Emergency preparedness is on a lot of people’s minds. With the state of the economy, and the days where the news makes it sound like the country is about to explode into civil unrest, it’s really no wonder.
Some people think that it’s all a lot of hoopla, with no real threat behind it, but when you consider that any sort of disruption in any of the big cities (where problems generally occur) would more than likely affect our financial system, our food chain, or our gas and oil supply. Any one of these being stopped or delayed could make life difficult very quickly, so being prepared is important. Continue reading “Making Ammunition for Emergency Preparedness”
Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- I talked today with a friend who works in nuclear security at a major installation.
He is proposing to his superiors converting all existing ARs, currently chambered in 5.56×45 (223), to 7.62×35 (300 Blk) caliber.

Silvera’s 10-year-old son, Courtney, fascinated by the officers of his own career aspirations, grabbed his mother’s cell phone to record the questioning.

The Vatican insisted it had little jurisdiction to sanction pedophile priests around the globe, saying it was for local law enforcement to do so.
