Amen about the injuries!!!! My Dad and our friend had an extremely severe boating accident in Lenoir City below Knoxville Tennessee when there boat turned over in the spillway at Fort Loudon Dam. They weren't supposed to survive but God had other ideas. My Dad drowned and was in cardiac arrest 3 other fisherman pulled them out of the water. They worked My Dad then put him on the bird and he was flown to UT. He loves to coon hunt so I bought him a smith and wesson victory and a ruger 10-22 charger to hunt with because he already had neck issues from being hit in the head by a tree and with the boating accident he had a compound fracture in his RT arm so he is got a lot more arm and shoulder issues so I know what your talking about

As an LEO what we use to see with optics a lot was someone running AC on artic mode then pull a rifle from a car. In the humid summers the entire rifle would "fog" up and be as wet as a can bottle of beer. The first time you pulled the optic up it was milky white on those late summer nights. I assume your home AC could do the same thing, iron sights are a must on a fighting rifle! There are better fog proofing chemicals out there these days, but I still don't trust a scope or optic on its own.

Very reasonable advice - if the techniques that someone presents are only really usable for a certain portion of the population, it may be wise to take a step back and reevaluate. Certainly someone in peak physical condition, if they have the fundamentals mastered, will outperform most when it comes to metrics such as speed, but any technique advertised as being useful for citizens' self-defense/preparedness should apply to a wide range of people.

Over the years I've seen rifles that were practical and it's amazing how simple most of them were. I was the caretaker for the rifle that belonged to the Hamilton County Sheriff of NY and was in the trunk of his car, this would have been back in the late 60's, and into the 1970's, it was a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .308 with a Lyman receiver sight that had the widest aperture on it. I got to handle and shoot this gun and I was amazed how quick that gun was to get on target and for a bolt action, pretty quick. I live back in a pretty rural area and one of the guns you see a lot in use to this day, lever action or even pump rifles. A pump Model 760 Remington carbine in pretty much any caliber up here on the shelf at the gun shop is gone in a day or two, with .308 I think being the most popular these days. I've always worked well with the old standard, a Model 94 Winchester in .30-30. All of those guns are great working guns, especially in places where politics makes having a semi auto less beneficial with magazine limitations or just neutering the guns etc. Right behind that is a decent pump shotgun.
