Completely agree, Thumper. Even though I have not yet been trained in firear ed during the American Revolutionary War, but also dissuaded both Nazi Germa

April 19th marked the date of the beginning of the US Revolution, the battle of Lexington and Concord. The objective of the British landing force was
to sieze the powder magazine in Conchord. That was a decisive moment since the Redcoats couldn't bring the volume of powder that matched what was at the armory. One of the volunteer's only job that night was stay at the magazine and burn it down if it looked like the Redcoats could capture it.

Check out Project Appleseed when you have a chance. It's a two day marksmanship course tied in with history lessons specifically from the battle of Lexington and Conchord. If you never shot a rifle, they bring spares and y ou are the best candidate for training, and if you have shot, it's still good training. You'll learn to shoot with a rifle sling while standing, kneeling, and prone at 25 yards, and later stages include shooting at smaller scaled targets to simulate shooting at longer distances.

Thanks so much for this recommendation! I checked them out at https://apples ver heard about this before from other brothers, but I will be sure to share _____

A couple of years ago there was some falling out in the Appleseed circles, and a second group called Revere's Riders grew out of it. I'm not familiar with the drama that started it or what the major differences are, but the Appleseed guys I know endorse trying either program and are good friends with the guys who split off.
In the searching I've briefly done there were arguments about growth or expand ing the training provided by Appleseed, and a bunch of trainers and facilitators walked out and made the program how they wanted it.

In my view, as long as there is a program that teaches both civic responsibi e's a lot to be said for appreciating the awesome power and tremendous respo

Everyone is familiar with the poem about the ride of Paul Revere, however the events in real life didn't work out as told. He wasn't the only messenger - they had redundant riders. Considering the people with subjects of the king, yelling the British are coming would make little sense. Revere was caught
and interrogated, and told them everything because events were already in motion. The officer took his horse and left him to be guarded. His escape was less than spectacular. The guards wandered off and didn't take him with them.

The rattlesnake on the Gadsen flag came from Franklin's writings. It is o of the few animals that warns you before you act too foolishly. It will n attack unless provoked, and even then it's rattle is fair warning to whoev doesn't back down. Step on the snake and you will get hurt.

Manufacturing and private ownership in the States was also a must have
in the early days due to the king not having the money or sympathy to protect the new colonists from natives and aggressors from other countries. Telling the subjects to arm themselves was a critical move towards not needing a king and his army.

Add to this discussion the fact that "civilians shouldn't own military hardware" is another misnomer... Civilians WERE the military, and they could own canons, battleships, you name it!

Pragmatically, I would probably draw a line closer to nuclear materials
and arms than a cannon or tank. Worth noting that civilian arms dealers have jets with missiles... they sell to the US (and Australia, Israel,
etc) but they are civilian companies.
