Multiple Terrorist Attacks in Paris

[MechAg94]

A Paris style attack in the US would suck for everybody except the goat pokers responsible.
Look at what we lost after 9/11.
I really hope it doesn't come to it but in a way I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. The small scale attacks we have had so far have all been more or less brushed under the rug by the administration and the willing toadies in the main stream media and labeled as pretty much anything but "terrorist attack".
A Paris level attack would bring on stupidity that makes the Patriot Act look like a good idea.

It might depend on where it is, but you might see a different reaction by the "victims".

As bad as a Paris-style attack would be here, my personal nightmare is a Beslan type of school assault and hostage situation. <shiver>.

The backlash would be horrendous, and the assault on our remaining liberties would be unrelenting.

The backlash would be long overdue-we all know who the enablers of terrorist immigration are. The assault on our remaining liberties would be pointless- there already are a lot of really seething pissed off americans who will cross over the breaking point.

That's taking "Dindu Nuffin!" to a whole new level right there.

Anybody unsure about that just ask Putin.  He apparently has decided to lash back - Read more: http://controversialtimes.com/news/russia-responds-to-isis-with-banned-white-phosphorus-attack-video/#ixzz3rgnVZi3A

To understate the obvious - that stuff is nasty.  It probably will have little effect except on the radicalized islamist jihadists it actually touches but it seems like a much better feel-good response than Neville Obama's nuclear "Peace in our time" deal with Iran.

stay safe.

I'm good with that. The russians don't *expletive deleted*ck around.

I fear you're right. Although I'm somewhat heartened by the "Shoot back, dammit!"-response that's been growing among the American public since the VT shooting.

Why do I keep equating ISIS with the Mongols?
The western pundits seem to be concerned about 'territory' where ISIS isn't concerned about 'territory' or 'borders', but more about conquering/converting/killing and becoming stronger.
I agree with that article- the West doesn't have the political will to defeat ISIS, or anyone else for that matter.

They sure seem willing to defeat you and me.

If people like you and I and a few dozen million people stood together, we could have that and a lot of other existential problems fixed by 8AM tomorrow.

Yeah, but in so doing, we'd probably screw it all up by neglecting to include gendered, trans-racial voices of color as a part of the dialog, or something. Can't have that.

Well that would be one of those problems getting fixed in the process.

The lion tamers already know that we'd eat them for lunch if we figured out that they are helpless against our claws, teeth, and strength, its just a matter of enough of us figuring that out and taking it all back in a coordinated manner.

Another question Gun Talk Radio was talking about is for us personally:  Does concern over these events change what you are carrying on a daily basis?  Does it make you consider different guns?  More capacity?  More magazines?  A backup gun?  A truck gun?  Just thinking about changes you might make or things you wouldn't consider before that you are considering now.  

Yes and no.

Aloha Snackbar is probably not coming to my little neck of the woods.

We're new to carry here.  My carry practice is evolving.  Yes, I'm upsizing slightly, to carrying the XDS when possible, with the longer magazine in a carrier.

Truck gun?  In this neighborhood?  No.

One question I thought was interesting was if you were carrying and someone on a balcony with a rifle was shooting at people, could you shoot well enough to hit them?  Do you practice at longer ranges with your pistol?

I could probably make him duck.

Following the now confirmed bombing of a Russian passenger plane by ISIS, Russia has taken the gloves off.

Meanwhile, Obama's golf gloves are still on.

This.

The idiots making the comparison don't know the first thing about Mongol history.  To them,  the Mongols were some nebulus "bad people"  that came and went.  Not the world shattering force the crushed everything in their path with relative ease.

Heard this on BBC news earlier.  Putin is way better at this game than any of our people currently playing.  This got press,  and it's the perfect "We're relevant, and look we're helping"  statement from the Russians.  All Obama managed to do was show up late to the moment of silence.

Forty (out of around 600) school districts in Ohio are allowing concealed carry by staff members: http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/more-40-ohio-schools-authorize-and-train-teachers-carry-guns-protect-students-class. A good start anyway.

Definitely a couple of spare magazines for the 1911, and I may revert to carrying the Para-Ordnance double stack.

^^^^^

That was started by a guy here in Spokane. He was the FNRA rep for the area until he got sick and could not work. With a wife and a passel of kids he needed something to bring home the bacon, so to say, so he started the ammo line. He would have a table at the local gunshows and did all right with it for a while. I am not sure how he is doing these days, I haven't seen him in a while.
