Dakota Fire Pit

In a SERE scenario, as were the father and son in
The Road by Cormack McCarthy, it would be
wise to use a Dakota Fire Pit for cooking and warmth.

The Garand is almost as good as a real rifle, he says

I can teach Mr Williamson to load without hurting
himself, and to catch a partial clip in his hand. He
will never love the Garand as I do. On the worst
days of my life she never failed me.
To load...
-lock bolt open
-with edge of right hand against bolt operating
handle press a clip of 8 down into the receiver.
Allow bolt to come forward an inch or so, then
smartly remove right hand and allow bolt to go
forward and chamber a round.
To recover a partial clip ....
-with right hand hold bolt open
-place left hand palm down over receiver
-press clip release with left thumb and catch the
emerging partial clip in left hand.
To carry safely and discreetly, but ready for use.
-Press down on top round of a clip of seven and
allow bolt to close on empty chamber
-Remove barreled action from stock.
-Place rifle in a duffel bag, for example.
It takes only seconds to assemble rifle, cycle the
bolt to chamber a round and be ready to defend
yourself.

July 1 '11 Wyoming does not require permit for CCW

http://www.survivalblog.com/2011/07/notes_from_jwr_390.html

By James Wesley, Rawles on July 1, 2011 1:01 AM

Hooray! Effective today, July 1, 2011, Wyoming

will no longer require permits for concealed carry

of firearms. Wyoming now joins Vermont, Arizona,

and Alaska in recognizing the Constitutional right

to unrestricted carry, both openly and concealed,

without any permit. "Senate Bill 47 amends

Wyoming Revised Statute 6-8-104 to allow anyone

who has lived in the state of Wyoming for six

months or more, and who meets the other require-

ments of the older concealed carry law (excluding

the requirement that an individual demonstrate

proficiency with a firearm) to carry a concealed

weapon, without applying for or obtaining a permit."

Executive Order 13575

NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER –
AGENDA 21 OBAMA’S RURAL COUNCIL

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/DCPD-201100431/pdf/DCPD-201100431.pdf -

On June 9, 2011, an Executive Order established the
White House Rural Council with 25 executive branch
departments including Defense, Justice, Homeland
Security, National Drug Control, Environmental
Quality, Labor, Commerce, Interior, EPA, Housing,
Health, Education to name just a few.

The order covers 16% of the American population
who lives in rural counties because they “supply
our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural
resources, and are essential in the development of
science and innovation.” It ensures Rural America
will participate in Agenda 21 goals of Globalization.
The ICLEI non-governmental UN organization
gets a partner to reach into Rural America.
SUMMARY OF THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER:
1. Federal Control of Rural American Resources
(Food, Health, Energy, Education/Schools,
Property, Water and Lives).
2. Increased Federal Regulation through Executive
Order (Legislation from the Oval office)
3. More Regulation of Food production
4. More Regulation of Land use
5. Agenda 21 implementation accelerates in
Rural America
6. Implementation of Cap and Trade
7. No definitions of what “Rural America” is.
Matter of fact, no definitions at all.
8. More Lawmaking through Regulation (State and Local levels)
9. More State/County Control over your city/town due to grant money distribution
10. Less Local participation due to Regionalization
11. More Federal Jobs funded at Tax Payer Expense
12. Rights Issues: Your Voice. You can not “Un-elect”
appointed committee members. You can not
contact your elected representative on an issue
because this is legislation through committee
regulation. (Strings attached to all that tax payer
funded grant money)Under pretenses that are false
(based on past statements, actions and performance),
the Federal Government is attacking the United
States using Agenda 21, ICLEI tactics but it is much
more direct this time. The actions are simple and the
results – measured but disastrous.
EVERYONE IN THIS NATION NEEDS TO KNOW THIS
This is similar to the Castro’s Agrarian Reform,
but goes beyond.

