I'm betting the sequel was most likely to have addressed shotguns and rifles, maybe even small-team tactics since he had done a pretty good job in Volume 1 of talking about a lot of the basics and mindset that would be cross-purposed for long-guns.

Hope he gets around to Volume 2.

It's no surprise that the number one funder of the democrat party and lead anti-gunner himself is funding these on campus protests:
George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests

The democrat's #2 funder, SBF is now in jail. Truth is we need to mop up illegal activity, first and for most by jailing and bankrupting the people who fund it.

Amen to that. A tough row to hoe, however, in the current political clime. The first step is to positively identify and build a case against the illegal activity, and you can't even begin to do that if DAs and the Dept. of Justice are looking the other way.

I don't put SBF in the same echelon as Soros, though. I think Bankman-Fried was 40% idiot and 40% clueless. He just magically ended up with a lot of money and did it badly enough that he got caught. Soros is an ideologically-driven pit-bull, knows exactly what he's doing, and his son is already locking his jaws on the target to maintain the bite when the old man dies.

And speaking of Kurt Schlichter, isn't it interesting that, after having published at least 10 novels and 4 nonfiction books over the course of a decade (and being a senior columnist for Townhall.com, a Los Angeles trial lawyer, and a retired army infantry colonel), he has no Wikipedia page...while others who have written only one or two books (but not of material or opinions that run counter to the left) do have Wikipedia pages?

Paladin: I nabbed that book a couple of years ago. Mine's a 2012 publication, 2nd edition. Do you know if there was ever a "Volume 2" since this one is subtitled "The Pistol: Volume 1"?

I don't want to dissuade anyone from the book--it's excellent--but what made me an immediate kindred spirit with Reitz was when, in talking about pistol fit in the "basics" section, he wrote:

I can shoot most pistols fairly well but the pistol that best fits me and that I feel most ‘locked into’ is the single-action, semi-automatic 1911 Colt styled pistol in .45 caliber.

I think that we have to "war game" situations at least in our own minds so that we don't end up without a mental path forward when things go bad.

If you're far enough into the book, did you have the same reaction I did to the pervasive pro-Hamas fiascos that spread last week across U.S. university campuses like wildfire? Clearly that was well-funded--from somewhere--and centrally planned if not centrally orchestrated; might have been localized "cells" responsible for operationalizing the "demonstrations." Very eerily similar to the progression of events that Schlicter wrote about.
