Many of our commentators, both here and on Facebook, have surveyed the situation in Connecticut and pronounced that the excrement is gaining credibility. In other words, Constitution State gun owners who have not complied with their state’s new “assault weapon” and “high capacity magazine” registration system are on a collision course with legislators and law enforcement officials. We shall see. In the run-up to that maybe event, it behooves Connecticut gun owners to have a realistic strategy for defeating any unconstitutional gun grab in the weeks, months and maybe even years ahead. A “you can pry my gun from my cold dead hands” approach when the SWAT team shows up at your door ain’t it. TheHossUSMC has a better idea. Agreed? [h/t DrVino]
I hope that Connecticut hardware stores are stocked up on shovels and PVC pipes.
PVC pipes, fertilizer, disel, nails, and electric igniters.
I love mine. Very accurate. Makes putting center shots in profile targets at 7-10 yards a snap. Concealable with 10 round mag, and I carry a 15 round backup mag. Ugly, but very functional. I like the Gen 4 MUCH better than the Gen 3.
Ok if you are friends with your neighbors And they have weapons and the enemy shows up to your door there screwed. There in the middle let the lead fly

I wouldn’t call an armed response a true deterrent in that some attempted crime happens, good guy pulls his gun, bad guy cancels plans for an easy score. Sure, it deters increased damage, etc., which really isn’t even discussable. It absolutely works. I wonder sometimes if OC can be a true deterrent, meaning it can prevent any attempt to commit a crime. I know that the popular wisdom is that it increases the likelihood of being a target, but that is only true if someone actually notices.
It is amazing how little people actually notice what’s going on around them. Not the readers of this site, as your SA is probably an 8 or 9 out of 10. But consider this: I am a below knee amputee and, because I live in the Southwest and can wear shorts about 9 months a year, my prosthesis is very obvious. And it is stunning how many people simply don’t notice. It’s not that they are being kind by ignoring it, but if I make some reference to it, they look at me blankly and sort of go, “what?” and then get red faced when they look down.
I agree that we all prepare for the worst, which is a deadly serious group of very bad people, but more and more people I have spoken with, from cops to DAs to defense attorneys, the basic agreement is that ‘crime makes you stupid’. Like the guy who tries to rob a gun store during work hours and walks past six police cars parked out front. I would loved to have heard what he had to say, but he was dead before he hit the ground. Most spur of the moment criminals are probably in that category.
I am certain there are true predators out there who can sense weakness like a wolf sniffs out prey, but there are many, many more mopes that are simply dumb as toast and functionally blind. Of course, while I recognize that, it doesn’t change my preparedness. Only a fool doesn’t prepare for the worst. But damn, some of them are just hard-rock stupid.
Wow! So strict they won’t sell mil spec paperweights???

Too much of a risk? What is the risk? That Amazon will be deemed a retailer and thus subject to potential products liability claims? It is possible, they are in the “stream of commerce.” Which is unlike Gunbroker or Guns America or Armslist, which are merely paid billboards, not retailers. Hmmm. Interesting. or maybe just political.
I wouldn’t want to be his buddy if his “tactics” is calling me up on an unsecured phone telling me he just got raided. Take a guess who is next.
Is there a website that explains how to do some kind of secure encrypted methods of communication in the world of gov tyranny SHTF?. Is there such a thing as an Open source encrypter for SW radio or such? I have to imagine that the encrypter has to be open source or you may just be buying your encypter from a fake arm of the gov. Also I’d imagine SW could be taken down easily by gov jammers and i’d also say that you’d have to be running it mobile or the gov would easily coordinate your house. Communications sounds like a real bitch in a SHTF gov tyranny case.
Look up ONE TIME PAD
Yo, 2Hotel9, never see you on sayanythingblog.com anymore. What up wit dat? Sincerely, 308T
Pretty sure WV would get rid of Manchin’s arse if it wasn’t for their love of welfare, food stamps, and other similar programs. Everyone I’ve met feels as if he’s going to look out for us ONLY AFTER he fills his coffers first, then only if his democratic views aren’t violated.
The video auto starts. Make it stop.
OH GOD YOUR GUN STORY IS TRYING TO SIGN ME UP FOR OBAMACARE!
I would rather have 10 strangers I knew had CC permits in my home then 1 stranger without…and my homes not even for sale!
However, he added, “If someone was coming in to do bad deeds, they could care less if the concealed carry sign was there or not. if it’s a comfort level for agents and homeowners, I would say put the sign out.”
If I had a dollar for every neuron that died whilst making that sentence, I could bail the state out of its debt and bankroll the elections of a crop of politicians to fix things.
And then support the creation of the 51st state: Chicagoana
Exactly. Enforce your fiat and face the consequences or repeal it. You can only push good people so far, before they will push back.
Glad to hear the man pants are finally being put on in CT.
People > Government
Wow…my church is pretty pro-gun but nothing like this. I love it. Speaking of “muscular Christianity” various incarnations of the Power Team usually bring in huge crowds of the unchurched. Whatever works.
Even now I will be shocked if they start entering people’s homes in Connecticut in search of contraband firearms. Having said that, it surprises me right now that those in power in the Nutmeg State are so willing to recreate precisely the same scenario as the one that ignited our Revolutionary War. And they do so in contravention of the very Constitution that that war was fought to secure! When you read about how our ancestors responded to British efforts to seize the colonists’ weapons & powder, you will note the vigor with which every able-bodied man among the colonists swarmed to confront the redcoats. After their experience on the road home from Concord the Brits never left the city again. History is a wise teacher.

What an easy target for criminals.
And thus the dance continues. Invent, counter invent.
The issue isn’t cut and dry.
As a former resident of a big city, I can identify with the plight of the urban cop arresting a bunch of thugs in a leftist zone. Thanks to said leftist policies, the police need damn near Biblical evidence before a leftist court will sentence a thug for good. If the thugs say the right thing at the right time after committing a crime in broad daylight, they’ll walk .
And the law is powerless to stop them. I can understand a frustrated urban cop wanting more tools to keep G Money and his homeboy Three Strikes off the block.
The solution here, however, isn’t gun registration. It’ll just be another line item the slick defense attorney will DQ at Mr Three Strikes trial. The solution is a court system which puts bad people away, for good. Not a sorry excuse of a judicial system where, in Chicago for recent example, a thug who shot at a PEACE OFFICER got probation after three years served. Texas doesn’t have a gun crime problem, because cop killers don’t walk after doing less time then I’m spending in college.
The army has an obscure regulation which which says basically that ammo used in guards/MP’s weapons or carried by them must be replaced every 6 months. The rounds must be fired at a range or demilled. The reason is the oils from your skin begin to corrode the shell casing from the first touch and will begin to comprimise the seal of the bullet and primer.
Years ago an MP fiend of mine had to shoot a deer that ran into his work vehicle one night and broke its back. He watched the first 4 rounds he shot from his 1911 bounce off the deer and only the 5th fired and penetrated as it was supposed too. Do you really want to go against a bad guy with ammo like that just because you don’t want to shoot up those expensive rounds?
After saying all of that the ammo made for the military is made to a higher standard than for the civilian world to seal out moister. If you can’t shoot up your ammo every 6 months then at least put on nitrile or latex gloves before touching the ammo and buy extra mag springs.
