I have generally had an attitude of getting more serious and ramping it up as things change. Things that are really only a a pain to maintain or cost a lot of $$ are just a list that is slowly being worked through. My short lead slinger licence is on the list along with a s&w and I always maintain that we will have a warning prior to a serious non natural event. So in essence I think we have just had a first gentle warning in the US of A. My doomsday clock just ticked! Time to join a club and begin the licence/purchase process

Yep, doesn't hurt to have a few, or a lot, of noise makers around the place

I'm more relaxed about Trump myself, he's policies have been about De-esculating as much as possible in conflict and teaming up with Russia against ISIS [sponsored by the Saudis btw]. He's hated by the Neo-cons because he's that way. They may have some political activists in the DNC, though I suspect they'll fall quite till the next round because the funding would have stopped [which keeps them going for the most part]. That and people are not taking '-ist' insults anymore. The media will probably play the same game [see wikipedia about collusion] as before to save face, to race-bait perhaps.

I tend to agree, most of the fear surrounding him was fabricated by those wishing to keep the status quo. I can't stress enough how important his support of the 'audit the fed' movement is. Will *hopefully* change the direction one of the biggest economy's is being pushed.
His ideas of re-evaluating the relationship with Russia could actually avoid huge scale war, not promote it as many people have been arguing.

The peace is most likely, see what Russia put forward. I'm certain that Trump is the opposite of a puppet, he's one of the best negotiators [and has a best selling books on it] in the world. He fought against almost every aspect of the establishment to be where he is. Russia have issues with being ringed by missiles capable of nuclear warheads, much like the US had issues with missiles in Cuba. For me at least, the clock ticked one minute back.

I agree, it appears we may have just been given a reprieve. Although the hard left are following through with their threats of violent riots.

www.courant.com/opinion/letters/hc-ugc-article-another-tick-on-doomsday-clock-2016-11-03-story.htmlAnother Tick On Doomsday Clock?
I pray that on Nov. 8, voters will realize what is at stake in this presidential election. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has set its doomsday clock to three minutes before midnight to signal the undeniable threats to civilization posed by global nuclear weapons and unchecked climate change. In a similar vein, 375 prominent scientists, including Stephen Hawking and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Stephan Chu, published an open letter severely criticizing Donald Trump for threatening to dismantle the Paris Accord signed by 197 countries to decelerate the devastating effects of global warming. So what will happen on Nov. 9? Will there be another tick on the doomsday clock because of Trump's ignorance of science and emotional unpredictability? Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung famously said that "the world hangs by a thin thread, and that thread is the psyche of man." If Trump is elected president, that thread will be perilously thinner.

James C. Malley, Farmington I can see how his views on climate change will have an effect but its still only one country. To say that he's going to trigger global nuclear warfare based on some idea of the writers inability to predict what he's going to do is just fear mongering. US had been pushing russia into a corner for so long that we've really been given an opportunity for a diplomatic relationship with them now. In my opinion we've just kicked that can down the road at least.

Lol frac. Always a good time to ramp things up as long as you dont take on a bunch of debt to do so. I've been really enjoying my IPSC training and would highly reccomend seeking out an IPSC club to go see what its all about, much more interesting than stationary target shooting. The club nearby does that IPSC training. The fees and requirements are heavy. But it does seem interesting. I am going to pay them a visit.

To compete you need to be a financial member of IPSC Australia, SSAA, your club, your training fees and pay your licence fees. That's all before your handgun / ammo and match fees. It is however, really good fun and handgun training.
'International Practical Shooting Confederation' is focused (generally) on practical shooting, ie running and gunning, shooting around barriers, reloads on the go. Watch some IPSC videos on youtube of people competing, its a wonderful game.
