ISIS Is Coming, Weaponize Yourself & Your Environment

By Ray Gano
I am sitting here and listening to the news in the background.
ISIS has beheaded yet another person, this time a British citizen.
Tracye and I have been talking that there is a need for the common person to start thinking about protecting themselves.
Do you know that if you brought a knife to a gun fight, you would most likely win?
This is called The Tueller Drill.
Sergeant Dennis Tueller, of the Salt Lake City, Utah Police Department wondered how quickly an attacker with a knife could cover 21 feet (6.4 m), so he timed volunteers as they raced to stab the target. He determined that it could be done in 1.5 seconds. These results were first published as an article in SWAT magazine in 1983 and in a police training video by the same title, “How Close is Too Close?”?”
That means that a person that is approximately 21 feet from you or less, they will be able to attack you before you are able to draw a gun.
That means that one of your most important skills that you have is your situation awareness. In other words, knowing what is going on around you at all times.
In the Army we used to say, “Stay alert – Stay alive”
That is what is needed today.
Fight For Them – They Are Your Home
Tracye and I really do not watch regular TV anymore. We will turn on Fox News, but that is about it. What we do watch is a lot of Netflix so that we can control what shows we watch and stay away from a lot of the filth that is on TV.
Last night we were watching Longmire, it is a modern western TV show, kind of like Gunsmoke for today.
In the show there was a scene with Henry Standing Bear (played by Lou Diamond Philips) where he is quoting from a supposed Cheyenne legend… “What Did The First Warrior Say To The Great Spirit”
I am not sure of its authenticity but it touched a chord with me and reminded me of what it means to live the Servant Warrior life.
We are to honor God always and protect the innocent, the ones we love.
Thought I’d share it with you all.
“The First Warrior looked out on the land and his Home.
He saw the hills
And the stars
And he was happy.
For giving him his home, the first warrior told the Great Spirit
That he would fight and win many battles in His honor.
But the Great Spirit said, “No, do not fight for me.
Fight for your tribe,
Fight for the family born to you,
Fight for the brothers you find.
“Fight for them,” the Great Spirit said, “for they are your Home.”
This is the attitude that all of us must acquire. We need to be our brother’s keeper again and care. We need to start being situationally aware so that we can cover each other’s back.
According to American Police Beat, the average response time for an emergency call is 10 minutes. Atlanta has the worst response time with 11 to 12 minutes and Nashville comes in at a lightning speed of 9 minutes.
The Department of Justice, with their statistical prowess, reports that the best response time is 4 minutes and the worst over 1 hour.
A lot can happen in 10 minutes. This is why I say that we must start taking responsibility for our lives and for the lives of those we care about around us.
