Apathy & Corruption - Deference & Delusion - Lies & Privilege:

 Yeah well I was going to do yet another rant against modern thoughtless stupidity - but I might give it a break and talk about some technical shooting issues instead .. 

WHICH IS THE BEST RED-DOT SIGHT FOR A CARRY GUN? 

THAT'll Do for Me: (Ameriglow Tritium Sights).

No Bulk, No Optics, No Electronics, No Flat Batteries.

And the next question .. Can you use a 22 for self defense (in USA?

- Of course you bloody well can - And indeed you should use a 22 pistol or revolver if that is what you can afford, manage, - control and shoot well - and you enjoy the fun of practicing with it regularly.

Don't worry about it's Effectiveness POWER and Lethality - as those factors are all well documented.

However .. If you CAN manage a more potent handgun for your defensive needs - I suggest this might be preferable provided that choice would be readily available and affordable.

It Only Takes 60ft.lb of Energy to knock a man down ..

So a Central Nervous System .22 L.R. hit will do the job 

- provided you avoid .22 Shorts & C.Bs.

- Not everyone can manage a full power cartridge .. If you need a fit body - hearing protection - and deep pockets to buy your center-fire ammunition, while risking tendon injury & hand damage .. and achieve less accurate & slower fire rates when relying on your powerful magnum 'man-stopper' cartridges .. It may be time to stop flinching and to think again ..

- There are even softer, quieter options of sub-sonic cartridges around - but you seriously would need to test these out properly to check their accuracy and ballistic performance.

Check-out that excellent .22" penetration in ballistic gelatin ..

.. Returning to the main title subject matter ..

- You likely will be aware of the corrupt lying gutless shenanigans being enacted in UK - New Zealand's 'Mother Country' - that surely brings home how badly mistaken British citizens are to think that they & we live in a Democracy. 

We live in a MONARCHY where our Police Service swears loyalty TO THE BRITISH RULING MONARCH - NOT to the NZ Government - nor to the New Zealand people.

- We live in a hereditary monarchy where law-abiding citizens are prevented by regulation from defending themselves from attack by criminal nutters.

Oh .. If you fancy a little amusement on the cheap while waiting for Democracy and Truth to arrive - search "vintage watches e-bay" and see what you can buy for a few dollars. - How do you fancy an old Soviet era 'DEATH TO SPIES' mechanical Stalinist watch .. or maybe a SEIKO 'Mickey Mouse' watch from India?

SMERSH 'DEATH TO SPIES' WATCH

These bargains from places like Ukraine and Mumbai can take months to negotiate the various postal systems .. but those surprise packages can contain rare treasures and amusing curiosities.
