“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Why I like my snubby — a Smith & Wesson Airweight 642

by Jews Can Shoot on November 26, 2015

Last year I made a big decision regarding concealed carry. I wrote, “For years, I’ve been carrying a Model 22, .40-caliber GLOCK that I was given as a gift. As a rule, it’s great for a thigh-holstered mount when I’m on the ranch and working outdoors. But, let’s face it … thigh rigs are hard to conceal in the summer. And my arthritic shoulder screams when I carry it in a purse or bag. A GLOCK of that size and caliber prints big time under a summer tee.”

I conducted lots of research on carry guns, and in particular, lightweight ones. I shot several options.

I talked to my mentor in the industry, Julie Golob, whom I trust completely when it comes to guns. She recommended a Smith & Wesson Model 642 Airweight, which is a revolver. Yes, I know, she is the Team Captain of Smith & Wesson, and so you’re thinking she wouldn’t recommend anything else … but let’s face it. Her alliance with this firearms company is a two-way deal. She trusts that their guns will not only help her win competitions, but also defend her and her family. It’s a great fit – an upstanding female role model who shoots top-of-the-line firearms.
