my, you must be almost as old as I am, well, you’re probably not as old as I am. Yes, windows were open, didn’t lock the car, didn’t lock front door during the daytime. Walked around freely in town not noticing who was walking in the same area. Went to my unlocked car and got in, never thinking anyone would try to harm me.
Now, everything is locked. When I go to my car, have the key out, notice if anyone is around, punch key to unlock door just before I get there, get in car quickly and hit the “lock” button so doors are locked.
It’s a different world and I’d like not to get killed by some piece of dirt who thinks he can assault a woman.
Just got a S&W 59. Over 30 years old. Well broken in. Accurate too. My first weap...er... pistol ever (not pc to call it a weapon, I’m told). Not sure I want HP for home defense ammo. The 9mm should have good takedown capacity by itself. Being an attorney, I’d kinda like the perp to survive, so I can grow my business. :) Thoughts?
Whatever your age you and your kind are what has made this country into something close to heaven for so many of us for so long.
But we don’t seem to have many like you coming up the ranks.
Thanks for being out there, Miz Marcella. You ever get up north, to Montana or Idaho, you let us know, hey?

I don’t have one of those but I have a Cold Steel Brooklyn Smasher. Looks like a black baseball bat. It’s positioned in a spot about four feet from my front door. It’s made to be a defensive weapon. The weight is such that if one is hit in the head with this bat, the skull is crushed for sure. The only downside would be the massive amount of blood to clean up. I’d try to drag the body out of the house to limit the amount of blood on the floor. :o)
Remember the scene in Lethal Weapon 2 where the guy they are just getting ready to kill walks into the South African crime boss’ office and notices that the floor is covered with a big plastic sheet? ;-)
Hmm, my son is a documentary film director who has lived in London over 25 years and he's moving himself back to this country. There is a film professor at a university in Montana who is interested in creating a position for him.
He made a documentary one time about horses that took him to Montana and he was taken with the beauty of that state.
Who knows what will happen - keep the coffee hot, okay?
Let's see - I could have a precut piece of plastic waiting in that area and if I thought someone was coming in, I could quickly grab my throw down plastic and save the floor from a sheet of blood. Good idea. :o)
The LCRs are good revolvers. By harder trigger pull I mean something like 10-12 lbs for a double action versus 3 lbs for a semi auto pistol. shoot one and then the other you WILL notice the difference.
My Ruger Sp101 has a nice, even pull, but it is more than a semi. I discovered how much more when I went to the gun range two days in a row. Boy, that second day was a chore for my (now) sore finger.
LOL, I stay away from the 9mm vs other arguments. Just about any caliber has stopping (they don't want to play anymore) capability. I like my .357 because it is highly regarded as THE round that will take the gumption out of a bad guy. Secondly, since my revolver can handle .38 spec, I can spend more range time with cheaper ammo.
Really to each their own! Now as I said I like my shotgun because not only will take the gumption out of a bad guy it tends to empty their bladder and bowls when confronted with it!
“If you can’t pick it up and run with it, you don’t really own it.” Robert Heinlein.
And your shotgun was left in the headache rack with the windows rolled down in the school parking lot.
Ha! you are close. We did have our weapons in the vehicle at school if we were planning on hunting later in the day, but my hometown-—oil and cattle country, on the reservation—was a little too wild to leave them unlocked.
Years later as a freshman in college I gave a speech on how to clean my dad’s old Ithaca Featherlight which I toted across campus in the tattered cloth case and broke it down and polished it up right there in the old Communications Hall.
Bad actors were punished back then, punished hard and held in judgment later, and not nearly as many bad acts occurred.
I must be older than all of ya, ‘cause my older brother used to bring his .22 rifle to school on the school bus for rifle club days and I brought the box of fifty rounds!
Racking a shotgun does not cause involuntary evacuation of the bowels.
Now caving in a dirt ball’s chest, that’s another story....
Attached web site is a lot of fun wrt home defense and what rounds will / will not do.
i have one i carry under the seat in the car...
Amen, brother! You speak the truth. And if that sweet sound fails to motivate an instant conversion and a hasty retreat, what's soon to follow will git 'er done.
