The list author says: "Here are the things that I have found useful and that everyone who works with and around firearms, in any official capacity, might consider always carrying along with them when instructing, out on the range, running and gunning, or just plinking at the farm. Heck, gotta have something to put in all those tactical pant's pockets, right?"
"Plant based and non-hazardous, this stuff is a super CLP. Great to immediately remedy a student's "running dry syndrome". If it leaks in your pocket - all you get is "soft skin" instead of solvent irritation. Regardless, not leaking is best."
"Nothing like having the lights go out with a crowd of armed people surrounding you! It happens!!! Tear, bend, shake, drop. At least if they can see you they may aim somewhere else. Lights, please!"
"Solvents don't mess them up. Shooting glove color. Black looks better on the range than purple. At least as far as the guys are concerned. And, yes, I am all guy. Says so on my birth certificate."
"Have you EVER tried to explain to someone how much pressure to use when holding their pistol? Checking peaches for freshness - nah. Tennis ball - nah. BUT here you have a VISUAL feedback device. "ears popping out - good. Ears and eyes popping out - bad". Perfect as a stress reliever too - for you."
"Tacti-cool vests are NOT what you want on the range. Yeah they look neat but your function is SAFETY - not the cover of "Soldier of Fortune". Surveyors work in all weather so this will be cool and slip over your regular clothing. Easy on - Easy off. Two large pockets on the INSIDE. Plenty of marker pockets on the outside."
"Here's what it's all about. The "secrets" of the ages. It's all about money. Not! Why is this in this list. Buy it, read it, and see if it makes sense then. They have been doing it for 2000 years - why not learn from the folks that invented the concept. You will be surprised - it ISN'T about the money. :-)"
