      Joseph Knaack ...awesome point!! While I have a rifle and handgun, I would be glad to be the one to feed others while defending the main point of return or a field base. I am not one of those who denies the differences in genders, without denying both have strengths to fulfill whatever role is needed.

    "I led one of the militias which gathered near Concord. We held our fire as we approached the North Bridge. When the regulars fired, I fired and called on my men to do likewise, saying "Fire, fellow soldiers, for God's sake fire!" This was the first time us Americans were ordered to fire on the Redcoats; and the first time we killed British soldiers." -Major John Buttrick Concord

      You wanna blame someone, blame the fact that the kids were defenseless in a "gun-free" zone, which was against the spirit of the 2A. Those kids should have been protected, because you'll never be able to stop sick people from trying sick things. All you can do is stop them.

      it’s a shortened version of another, older slang word meaning “due respect”: propers. This noun - a plural twist on the adjective proper contracted with respects, and only ever plural in its slang outings - emerged in the late ’60s in informal African-American speech, and was first seen in print in the Chicago Daily Defender in January 1971

      There is Cemetery in Hometown Pa. Near Mahanoy City which is almost a ghost town now days. On a mountain side that is all grown up about the year 1993 I was working and working to work and finally deer season came. It's been my peeve to do my taxes while hunting and I also take a book along which means I am a ground hunter. I always find a nice low spot and settle in before sun up and stay there all day. The method usually works 4 me. But that year my usual spot the land changed hands so I had to find new spot which was this hard hill. I took pot luck searching and found this mountain hill side and faint trail that led up to the top. Only after discovering I was in the friggin middle of one ancient cemetery I then went a little ways to settle in a low spot on the tree line overlooking the place and as the sun came up it was a really warm clear day not like deer seasons of the past anyway I could now actually see the remnants of what had one big church down in the valley. Next thing I know I fell asleep. When I woke up I felt a presence so I stood up seeing this old guy that looked like Jesse Duke in his blue bib overhauls and huge white beard I said hello to him. He asked if I knew where I was at. And I just looked at him. I said there abouts it's Hometown right. He shook his no and said no the spot you are on I thought you were a grave robber lucky you were asleep he told me your obviously a working man I seen the tax forms and note book you got. I said I'm sorry if I'm on your property really I said. He said no you are on gods property hallowed ground he said walking 5 feet in front of me he brushed away some weeds from a ground stone and I mean one ancient stone held a picture of a marching drummer. He said you're 5 feet from the little drummer boy. Thee drummer boy he said to me. He told me that in the 1970's he and Calvin Yates had gotten hired to stop grave robbers here it had become rampant because most of the soldiers were buried with guns and gear here. He said he used to have a John Deere tractor to cut the cemetery but he said he was losing the ability to use his shoulders. When this guy turned around to leave he had an old black powder Army Colt 45 on his hip. The back of his belt had 149th regiment on it and I yelled knowing the 149th was the Pennsylvania Buck Tails. I joined the Buck Tails shooters guild here in Pa. when I was 13 years old. This old man was stunned at my revelation I belonged to his charter. He then introduced himself Clay Nonnamacher. When I researched this thee Clay Nonnamacher actually died at the battle of Gettysburg. I am only assuming this was possibly a grandson of his. There is little if any written history on this cemetery and the church. It's not far from Locust Lake area of the Tuscarora State Park. My other hunting spot was only about 3-4 miles from the lake and cemetery area. When you look down off that hillside on a really clear day in the valley you can see remnants of what was once a town. I have no clue what town it actually is. Only the old timers in that area know shit. Mostly everyone there now is from someplace else far away. For years I had planned on doing a video but life & work keeps getting in the way of it...

      My Patriot 1 year dry food supply is a good start. Things that you will also need in your quiver: Water Purification tablets [so u can drink water from almost any source without getting sick], seeds to grow veggies when u can, MedKit AND a Trauma Kit, Antibiotics[I use fish ABs in the liquid form [u can get it at almost any pet store, couple GOOD knives, flint and steel and lighters, tools [at least a multi-tool, tarp, obviously a great set of boots and plenty of socks along with a warm jacket, ...
      Firearms: AR platform[ I have both 15&10.
      Bolt Action rife [large caliber] I use .338LM
      2 pistols, I use Three, 2 smaller calibers 9mm and 5.7 and 454 Kasul.
      Ammo: No less than 1000 rds of every caliber. I would suggest that you also reload all your ammo, so having propellant, Primers and bullets is a good idea.
      A suppressor[ I have 2, both by Silencerco] the Omega works for AR 15,10,300,ect and with the ASR mounting system, u can just switch from one platform to another and only need one. My second is for the big bore 338LM...being quiet is very important for hunting as well as concealability. Extra firing pin and spring for each platform. Cleaning kit and gun repair kit. There are other smaller things like toothbrushes and campers pot and utensils and stuff. I have been putting this stuff away for 5 years now...
      Better to have it and not need it
      Than to need and not have.
      Oh yeah, if you can manage it..a reliable 4 Wheel Drive vehicle and if u can afford a razor with a trailer, those 2 items come in VERY handy, especially the razor so when u are hunting alone and u field dress and animal, it's far easier to bring it back to your base of operations.

    the writings of Tench Coxe were more direct. In his third “Pennsylvanian” essay he wrote as follows: (Capitalization and italics are his.)
    The power of the sword, say the minority of Pennsylvania, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for THE POWERS OF THE SWORD ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE YEOMANRY OF AMERICA FROM SIXTEEN TO SIXTY. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? are they not ourselves. Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American. What clause in the state or federal constitution hath given away that important right . . . . The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”

    What scares me is I think a lot of semi-noble LEO’s who would normally not violate someones rights will be put in the position- by their own administration to either do their job (violate people’s God given rights) or lose their jobs. And those cops are going to be thinking about providing for their families and what happens if they get fired. The unions are in bed with the administration, so they won’t help. If you think for one second the government won’t play dirty and tell the cops to think about their families if they lose their job, you’re mistaken. Also, look at Katrina and how many cops took guns from law abiding citizens while conducting welfare checks with swat teams. They went into peoples homes took their guns at gunpoint and left them defenseless... Sorry Reid, I disagree, I think when push really comes to shove cops and sheriffs will fold and break the constitution. Just my opinion.

    Great advice Reed. Is it better to join an established militia or create your own?

    On the gear, I have a set of LBE I've used since I served in the Kansas Army National Guard back between 1980 and 1992. It's set up for AR-15/ M-16s. Another set I have is set up for an M-1 Garand. I a decent with each rifle platform and possess an example of each.
