New Weekend Knowledge Dump ...

... from Active Response Training. A truly excellent selection of articles and commentary this week including such topics as: tips and suggestions for covert operators; correctly using the bolt handle and bolt release on an AR; "shooting from retention" including when you should avoid trying to go for your gun, movement and timing issues, and so on, this is one to download/print and carefully read; an article from Mass Ayoob on some self-defense/awareness techniques to avoid being attacked in a public restroom, rest area along a highway, and so on; the overarching conclusions reached from testing Xtreme Penetrator,  Inceptor ARX, Civil Defense from Liberty Ammunition, and G2 RIP handgun ammunition (all in 9 mm); an article about a negative outcome of someone that pulled a knife on a homeless person trying to steal shoes (and be sure to read Ellifritz's commentary); and a lot more.

    Also, Ellifritz has found a good selection of Black Friday sales for the self-defense, survival oriented person.
