Practical Eschatology: A Monday Medley of Videos (10/21/2019)

"Personal Protection: Double Action Revolvers Part 3 (Ammo Capacity)"--Paul Harrell (39 min.)

Harrell notes that you will be able to solve most problems with 6 rounds or less, but not always. He also a good point about high-capacity handguns, which is the (legal) danger of emptying the magazine after a perpetrator ceases being a threat.

"Cops Are Outnumbered & Get Over Their Heads - Lucky People Did Not Fight Back"--Think Like A Cop (13 min.). A reminder that our law enforcement officers often find themselves in serious danger. In this case, a couple officers entered a building to make an arrest, and the occupants and their friends lock the outside doors and try to free the man being arrested.

"Innocent Couple Lose Their Lives In Robbery"--Active Self Protection (13 min.)

I guess this is another example of "only professionals should have guns," as the "professionals" kill two innocent bystanders and then kick the crap out of a third innocent bystander.

"NY State Plastic Knife Ban"--Cold Steel (11 min.)

This video is mostly a look at some of the polymer knives sold by Cold Steel and goes over the pros (including the idea of hanging one in your shower with light weight fishing line) and cons, but it does mention that the State of New York has enacted a new law banning the sale, purchase or possession of knives that are undetectable by a metal detector. The law takes affect on November 1, 2019. You can read the press release from the New York Governor's Office here.

"COSMIC DISASTER | Introduction"--Suspicious Observers (4 min.)

I think that what he describes would match some of the natural disasters predicted in Chapter 8 of Revelation after the 7th seal is opened, so its worth considering. (See also my post, "Plasma Discharges and Ancient Iconography").
