1000th Post

 Jan 27, 2014, 11 years ago, I started this website because I couldn’t find anything like it on the internet.   Maybe because it’s too much a niche.  Anyway, it’s been fun writing about things that make me smile.  I’ve been diagnosed with combat-related PTSD.  Related to that is a hyper vigilance that I try to keep under control.  Writing about this has helped me to cope and turned down the hyper vigilance.

This is my 1000^th post on this crazy place I call home.  I’d hoped this would become a place where those members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could come for their own brand of Gun talk.  Thank you for participating in reading and commenting on this blog.  It’s been sometimes hectic in producing content for this blog.  But the challenge of that has been able to get me thinking about the differences and the alike features of self-defense and caring for our families as LDS members and those not of our faith.  The differences are sometimes small and subtle, but with vigilance we can be successful.

If there is anything you feel needs to be covered or discussed here, please let me know. 

Here’s to another 1000 posts!  And thank you for your interest, comments, and concerns!

Semper Paratus  (I use this Latin phrase because I believe it to be my own motto.  I know this is the motto for the U.S. Coast Guard.  I didn't know that when I started to use it on this blog.  Now I want to honor the USCG by using their motto as part of mine!)

Check 6 (I use this because of my military connection.  It means look where you cannot see.  To not be surprised, to be prepared.) 

Burn (I've explained this before.  Burn is short for "Burning Bush" my call sign in the military.  My hair was flaming red and an afro when I was in High School.  As we were studying the Old Testament in LDS Seminary, we read about Moses being visited by the Lord in a burning bush.  They thought my hair looked like a burning bush!)
