        Or this. My goal is to get people who are not already connected to their communities involved. The more resources communities have, the better they can respond to the coming actions and displaced people.

          The powers that be barely know we exist. As to what I’m doing? Totally unrelated, but here’s tonight’s project. $150 fold-down, (legal) sawed off, single-shot 12-gauge.

          • Dropped the trigger pull with the turn of a screw. Gods, worst trigger I ever touched.
          • Cut it down to 18.75"
          • Dabbed the safety with gel nail polish (can’t be too sure!)
          • Found an old recoil pad, threaded it with old leather shoelaces, loaded 5 pads in it (I’m a wuss, and I’m skinny).
          • Got a 6-shell holder off eBay, the kind you screw on the stock. Meh? We’ll see how it works IRL.
          • Glued a spot of fiber on the front sight well.

          Still figuring out a red-dot sight/adapter and some more wood/metal work to make it fold tighter. Should be a solid backpack gun when done.

          On an unrelated note, it shocking the hell you can unload with a single-shot, with very little practice. Also, 12-gauge ammo is stupid cheap. (Did I say that out loud?!)

          On another unrelated note, ordered two more 10-round mags for my AR-15. Hell, Democrats want to make standard 30-round mags illegal? Fine. I prefer 10 and 20 round mags for weight and reliability. Ugh. Force me to buy more reliable and usable gear. The horror…
