I log to my favorite Discussion Board and I am slapped by the news that Col. Jeff Cooper has passed away. Col. Cooper was the Father of modern defensive pistolcraft. The Alpha of all the "new" tactics & techniques that we use to train and fight with a handgun. Directly or indirectly, millions of shooters today use one or many of the techniques he developed and there are not enough “thank yous” in this world to express the debt we owe him.
I never had the pleasure to meet the man. Those who did describe him as cantankerous, self-assured and a teacher. His tongue was as deadly as his guns and I am gonna let the Colonel himself shoot away:
-Remember the first rule of gunfighting... "have a gun."
-One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time.
-Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.
-Pick up a rifle and you change instantly from a subject to a citizen.
-One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure—and in some cases I have—that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.
-Individually, we do not bear arms because we are afraid. We bear arms as a declaration of capacity. An armed man can cope - either in the city or in the wilderness - and because he is armed, he is not afraid.

Rules of Engagement
In warfare, one of the surest methods to lose is to let the enemy dictate the Rules of Engagement. This also translates to the Ideological Warfare we are having right now with the Left: they are dictating how should we fight against them and cry foul to their referees if we deviate one millimeter from their rules but they have no shame in stepping out a mile and throw sand in our faces. In fact, they play without rules
Remember, we are not involved in a sporting event here. This is survival of a way of life. We are fighting against people that want us gone and they get to keep all the toys. It is not, as they try to portray, a search for a common ground in which all could live. Don’t buy that line of crap for one second. They want you submitted, gone or dead if possible. Their ideas are the only ones valid and yours must be erased and if it takes massive lobotomies or mass executions, so be it.
Right now, we are still fighting with words and in a draw. Soon enough they will step up and use harsher methods. When this happens, don’t cry foul and ask the referee for a penalty, he’s been bought and paid for and you will be out of the game. The only solution will be to play even harsher and eliminate them. It is your life, be ready to defend it.

Chismes que llegan
Informaciones llegadas de fuentes secretas y fidedignas.
1) Hay discusiones dentro del campo chavezoide acerca de lo que puede venir despues de las elecciones de Noviembre en USA y sin el conocimiento de Hugo Rafael. La orden dada es apoyo irrestricto a los candidatos democratas y sabotear a los candidatos republicanos para cambiar el balance dentro del congreso Americano. Los nuevos lideres Democratas como Pelosi y Reed darian mejor tratamiento o ignorarian al Gobierno Chavista. El temor es que los Republicanos mantengan el control y el Presidente Bush decida apretarle las tuercas a Chavez antes de que se acabe su presidencia.
2) El grupo de discusion esta considerando que hacer si los Republicanos se quedan en el poder en Noviembre. Al parecer el experimento Bolivariano no esta dando los frutos revolucionarios que se esperaban. Bolivia esta en proceso de desintegracion, Lula esta en lo suyo e ignora los comando de Hugo Rafael y los viajes del mismisimo Hugo visitando a cuanto loco y satrapa queda en el mundo no han hecho sino demostrarle a la los europeos y confirmar a los americanos que Venezuela se ha convertido en un manicomio comunista. Los Chavezoides no quieren perder la teta multimillonaria que les esta entrando y que estan depositando en los bancos internacionales de las Islas Caiman y Brickel Avenue en el "odiado" Miami USA.
3) Si las cosas se ponen color de hormiga chiquita, dicese que los Chavezoides gubernamentales estan pensando en elevar a Hugo Rafael a la altura del Che Guevara. Esto se realizaria con la bendicion del "Padronne" Fidel desde su lecho recuperativo en La Habana. Esta por decidirse el metodo de "ascencion a los cielos revolucionarios" pero seguro sera espectacular y la CIA y Bush seran acusados del hecho.
4) Despues de la Ascencion de Hugo, comenzara la razzia dentro de las filas Chavistas. Aquellos que se han negado a cumplir ordenes o han tenido los testiculos de iniciar algo sin el permiso de la plana mayor, seran acusados de contrarevolucionarios y traidores. Incluidos en el grupo seran los que el Vinatero Rangel considere "chusma" y que dan una muy mala imagen internacional a la Revolucion. Basicamente habar una "Noche de los Cuchillos Largos" y solo la crema selecta quedara en pie.
Gracias a los "chismosos" de confianza por enviarme la informacion. Cuidense y sigan siendo precavidos.
