Sunday's Blog of the Week.

The LawDog Files is a hard hitting, take no prisoners blog. A recent post, Meditations on the Combat Mindset is a good example of what you can expect to find there. From the post:

..."No! I can't take a gun or knife on a plane! I'm going to be helpless!"

Codswallop.

Put a Masterlock and a thin leather dress belt in your carry-on. If a critter presents himself, thread the Masterlock onto the dress belt and break his skull with it.

If TSA takes away your Masterlock, then beat the critter to death with your walking stick.

If they confiscate your walking stick, then you take a pencil, a fountain pen or a biro, and you puncture his vital organs in alphabetical order.

If your writing utensils are banned, you garrote the bastard with your bootlaces.

If TSA forbids foot-wear, then you break a CD disk and you cut his sodding throat with the jagged edges, BUT DON'T BLOODY WELL GIVE ME THIS "HELPLESS" BULL[DELETED]!

LawDog, they won't let me carry a gun -- I'm helpless. LawDog, they won't let them have pocket-knives, they are helpless.

BULL. [DELETED].

Helpless, my furry arse. You are helpless because you're fixated on tools. You're helpless because you -- your mind -- is letting you think that you're helpless just because some daftie took away your pretty tools.

Stop it.

Firearms don't have a single godsdamned thing to do with the Combat Mindset.

Knives don't have a single flaming thing to do with the Combat Mindset.

Combat Mindset has not a bloody thing to do with tools, and everything to do with your mind -- that's why it's called "The Combat Mindset" and not "The Combat Toolset".

Period. Full stop. End of statement.

The LawDog Files is a blog well worth your time.
