| This week in Guns & Patriots...
Neil W. McCabe, Editor Dear Guns & Patriots readers, I arrived in Las Vegas Monday night for Shot Show 2012—I suspect many of you are here with me, too. The best way to contact me:editor@gunsandpatriots.com and I will be Tweeting from the @gunsandpatriots account using the hashtag #gnpshotshow with observations, photos and videos. This week, I want to welcome two new contributors: Dick Fairburn, who also writes for PoliceOne.com and Candice Lanier, who also writes forWorld Threats, Women in International Security, The Minority Report Blog, Front Lines and Candice Lanier’s Tech News. This week’s sponsor is the Pimsleur Approach, which is a natural way to learn language. I am using their Mandarin program, which is cool just for the mental exercise and the new words and phrasing I can drop on the unsuspected. Check it out here. Have you not tried the GunCount Free, our private, secure gun inventory program? Download it for free here and you will join gun stores, crime labs and collectors, who are leveraging for success this robust program. Finally, a shout out to the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, now deployed as Task Force Poseidon in Afghanistan. We are running a story by one of their soldiers about one of their soldiers learning to be a Black Hawk crew chief. Our video was shot at some of their Christmas events and our Go Button is their media homepage. Enjoy,
Neil W. McCabe
Editor, Guns & Patriots

|  | Lt.Col. Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) Washington, DC – Our so-called mainstream media have launched a new anti-military feeding frenzy. The furor is over a crude 39-second video showing four Marines apparently urinating on the bodies of three dead Taliban combatants... Read More |
|  | Robert J. Laplander Excerpt: Single-handed he rushed an enemy machinegun which had suddenly opened fire on his group and killed the crew with his pistol.

 | Kilo Gulf I was always a fan of the M1 Carbine. Perhaps I got this from my Dad, a decorated WWII combat vet who carried one. Dad was in the PTO, the Philippines primarily, and a LVT crewman though he did see combat on foot as well as in many major and minor landings all with the 658th Amphibian Tractor Battalion...

 | Dick Fairburn A few months ago I was looking for an intermediate-sized pistol for concealed carry. My old Colt Light Weight Commander .45 is too big for many situations and a handy little S&W .380 Bodyguard is very comfortable to carry, but too small a caliber to be truly comforting... I prefer a caliber that starts with the numeral “4.” ... Read More |
 | Raquel Okyay Obama's biggest obstacle is that our Republican controlled Congress, the entity who according to the Constitution is charged with drafting laws, are doing nothing to appease gun control advocates. And in turn, the lobby has chastised our Democrat President for doing nothing for them, as well... Read More |

 | Army Sgt. 1st. Class Eric Pahon JALALABAD, Afghanistan - A young instructor with barely five years in the Army is strapped to his jump seat amid the thunderous roar and vibration of a Black Hawk helicopter, eyes glued to his even younger student. Army Private 1st Class Craig Lewis has his head out the window, watching the ground and holding his smoke grenade in a death grip as he circles around and around a bomb crater in the sand far below ...

 | John Hayward The House Oversight committee is looking into yet another Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation in which, as a source told the L.A. Times, “apparently guns got away again.” Hopefully the Bureau doesn’t lose track of alcohol and tobacco as often as they let firearms “get away” from them, or we’ll be looking at the kind of public health crisis the White House actually cares about ...

 | John E. Nevola Private Jake Kilroy knew he was right behind his buddy Johnny out the door. But now, on the ground, he couldn’t see any other parachutes in the landing zone. He rolled up on his knees and slowly pulled his chute into his arms as quietly as possible ... Read More |
|  | Publius This, at all events, must be evident, that the very difficult itself, drawn from the extent of the country, is the strongest argument in favor of an energetic government; for any other can certainly never preserve the Union of so large an empire. ... Read More |
