      You ever go up against one of those little terrors? They were originally bred to chase badgers down holes. Also, they jump.

        I watched a program some years ago where someone had trained a pack of a dozen or so as guard dogs, the bad guy in the demonstration never had a chance 😉

        We had a 45-pound Grosse-Dachshund. Super affectionate and absolutely fearless. At least one would-be burglar wound up on the wrong side of his temper.

        When they jump up to say hello that snout is like a knockout punch to the face.

        I once saw a ten-pound Dachsie send a 90-pound German Shepherd about his business with that cute little jump- when she chomped his nose.

        Dachshunds are the Klingons of the canine world. Their “fight or flight” response does not have a “flight” setting.

        And their opinion of anything other than their “family” intruding on their turf is “Today is a Good Day to Die”.

        Our old Dachsie at 16 is the wisest most affectionate dog I’ve ever known; he can communicate better than most people, his instinct kicks in when a ne’er do well comes around and he barks his big bellowy bark at them until they leave or I come to check out the intruder…otherwise just wants to sleep, eat, take rides in the truck and nighttime walks with Papa looking for the old black bear who meanders out of the state park next door looking for picnic baskets or trash cans; so far all we have found is a couple of perfectly symmetrical pyramids of round bear poop turds…

        16 equates to 80 in dachshund years and he has his back problems including surgery a while back and skin issues like most of them do, but then again by the time I’m 80 I’ll have been dead several years…

        Old Ozzy; what a good boy.

        Y’all better be careful talking about Dachsies, I could go on for hours about mine. Eon is right about Dachs being the Klingons of the dog world.

      many years ago, Mom had just had one of the little ones. She put her to bed in a drop down crib, back when those were still legal. Our beagle/cocker mix, herself heavily pregnant, slid under the dropped down side, which I wouldn’t have believed she could have done even without a full payload of pups. They know who are theirs to protect.

    Even if some or all of law enforcement (700,000 max) or the military (1,400,000 Regular, 800,000 Guard and Reserve) go over to the Dark Side, the Progtards still won’t have the numbers to take on 140 million Citizens with more than 400 million firearms, and a few trillion rounds of ammunition.

    But never underestimate their stupidity, they will still give it a go, because like the Joker (BLM, ANTIFA, et al) they just want to see it all burn.

    The biggest threat will be the 20 million or so people so addicted to a variety of substances, legal and illicit, from caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, to meth, opioids, and crack, that their sole focus will be on doing whatever it takes to get their next fix.

    The first 72 hours will be a charnel house and a primary mission will be minimizing the collateral damage as these zombies off themselves in pursuit of feeding their habit.

      Their excuses for their excesses don’t hold up.

      For instance, the SPLC is “alarmed” that there are (according to them) 5,000 members of the KKK in the United States.

      There are probably that many members of the International Plastic Modelers’ Society in the state of Ohio, alone, to judge by the number of “Buckeyes” alone who show up for the IPMS annual convention in Columbus, OH every February.

      If you add up the Klan, the ANP, and etc., they probably equal maybe ten percent of the American membership of the Society for Creative Anachronism, to judge from Pennsic War every August.

      I don’t know how to break this to the progressives, but not everybody who disagrees with them wears a hood or a hakenkreuzer.

      And we have them and the white hood crowd outnumbered.

I have no doubt they’ll be immediately recruited by the city governments they already have a working relationship with. The FIB estimates their numbers as 1.4 Million.

    I hope this is not too long, but can’t resist posting it:
    ————
    George Gamow, in a book called “Thirty Years That Shook Physics” about the development of quantum physics wrote this personal anecdote about the Father of quantum physics, Niels Bohr and it is priceless. Bohr led the Bohr Institute in Copenhagen (only re-named after him in 1965) and was much beloved by the scientists he gathered at the institute during those years, almost as a father to his children, says Gamow. In the passage, Gamow mentions how much of the quantum physics work was done late at night along with the “casual” schedules (ie, virtually none — you worked and went home whenever you liked):
    —————
    …But still everybody made some progress in work, especially in the evening, which is the most inspiring time for theoretical physicists. This evening work in the Institute’s library was often interrupted by Bohr, who would say that he was very tired and would like to go to the movies.

    The only movies he liked were wild Westerns (Hollywood style), and he always needed a couple of his students to go with him and explain the complicated plots involving friendly and hostile Indians, brave cowboys and desperados, sheriffs, barmaidens, gold-diggers, and other characters of the Old West.

    But his theoretical mind showed even in these movie expeditions. He developed a theory to explain why although the villain always draws first, the hero is faster and manages to kill him. This Bohr theory was based on psychology. Since the hero never shoots first, the villain has to decide when to draw, which impedes his action.

