Gun Up

Decent law abiding people are waking up to what's happening. The police aren't permitted or are outright forbidden to protect you and your property is a foregone conclusion. You will lose everything if the mob comes for you. You had better take steps to protect yourselves:
  • In the two days after violent looting across Chicago and the suburbs, Illinois State Police saw a massive surge in applications from people who want to own guns, but processing delays are growing as well.

    State police told CBS 2 [...] staffing is an issue, and their staff is working about 40 hours of overtime every month. They are still not able to process those cards in the 30 days required by law.

    According to data obtained by CBS 2 Investigators Firearm Owner Identification Card applications soared after two recent events — the most deadly Memorial Day weekend in years and violent looting incidents across the city and suburbs.

    Applications peaked at 4,916 on June 2 — more than the previous eight days combined.

    “In times of uncertainty people will take steps to protect themselves,” said Dan Eldridge, owner of Maxon Shooter’s Supplies in Des Plaines, where increased demand is obvious in the empty shelves.
Groot immediately labeled all those soon-to-be-gun-owners as "vigilantes" and "racists."

What do you expect from a society that no longer puts religion at the forefront of each family? I don’t want to sound like a dorky, know it all, Bible thumper, but these assholes who want to defund the police, I’ll bet you that each and everyone of these mother fuckers have absolutely no belief in a higher power other than themselves. They do not respect others, nor themselves. So how do you expect these pricks to respect law, order and the police?

They received a shipment of 5.56mm at the local Big R. They didn't even bother to put it on the shelf. They just left it on a cart at the entrance. I think that it was 840rds for $400.

Acquire the weapons and keep them hidden.
Don't even use checks or charge cards to pay family members, much less others.
Push the paperwork through as soon as you can,
Don't let anyone know if you have anything that isn't fully documented, especially family members and ex's.

Firearms are also flying of the shelf. My supplier told me that Kimber was out 3-6 months.

For your information the protesters are hitting the northwest side today and Sat. They are hitting the aldermen’s offices of 41 & 45 to pressure them to approve the civilian police accountability council. They are also marching on 016, Jefferson Park, Norwood Park, Edison Park. Supposed to have car caravans also. You can see their “special event” orders at: protestchicago.com

Yesterday I was in South Deering. I learned that the owner of Lopez Liquors had engaged members of the Latin Kings to protect his and nearby businesses. Members of the Kings deployed on the roof of buildings with rifles for several days. The group offered their services to ERV to protect his building and he smiled and thanked them and stated he already had protection in place.

Whatever happened to the rule of law within Chicago?

Teach your spouse and your kids how to handle guns safely.
Teach them the four rules.
Take them to the range to practice safety as well as hitting a target.
You can also take more weapons training with them too.

And for everyone's sake, please store the guns safely.
It doesn't have to be a big gun safe, but that is best.
A large tool cabinet with locks will also do the job.

In the past week I visited NorthShore Sports Club for some range practice and Maxon Shooter Supplies to see their excellent gunsmith. Staff at both stores said they had never been busier; everything went flying off their shelves.

They're likely to be busy for awhile, since it'll be a long time before the memories of these last two weeks begin to fade.

Interestingly, after getting a taste of how a real mob acts and what damage it can do, the scales are beginning to fall from at least some Chicagoans' eyes. My phone rang off the hook with friends and neighbors -- most of whom are of the Democratic persuasion -- calling to ask if I could teach them how to shoot.

"Too late for this riot," I replied. "But I can teach you in time for the next one."

Stay safe, everyone. And THANK YOU to all of you real coppers on that Thin Blue Line. You've got far more supporters than you can ever possibly imagine or count.

G-d bless you all.


P.S. By the way, if you know anyone who purchased a firearm for self-defense purposes, tell them to pick up a copy of Massad Ayoob's book Deadly Force: Understanding You Right to Self-Defense. As a shooter for the last 45 years, I think it's the single-best book on the subject and one that should be read by EVERY gun owner. It can make the difference between life, death, and prison.

I also applied for my FOID card renewal in Late January. Still have not received my renewal card. The ISP website says, "UNDER REVIEW". But they sure took my money immediately. I now carry a copy of that ISP renewal page and the information from the ISP dated April 10 that my card is valid for the 12 month period following the termination of the disaster.

