Current Thoughts

WELCOME TO THE NO BS ZONE OF TEDDY JACOBSON


I have decided to do a little different kind of commentary but first I want to thank everyone for the vast number of emails that I am getting. I am a different breed of person that not only can "NOT" be bought but I have lived my life according to a code of honor that was instilled in me by my father all my life until he went to the other side. I do not want to be politically correct or be obligated to anyone or any organization or whatever. "IT IS WHAT IT IS" I can not change a thing, all I can do is play with the cards I have been dealt and play it straight with everyone that I come in contact with.


I am advising every one of you not to buy a used gun that you are not completely sure about whether it has been worked on by some part time GURU. Stay away from the old Colt revolvers, only because its very hard to find some one that knows how to work on them but also the fact that older Colt parts are hard to find. When you do find older Colt parts the cost is sky high. Buying a used Colt Python is not a good idea. I would suggest you do not buy old Colt Pony's or their Pocket 9 series. Just trying to find a new extractor for a Mustang or a Pony is quite a problem. Buying a Star handgun is not a good idea as parts will be a problem. Buying a handgun that is no longer made and you think you are getting a super buy may wind up being your best paper weight.


I still have not seen any McCormick triggers, well that 2 weeks has turned into 2 months and I still want to know where are the McCormick triggers being made and where have they gone. Don't you see we are being fed a bunch of BS. You like Bendable TABS, I know how to cut TABS on any trigger, its just time consuming, but all these years I used a rivet system with special tooling and silver soldered every joint. I do not mind buying the Dlask trigger but its expensive, but so what, if you need a trigger buy Dlask or use a Greider or King Trigger for your 1911 problems, do not know how to set the take up, get out of the 1911 business cause you are jepardizing the reliability of the 1911 pistol you are working on.


There are many nice and very smart old time gunsmiths that call me all the time and we exchange information all the time and I help them and they educate me on problems they have solved and I am very grateful for this association with them. I would never talk with people that have bought their reputation with advertising money as we have nothing in common. I do not want to be anyones man of the year, I just want to be known for who and what I really am as so many lives have depended on me and that has always been a major concern of mine, NOT TO EVER LET THEM DOWN. At this point in time I really do not do near the amount of work that I have in the past.


I have tried to get my son to take more of an interest in what I do but he does know a lot but has other interests. My son Charles is a professional Wrestler and he wrestles under the name of David Stahr. If you go to www.wowtexas.com
you will find a link so you can see for your self. Do I like this idea ?? not really, but the choice has always been his. I can not tell people what to do.


I think at this point in time we should talk about the various ways of carrying a handgun but most important is why. This is a world gone mad and events are beyond any of our control. I had a kid come to the door the other day trying to sell me something, was on a long distance phone call, I was alone with my 2 dawgs and they went crazy. I had a gun in my pocket as I always do, I answered the door and waved the kid off and he got very hostile, I could never handle these two dawgs with one free hand and I had to close the door but I could hear this kid going off at the mouth. After my brief conversation on the phone I went out to find this kid to speak with him but he was already on the next block out of sight. What I am saying is that you never know what you are up against. One of my dawgs alone is 85 lbs and shes tough. These people today do not have the first clue to be street smart and be careful. Had I not been street wise living in Brooklyn 18 years, I would be dead. Its really that simple.


When I tell you its time to prepare for hard times, its very clear to me the hand writing is on the wall. Before I explain that statement let me suggest you get your priorities in order for the supplies you need now. This survival game is the real deal and not just an imaginary rabbit named Harvey. If you do not take me serious you may never live to regret it. I live in the Houston, Texas area and I am 50 miles away from the refineries which are a major target. I can not do the first thing about that, I like it here and what will be, will be, but I can prepare for any eventuality with in reason.


The hospitals here are constantly giving their key emergency room employees classes on chemical warfare and how to prepare and what to do. I know this because my wife is one of those key employees in the local hospital. I can guarantteee you that the major cities in this country are not going to tell you how many body bags they are buying or where they are stored. They will not discuss things like this, just ask a para medic in your area what they know about this subject. You may not like the answers you get, but deal with it.


