A photo of a young girl and her bike…
Female member of the Ahbab Al-Mustafa Battalion stands on a pick-up truck mounted with an anti-aircraft weapon as she undergoes military training in Aleppo’s Salaheddine district, on June 24, 2013. And yes, that IS a 23mm ZSU cannon mounted on a DIY mount complete with firing solenoid controls rigged up from an old motorcycle handlebars– thanks for asking!

Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse
“We all hope we would be the person who would not leave anyone behind, but we really don’t know.
In times of catastrophes some people find their humanity, while others lose theirs.”- Glenn Stutzky –
And Glenn is the driving force behind the course SW290: Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse – Disasters, Catastrophes, and Human Behavior this summer at Michigan State University- School of Social Work
“This award winning, fully online course brings together the latest thinking on how and why humans behave during disasters and catastrophes.
Why do some survive and others don’t? What are the implications for planning, preparedness, and disaster management?
Students in survival groups will face multiple challenges and tasks as they attempt to survive the catastrophic event, escape death, and preserve the future of civilization. For the ability to survive ultimately rests not with the individual but the group”

Free Zombie Book (Did we say, free???)
Yes boys and girls, a good friend of mine, David Forsyth has the first volume of his work “Voyage of the Dead – Book One Sovereign Spirit Saga” up over at amazon for a pretty low price. Like perma-free. $0.00
Dave’s a great guy and we worked together on the Outbreak: Visions of the Apocalypse anthology for Permuted Press last summer. While it is not free, sales of that one all go to charity (Direct Relief International).
So check out a zombie book or two.
Before they check you out.

What the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution can tell us about gun control
Sparked by growing unrest due to the Ukraine’s Euromaidan protest movement against the government, that country broke out into open revolution this month.
With the Ukrainian police under the direction of President Yanukovych being filmed engaging in shooting at demonstrators in Kiev, and reports of up to 100 killed in violence in the country, we have been subjected to a series of photos in which ordinary citizens are taking up arms against a regime that is illegitimate.
The thing is, these arms are pitiful in comparison to those being used against them.
(A Daisy Model 880 pellet rifle is heavy artillery due to the country’s strict gun control measures)
(Another with a Chinese made single shot air rifle and great trigger discipline..)
According to a study by Gunpolicy.org, the 46-million person Ukraine only has some 3.1-millon guns owned by civilians across the country. Two thirds of these are off the books and unregistered (and thus illegal to possess). The Ukraine has just 640,615 legal firearms owners who in turn have just over a million guns– most of which are shotguns, with semi-auto rifles and pistols in many cases being hard to obtain legally. This is about 6 registered and unregistered guns for every 100 people. The Ukrainian police and military forces are estimated to own some 7.5 million guns including some of the most modern select-fire small arms in the world. The government outguns its citizenry and does not have to listen to them….or at least they didn’t think they did…

Is the 10/22 the Perfect Aftermath Gun?
In the realm of being prepared, there is that boogeyman on the horizon that is known as the ‘TEOTWAWKI’ situation. This is one of those things where Mad Max movies, zombie films, and sci-fi books all leave fiction behind and come into sharp reality. Although we haven’t gotten any memos of an upcoming event, we want to know what you think of the good old 10/22 as the perfect gun for when the dust settles.