    The hero, on the other hand, acts according to a conditioned reflex and grabs the gun automatically as soon as he sees the villain’s hand move. We disagreed with this theory, and the next day I went to a toy store and bought two guns in Western holders. We shot it out with Bohr, he playing the hero, and he “killed” all his students.
    —————
    Ok, ok, it’s just that the reserve that Zed seems to be exhibiting in the strip in the first panel after the dawg’s revelation just made me think he is that “hero” waiting for the “villain” to draw first. (Hopefully Jack is wiser than that. We’ll see…)

      Great story about a brilliant man.

      There are no impulse functions in nature. “What comes before” (e.g. the waggle by a professional golfer before the swing) matters.

      A Naval Aviator in his late 20s stopped by the paraloft of the Reserve Aggressor squadron to drop off updated knee board cards for their upcoming mission flying against his squadron. He was amazed to see a bunch of Reservists in their late 3os and early 40s, who were mostly airline pilots in their regular jobs, “stretching like they were getting ready to play in the Super Bowl.”

      When he asked why, the Aggressor Flight Lead replied: “Because we want to win.”

      Bohr was correct. Speaking as an ex-crime lab guy, I learned in abnormal psychology that statistically, the first man to “draw” lost 97% of all “gunfights”.

      Wyatt Earp made the same observation. In the O.K. Corral incident, every member of the Clanton faction drew first. Earp had his revolver (a Smith & Wesson .45 “Schofield”, not a Colt) in his coat pocket, and he still managed to get off the first shot.

      Earp also said that the experienced “pistoleer” watched his opponent’s eyes, not his gun hand. There was and is a distinct change when the decision to strike has been made, and experience can teach how to detect it.

      cheers

        Shooter 2.0

        First of all, Wyatt Earp was mentioned in an article for using a Smith and Wesson “American” which was a .44 caliber with a heeled bullet similar to a .22. Schofields were a military firearm and sold to the army. Secondly, Billy Clanton and Wyatt Earp fired together as the opening shots. Then there was a pause. Wyatt had singled out Frank McLaury for being the most dangerous so Wyatt picked him out, shooting him in the stomach. Billy fired at Wyatt and missed. There is no evidence Frank had drawn first. Perhaps during the slight pause, Ike Clanton ran up to Wyatt, inadvertently shielding Wyatt and showed he was unarmed and stated as such. Wyatt told Ike to “get to fighting or get away”. All of that during a thirty second gunfight which spilled into the street. So the person who tried to kill the Earps, accidentally saved one and since Wyatt didn’t kill Ike that swayed Judge Spizer to release the Earps and Holiday from further prosecution.

    Witness recent events up here where the ‘local police’ (and the federal ones) were only too willing to trample the rights of the populace because that’s all they’ll hire now, steroid driven low IQ gym monkeys who can’t wait to ‘see some action’ and would have been fired long before their probationary period was over when I started but now are commended for doing little potato’s dirty work for him. Far too many officers aren’t the ones that used to ‘serve and protect’ anymore, they’re not hired to do that, they’re hired to ‘enforce’ and if they have to make the laws up on the spot then they eagerly do. They make no distinction between gangbanger or housewife and relish the thought of attacking either, preferable the unarmed ones who don’t fight back and ‘respect authority’.

      Did see what I thought to be a fully semi-automatic pistol butt carried left-side cross-draw. But frankly, that’s no more notable than the fact that Zed is wearing pants. I would certainly expect a pistol (two or three) as part of his EDC carry. Even my slovenly self, nowhere near the lofty rating of Low Speed – High Drag, is carrying a compact 9mm with a reload as I read the comics in my Spaced Coast home.

      Oooooopps – Wrong again! Not a (traditional) pistol, but a personal protection weapon in a rifle caliber, slung over shoulder single point. Something like a SIG Rattler with a vertical foregrip that would make it (if ATF “legal”) an SBR. I await further education.

        If Zed wanted a “firepower demonstration” that had a lasting impact on Jack, he would have Naomi do it, after she called Zed “Boss.”

        With ‘Toly by Jack’s side doing the Tim Conway deadpan commentary:

        “You know, she broke my nose once….”

        (Long pause)

        “I got off light on that one….”

    When all these pheromones get aligned with the phases of the moon, Zed, Jack, ‘Toly, Travis, and probably Mo (Jeff) will be hiding out in a Man Cave in the barn drinking Shiner Bock and watching sports highlights and old action movies, waiting for the storm to pass, and trying to get Amazon and Fedex to make bulk deliveries of dark chocolate, flowers, and single barrel tequila up to the houses.
