If you have a handgun, get in the habit of conceal carrying it everywhere. If you don’t have a good conceal gun, buy one and train on it. Find a carry option that’s comfortable. These are the times we’re in. Be ready to protect the innocent.

I remain devastated by the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I only met him once, years ago, but we have many mutual friends, and I have watched him from afar build Turning Point USA into the organization it is today. I followed along primarily through my youngest child who would show me videos of Charlie debating on college campuses. My oldest had just purchased her ticket to see Charlie on her college campus the day before he was killed. I saw the impact he was having on their generation, a generation in dire need of positive role models, mentors, and heroes. Over the past few days I have spent a lot of time getting to know Charlie through his social posts and interviews. I have watched as vigils for Charlie have sprung up across the country and the world, including on college campuses, the places Charlie debated openly in the marketplace of ideas. If you value truth, you must value free speech. Those vigils give me hope. In the wake of Charlie’s assassination, people are buying Bibles, returning to the church, sharing Charlie’s message across social channels and donating in unprecedented numbers to Turning Point USA. Charlie’s death has energized a generation. I have also seen the hateful celebrations of Charlie’s death. I will be praying hard for those finding joy in his assassination, celebrating the ultimate act of intolerance. I would encourage anyone whose opinion of Charlie was shaped by a negative headline or algorithm to follow @charliekirk11 @MrsErikaKirk and @TPUSA – listen and form your opinion for yourself - don’t let it be formed for you by an algorithm. In an interview this past June, when asked about how he would like to be remembered, Charlie said, “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing; most important thing is my faith.” Charlie’s murderer did more than kill a young father and husband or silence a voice of reason open to debate…he gave Charlie immortality. My prayers for Charlie’s family and our nation continue.

@KatiePavlich Powerful beyond words.

Pray for Charlie Kirk

THUNDERBALL starring Sean Connery premiered on 9 December 1965 in Tokyo, Japan.
•
The film was adapted from Ian Fleming’s novel of the same name published in 1961.

Thank you @CommandoBond Caleb Daniels, author of the upcoming book LICENSED TROUBLESHOOTER - THE GUNS OF JAMES BOND, for your help with all things Bond! Follow his account and check out his amazing photographs highlighting the world of Ian Fleming and 007. A special thank you to Caleb for the rebreather in a “convenient pocket size” that sits with my collection of Ian Fleming novels.

I believe the artwork above is all by Robert McGinnis either directly for the 1965 film or later as a recreation inspired by the film.

Any THUNDERBALL, Ian Fleming, Sean Connery, or Robert McGinnis fans out there?

I have been getting a lot of questions about the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in New York last week. Because I have some recent experience with a pistol some say was used – a B&T Station Six – I made a quick assessment video and give the reasons I do not think the pistol used was a B&T Station Six.   While I was making the video this morning an arrest was made in the case so we will soon know if the assessments I made hold true. Please let me know below in the comments if you agree or disagree with my assessments or where I may be off base.  I am a student at heart…always learning.

Yes, I know Pierce Brosnan did it better :) 🍸 Anyone watching a Bond film this weekend? Or reading an Ian Fleming Bond novel? Did you catch all the Fleming and Bond references in my 007th James Reece Terminal List series thriller, RED SKY MOURNING? @CommandoBond may have caught them all. Test your Bond knowledge by reading the August 6th blog entry on my website, “Bonding over RED SKY MOURNING: A Tribute to 007’s Legacy in Jack Carr’s Latest Thriller” by Caleb Daniels. If you are looking for signed copies for the holidays, you can support independent bookstores and link to them under the “SIGNED EDITIONS” and “RED SKY MOURNING SHOT THROUGH EDITION” sections of the website. Have a wonderful weekend! officialjackcarr.com/bonding-over-r…

@KatiePavlich @GrizzlyRiverArt It’s beyond disgusting, the blatant censorship. @Smith_WessonInc just had its FB page pulled after 15 years.

Remember kids, if you lie on a 4473 or evade taxes you’re going away for a long time. If you’re the incompetent & corrupt son of the President, you’re just fine. 87K new IRS agents & a problematic FBI & ATF will watch every action we take, however. Disgusting.

The legendary Billy Waugh was born on this day in 1929.   U.S. Army, Korea, Vietnam, Special Forces, MACV-SOG, CIA, Libya, Sudan to surveil Osama bin Laden in the early 1990s, and then back to Sudan to track Ilich Ramirez Sanchez…better known to the world as Carlos the Jackal.    Less than three months after September 11, 2001, he celebrated his seventy-second birthday…in Afghanistan.    The above might not even be the highlights as much of what Billy did for the nation remains classified.      Billy’s journey into special operations started a week after he turned twelve when the local sheriff in Bastrop, Texas walked into the movie theater where Billy was working behind the counter serving popcorn. He asked Billy to run upstairs and tell the projectionist to stop the movie; the sheriff had news to break. The date was December 7, 1941. The United States was at war.   Billy enlisted in the U.S. Army in the late 1940s, attended jump school in 1951, deployed to Korea, was selected for Special Forces in 1954, and first deployed to Vietnam in 1961. In 1977, Billy was recruited into the CIA.    His military awards include the Silver Star, four Bronze Stars for Valor, fourteen Air Medals for Valor, two Combat Infantryman Badges, and eight Purple Hearts.   I encourage you to read his book, HUNTING THE JACKAL. Share it with your children in the middle school, high school and college years – kids today need heroes. Billy was one of mine.   Billy Waugh from HUNTING THE JACKAL:
“I was a hunter, a full-time hunter, at a time when the hunting was good.”   William D. “Billy” Waugh passed away on April 4, 2023.

Honored and thrilled to be blurbed on the back cover & first page of the mass market paperback edition of RED SKY MOURNING, the 007th James Reece novel from my friend @JackCarrUSA . This book was a magnificent love letter to 007, and I mean every word quoted here. 🤙🏻🍸

@IsaacBotkin Definitely @TheIanFleming ‘s Bond novels - these are incredible time machines that so clearly define the era and waning importance of the British as a superpower in the post war era.

Eager to get this one cut down per the sawn barrel mod noted by Ian Fleming in CASINO ROYALE (1953). The sawn Colt Police Positive is the 1st named gun in 007 canon, introduced at the end of the 1st chapter of the 1st book. From @Guns_com Certified Used guns.com/used-guns/cert…

The Walther PPK - Timeless legacy. New options. The PPK and PPK/s now available in .32ACP, with threaded and non-threaded barrels. #walther #ppk #waltherlegacy

@IsaacBotkin This - absolutely this. The race to the opposite direction when celebrating yourself as a Western heritage brand is the definition of self destructive hubris

Students of firearms history should absolutely check out the amazing archive of original GUNS Magazine editions from 1955 - 1972. The stories, adventures, and advertisements are brilliant. Assume not everything is accurate, but still worth the read. gunsmagazine.com/classic-issues…