Prepare for WORST ( plausible) CASE. Having worked with Royal Canadian Mounted Police and having hunted in Canada, I will use Canadian Gun Laws as a reasonable point of departure. First: Get weapons in Common/ Everyday/ Ordinary Calibers. For Revolvers: .38 Special . 357 Magnum . 45 Automatic ( Smith 1917, Smith 25-2, Smith 625). For Automatics: 9 .40 and .45. Shotguns: 12 Gage 20 Gage ( no exotic hard to find 16 Gage or 28 Gage) For Rifles: .223/ 5.56 and .308/ 7.62. And, of course, .22 Long Rifle. Even the most backwoods gun shop will have these In Canada, certain calibers are banned outright: .25 Auto and .32 Auto. Second, Get PLENTY of factory original magazines. In Canada, handgun magazines are limited to 10 rounds and Semi Auto long guns to 5 round detachable magazines ( if the magazine is not readily detachable , like the British . 303 Lee Enfield Bolt Action, there is no restriction on magazine capacity). Existing standard capacity magazines will likely be grandfathered in. Third, know how to do detailed ( Armorer or Gunsmith level ) disassembly and have the tools and books ( technical manuals) to do so. Fourth, have spare parts, particularly bolt parts for rifle and shotgun and pistol ( spare barrel spare firing pin spare firing pin spring spare extractor, etc.) Next, GET a Revolver and a Pump Shotgun and a Bolt Action or Pump ( Remington M760) Rifle in case Semi Autos are banned. In Canada, the MINIMUM Barrel Length for Handguns is 104 mm (4.2 inches) and thus all regular four(4) inch Barreled Revolvers are Prohibited. Further, with long term storage in mind, get either stainless weapons or some kind of surface treatment ( Black T or Robar or even Parkerizing). Additionally, if batteries are ever in short supply due to bogus Environmental rules, learn to shoot with plain old fashioned iron sights on rifles. Possible glow in dark/ luminous / Trijicon sights may banned because they are ( bogusly) radioactive. Get RIG ( Rust Inhibitor Grease) VPI ( Vapor Phase Inhibitor wrapping paper), Hoppes Number 9, Army RBC ( Rifle Bore Cleaner) and LSA ( Lubricant for Small Arms) and cotton swabs etc and chamber and bore brushes. And, while there is time and access to ranges, teach everyone in family the BASIC SKILL: 7 6 5 ( Old Revolver Drill) 7 Yards 6 Shots 5 Seconds and 3 2 1 3 Yards 2 Shots 1 Second NOTE: 7 6 5 is also good drill with Shotgun ( 4 rounds in magazine tube and one round chambered)

The people screaming to “defund the police” - apart from career criminals - have forgotten (or probably never learned) that police were created in order to stop people from taking private vengeance. As long as there was a reasonable expectation that the police would arrest someone who stole from you, injured you or killed a friend or family member, the need for private vengeance was suppressed.

In reality, the assurance of justice for the victims of crime has been eroding for a few decades - not because of police failures, but because the courts (and now even the PROSECUTORS) have been increasingly more sympathetic to the criminals than the victims. If the progressives take the next step and eliminate (or severely curtail) the police force, it will unleash private vengeance.

And realize that private vengeance doesn’t adhere to rules of evidence, due process or sentencing guidelines. It doesn’t always pick the correct person to target and may even deliberately target people who are innocent apart from being loved ones of the actual criminal. In other words, it’s messy.

I’d like to think that the Social Justice Warriors have a plan for all this, but I’m afraid that they really think they can dismantle the justice system and that the vast majority of people will shrug and “deal with it”. I think they’re confusing a slow burn with acceptance and will be more surprised than anyone when it suddenly erupts.

I just hope they’re the first to feel the wrath of the larger mob they’re about to unleash.

Off topic, but I'm curious if anyone is looking into the BLM protest at 26th street that was held on Monday. According to the Tribune, Amy C. is all upset about things sheriffs said to the protestors, many of whom were public defenders, during their march. Has anyone checked to see if all of these public defenders took Monday off from work? Last I checked, government employees are not supposed to engage in political activity during work time and Monday was a work day, even if they were supposed to be working from home. They are getting paid. Shouldn't they have been home reading files, calling their clients, finding witnesses, etc? If not, they should call in for a day off. Just sayin'.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Time for President Trump to rid us of the Deepstate that has been controlling our government, and purposely destroying our country.
