Limiting beliefs
+++++++++++++++++++

Have you become addicted to limiting beliefs? Do those limiting beliefs soothe you and comfort you while at the same time holding you back?

In the short term, it can be much easier to tell yourself you can’t do it. Yet when you look at the big picture, it’s much better to go ahead and do the work of achievement.

You can comfort yourself today by believing that your lack of progress is not your responsibility. However, you’ll soon be paying for that short-term comfort with long-term regret.

It is difficult work to acknowledge and follow the best of your possibilities. And it is well worth the effort.

For your dreams are calling to you, and they’ll never be satisfied until you do something about them. You have what it takes to reach them, and they know it.

Break free of your dependence on limiting beliefs. And achieve the great things that only you can bring to life.

Women are buying more guns in Chicago in reaction to a downturn in the economy and an upturn in crime.

More good news – many are looking for professional training. Tucker and I used to have a shooting school in the 1980’s and 75% of our students were women.

They were good students because accepted training and wanted to be better. Most of the guys “knew how to shoot.” (Wanna bet on that?)

One thing we noticed for sure – a woman will shoot you in a heartbeat if she’s threatened – especially if her kids are threatened. Like a mama grizzly bear.

Check out the story here.

What’s the best gun for a woman’s first gun? Any opinions? Stories? We’d like to know.

I don’t know who the guy is who made this video, but I think his explanation of a double tap is worth viewing.

People sometimes think a double tap is one sight picture and then releasing two shots as fast as possible, hoping the second shot will hit the target. See if you like his explanation and demonstration better.

Here’s an interesting success story from Afghanistan of an incredible sniper shot.

If you were the sniper, would you want the islamic world to know who you are and where your family lives?

Not me.

I always enjoy Thomas Sowell’s columns. He’s clear-headed, thoughtful and articulate.

Here’s his take on the “health care crisis.”

His article is called “Alice in Medical Care.”

This video is the best I’ve seen to put today’s health care debate into perspective. It’s just great.

Take a few minutes to watch Health Care video.  (Has short commercial before the video.)

This will be one of the most important debates we’ll ever have and you can’t depend on the government to tell it straight.

My primary desktop computer has been down for a few days.

I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows, losing most of my data files in the process. I’d backed up the Quickbooks files and key Tucker files, but a lot more was missing.

The “computer guru” to whom I took the computer, “cloned my hard drive” to another hard drive before wiping out my C Drive, but most of the cloned files are corrupted.

Thanks to having Carbonite online backup, I’ve been able to restore those data files .  For $49/year that’s a great investment.

One other benefit is that you can remotely access you backed up files from any computer when you’re traveling.

If you are threatened and choose to display your firearm to prevent an attack, or you have to use your firearm to defend yourself, be the first….the first to dial 911.

“If you carry a gun, carry a cell phone. Whoever calls 911 first is the complainant; if it is not you, you become the suspect.”

(Thanks to Stephen P. Wenger for the advice)

Another important thing to remember: We’re shipping Answer IWB’s for common pistols in only TWO WEEKS.

Which guns are we talking about as common pistols?

1911’s – ALL (not all STI’s – ask first if you have an STI)

Beretta PX4 (Fullsize or Compact)

You’ve always wanted an Answer IWB anyway, haven’t you?

Helena, Mont. (AP) - Montana is trying to trigger a battle over gun control – and perhaps make a larger point about what many folks in this ruggedly independent state regard as a meddlesome federal government.

In a bill passed by the Legislature earlier this month, the state is asserting that guns manufactured in Montana and sold in Montana to people who intend to keep their weapons in Montana are exempt from federal gun registration, background check and dealer-licensing rules because no state lines are crossed.

That notion is all but certain to be tested in court.  Read more here.

This video puts the $100 Million savings in perspective when looking at the entire budget. Check it out.

At Tucker Gunleather, we’re working right now to save something substantial – Lead Time.

We’re flooded with orders and lead times have lengthened as you would expect. We’re expanding the IWB shop and have built a whole new Silent Thunder shop.

Shortly, we’ll be posting new, shorter lead times – a savings you’ll appreciate.
