Was I wrong about ammo?

 Prices have remained stable, in contrast with what I previously wrote. 

But, like TP, peanut butter, and other non-perishable commodities, it is a good idea to continue to stock up. Don't wait until you need them.

Ammunition! Buy Now!

NOW is probably a good time to stock up on ammo. Here's why -

Today I got an email from John Farnam of DTI (Defense Training International). He notes a possible short supply of ammunition components. You can read it here.

Several years ago, I made a post about ammo. Read it here.

How much should you buy now? You decide.

The Smith & Wesson Goldilocks .380

 Thursday August 15, in conjunction with their GOALS Convention in Knoxville, Gun Owners of America had their first Media Range Day near Sweetwater, TN. We were able to shoot a large variety of firearms. One that caught my attention was the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 in .380 caliber.

I call this the Goldilocks .380 because, for a .380 it is just right. There are lots of .380's on the market of varying sizes. Walther has had one on the market for many decades. Many manufacturers have one out there today. A game changer in the .380 market was the Kel-Tek P3AT, which put the .380 in a true pocket-pistol category. The Ruger LCP followed, which popularized that size firearm. 

This S&W is slightly larger than the LCP, with their dimensions compared at the HandgunHero website. From the HandgunHero site, here are same-scale silhouettes of the two pistols.

 Where the S&W really shines, though, is that despite its diminutive size, the felt recoil* is considerably less than the P3AT and LCP, which makes it just right as a .380; small enough to carry discreetly, yet relatively gentle to the user.

*Felt recoil, as the term implies, is a measure of how it feels to the user. Every cartridge from the .22 short to the big magnum African game cartridge has its own intrinsic recoil. From there, firearm shape, action type, weight, etc., all have a bearing on felt recoil. Each shooter will have their own perception of recoil, also.

Easter 2024

 

What would cause someone to voluntarily submit to the agony of the Cross?

Any honest student of history will agree that there was a historical Jesus. Given that, the Bible teaches that He -

• Was born of a virgin
• Suffered unbelievable torture
• Was crucified
• Was stabbed by a Roman soldier to ensure his death
• Was buried

.... And rose from the dead!

He also made an outlandish claim, which if true, places a great burden on us. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."  John 14:6 (KJV)

The Bible also teaches that we all live, die, and  will face judgement. 

However, if you come to know Jesus, He has already taken your judgement on Himself.  "He that believeth on Him (Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18. (KJV)

So, please explore His claims. It is not enough to know about Jesus, you must know Him. 

To answer the question asked at the beginning, look to John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