FIGHTING A FLASH MOB COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - All eight suspects are in custody after a brutal attack in Five Points early Monday morning which left the teenage victim in critical condition, according to Columbia police. CHICAGO, IL (WLS) -- The recent series of mob-style attacks on Chicago's Near North Side mark the first major hurdles facing Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago's new police superi ntendent Garry McCarthy. The latest attack happened Tuesday night. A witness tells WGN 15-20 teens beat and robbed two people at Chicago and Wabash AKRON, OH -- Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family. NO. VIRGINIA -- Three people were beaten by mobs in Northern Virginia in two separate incidents that occurred within five minutes of each other on Saturday night, authorities said. These events have consumed the discussion at most self- defense focused websites in the last few weeks. Accompanying the discussion is the usual hand wringing regarding what to do if one is beset by a gang of thugs bent on your destruction. Well, I have my views on this which will no doubt shock the senses of the Doodley Doo Rights of the gun world. READ MORE....

Obama pushing for illegals to vote

Horne Blasts Obama Administration for Pushing for Illegals to Vote

PHOENIX (Tuesday, June 7, 2011) -- Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne today blasted the Obama Administration for filing a late amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that would push for the ability for illegal immigrants to vote.

In the Gonzalez v State case, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled that Arizona could not require persons registering to vote to provide proof of citizenship. The Ninth Circuit has granted en banc review and Attorney General Horne will personally be arguing the case before an eleven-judge panel on June 21, 2011. Late Friday afternoon, the Obama Administration filed a late, eleventh-hour amicus brief arguing that Arizona should not be able to request information to check if applicants wanting to vote are citizens.

Horne stated: “First, the Obama Administration fails to do its job on the border. Then it sues Arizona to prevent us from helping to fight illegal immigration. Then it tries to create a false sense of complacency by arguing that the border is safe, when it isn’t. Now it argues that persons should be able to register to vote without providing adequate information enabling verification of citizenship, thus enabling illegal aliens to register to vote. This is contrary to the interests of the people of the United State of America.”

Fwd: Final Briefs Filed- MSSA v. Holder - Analysis

Dear MSSA Friends,

The last briefs of those supporting our side of MSSA v. Holder have been filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Those include the amici Goldwater Institute (joined by the CATO Institute), Gun Owners Foundation (joined by the U.S. Justice Foundation), and the State of Montana. These additional briefs should soon be posted to and available to peruse at:
http://firearmsfreedomact.com/montana-lawsuit-updates/

Next, the U.S. DoJ (Holder) will submit its reply brief, rebutting arguments made in Appellants' (MSSA, SAF and myself) Principle Brief, and the briefs of various supporting amici (friends of us or of the Court). Then, any amici may submit briefs supporting the U.S. position (the Brady Center for Whatever submitted an opposing brief at the District Court rehashing their standard, anti-gun rhetoric). Then, Appellants (us again) will have the opportunity to submit a reply brief, rebutting arguments made by the U.S.

The case on appeal will then be assigned to a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth is the busiest federal appeals court in the U.S., and simply doesn't have the time or resources to hear cases en banc (full court). Oral argument may or may not be requested by the Court. The decision of this three-judge panel will carry the full weight of a Ninth Circuit decision, although a motion for en banc review of the three-judge panel decision would then be ripe and might be a possibility down the road.

Remember, the purpose of MSSA v. Holder is to validate the principles of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, and by doing so to BOTH breathe effective life back into the Ninth and Tenth Amendments AND to roll back federal power claimed under the guise of regulating "commerce" "among the several states" (the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution) - generally to set precedent for states' rights and state sovereignty.

What can the Ninth Circuit do with MSSA v. Holder? There are many options. They can remand back to the District Court for an actual trial on the merits of the case (the case was dismissed by the District Court prior to trial, which dismissal is now the subject of the appeal to the Ninth). They can uphold the dismissal, upon which we would have the alternatives of moving for an en banc review or of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court (where we actually need to get with this lawsuit). The Ninth could give us a win on merit while upholding our standing and jurisdiction (unlikely, but in which the U.S. would probably appeal to the USSC). The Ninth could also give us a partial win and partial loss, while also recognizing that we have standing and jurisdiction. While there is absolutely no way to actually predict what the Ninth will do with MSSA v. Holder, the two most likely options are probably to either uphold the District Court's dismissal, or to reverse the District Court's dismissal and remand the case to the District Court for actual trial.

Regardless, it's a fascinating exercise in liberty, and will (has already) ratchet up the national dialog about the import of the Tenth Amendment.

Stay tuned ... "May you live in interesting times." (Old Chinese curse.)
