Interesting… When I read about this last weekend’s protest in the regular news, it told me that “tens of thousands” of people showed up.

That seems to be “Tens of thousands” multiplied by about a hundred.  If the middle of the road estimates are correct, it is about a million more people that what showed up for the Million Mom March.  Hmmm… No bias here… Move along. 

There was some lady on CNN doing the “gravely serious” voice, talking about the troubling nature of this protest, because it was all motivated by race. So, it looks like us right-wing, racist, nazi, whackjob, crazy people, who just can’t handle a black man succeeding as president, managed to get together over a million people, but it still doesn’t matter, because we’re just crazy.  Yep.  No bias at all.

Meanwhile, the Yahoo headline this morning was about how some bank exec got fired for holding a party at a property that had been foreclosed on.  I’m still waiting to see anything about ACORN in 3 cities promoting prostitution, tax evasion, and child sex slavery of illegal aliens.  I don’t know why anyone should care, this is only an organization that was given something like 8 billion dollars by the government, and they wanted them to conduct the census.  Nothing to see here.  Scandel? That’s crazy talk.

I got several requests for the “No monsters under my bed” but in women’s sizes. So there you go. It is available in a few different colors too.

Coming soon from White Feather Press, Lessons from Armed America by Kathy Jackson and Mark Walters.

It will be releasing in October. When I have a direct link to purchase, I will post that.

Kathy is a good friend of mine. She was my original editor and the 1st member of Reader Force Alpha. When she told me that she’d written a book, I got excited.  She let me have a sneak peak. I finished it while I was in Wyoming for ITRC, but she didn’t want me to say anything yet. She finally gave me the go ahead today.

This is a book about self-defense, concealed carry, and the hows and whys of defending ourselves.  Mark writes a chapter detailing the actual events of a violent encounter, and then the next chapter is Kathy getting down to the nitty-gritty details that we gun nuts love so much. They use that formula throughout.

I’ve spent a long time as a CCW instructor. I love teaching people, but I’m always hesitant when I recommend self-defense books to my students, because there is usually something in there that I disagree with. I can say that I would recommend this book without hesitation. It is a good read, has plenty of good info for everyone, but especially for those just starting out on the path to take care of themselves.

It turns out that Kathy is not just a good editor, but she’s also a good writer. And yes… I was able to actually catch a typo in my editor’s book! Miracles do happen!

Kathy is the editor of Concealed Carry Magazine, and you probably know here from her excellent resource website, http://www.corneredcat.com/

Mrs. Correia just left for the post office. As of today, all orders will be totally caught up. 

I had to run down to the local B&N to buy their last 5 copies this morning, because despite the fact that I’m a professional accountant, I can never seem to get the number of books I need right.

I’ve been getting questions on how to order patches and autographed copies. Check out the buy stuff tab up above, and it will have all the information.

And click on the link to the Cafepress site. We’ve got some cool things on there too.
