“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.

Don’t Look At Your Gun While Reloading!

by Jews Can Shoot on August 5, 2016

Although this article is titled “Don’t Look at Your Gun While Reloading!” it is also meant to cover the reasons you shouldn’t look at your gun while working on it, period. This includes loading, unloading, and clearing malfunctions. Though this is a highly debated and emotional topic on social media and the interwebz, most progressive trainers agree that if you are training for personal defense, looking at the gun to complete complex motor functions is not a good idea.

CONTEXT

To look at this topic with reason and logic, first we must cover the contexts we are training for in regard to personal defense. Not all law-abiding citizens have the same context. But, even over the probable or likely scenarios we could find ourselves immersed in, the importance of not relying on visual data to complete complex motor functions is still significant.