When you want to legally carry a handgun, after you have complied with the laws of your state, you must select the best possible handgun for your way of life and get the finest holster you can afford. I personally carry my Glock on the dry side because my barrel has a baked finish that is self lubricating. I seldom change magazines but its a good idea to rotate your magaines so that your springs do not take a set too badly. All springs take a set. personally I do not carry extra magazines on my person but I do think its a good idea to carry a second handgun in your vehicle as long as you comply with the law. I prefer to keep a very high capacity handgun in the vehicle, like 16 rounds of hell.


I have found that using an Alessi velcro belt has helped me a great deal as I have lost so much weight. My choice of ammo is based on what I like and I also speak with Stephen Camp who knows a great deal about current production ammunition. I follow his advice. I also like to ask Terry Murbach what he likes as hes a real pro when it comes to ammunition also. I really do take advice from professionals like this very seriously. My friend Mr. Taylor who is the Vice President of Operations for the Cheytac company has a new line of exotic ammunition. You can see their site at www.cheytac.com
You must listen to people that can help you as they do have a great deal of experience.


My experience has always been with the internal actions on handguns, and no one can ever fool me about this subject. I could tell you horror stories about what I have seen done to handguns, but the reason I do not go into detail is that I would have to name the persons name that did the work and they would deny it immediately. BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH. I know how incompetant some of these people really are but that is as far as I will go today about this subject. Just ask some one if they ever had their handgun ruined by a SMITH and then ask them who did the work OR what shop it came out of because it could not only have been an employee, the actual work could have been sub contracted out as is often the case.


Owning and carrying a very good knife is just as important to me as having a handgun. Money is basically never a deciding factor for me when purchasing a very good knife be it a folder or a sheath knife. I mainly own folding knives and I have lost faith in many of the liner locks as I had a customer in here about a year ago that had a terrible scar on his one finger. I asked him what happened and he said that his liner lock folder closed on his finger and he almost lost that finger. This was a very well known brand of knife you would recognize immediately but I will not write the name because they would only deny it. I have a lot of faith in carrying a very sharp neck knife and when I was out last nite for 1 hour I had it around my neck. Its a priority with me. When I was young I practiced with knives in the Karate schools and they are very lethal.


To Sum it all up I want to go back to current event and make you aware of many things you may or may not be aware of. It is my personal opinion that the only reason we have not yet been attacked is that the Feds have prevented it up till now with their improved efficiency and dedication. If they slip up one time, it will be one disaster. At this point in time this world is in worse shape than ever before in my lifetime. All these wackos want to join the Nuclear club and with money they are buying their way into this club, money talks and BS walks.


The North Koreans are unpredictable and we do not know what they have placed in underground tunnels going into South Korea. India and Pakistan are two unknowns that will eventually nuke each other over Kashmir. Our good friend PUTIN of Russia is selling and arming the Islamic nations especially Iran. This is all coming to a head, each day we get closer to the nitemare scenario. The US and the Israelis are not going to let Iran become a nuclear power, as I write this the US is sending the carrier group the Carl Vinson (spelling may be wrong) to the middle east waters with nuclear support weapons in route. The Israelis have lost the will to fight to win because their leaders can not be trusted, the people are at their mercy and big trouble is coming. The Israelis have set up a mock Iranian nuclear sight and are practicing taking out the Iranian sight with all the Russian Technicians and Engineers that are rushing to complete.


The Israelis have just purchased over 100 of the latest F16 (I) planes that will not only have Israeli electronics on it but they have been equipped with extra fuel tanks in order to reach Iran and back without refueling. The Israelis have just purchased 500 of the latest 3 rd generation bunker buster bombs in order to destroy the Iranian site. This is a fraction of what is going on.


In Europe the state of affairs could not be worse. Germany is in crisis as unemployment is sky high and conditions are like they were in 1933 when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. The facist Nazi party is on the rise and getting stronger by the day. You never hear this from the liberal press, WHY ?? I do not know. These EU countries have allowed the influx of foreigners into their country for years, especially Germany, France and England. Its all coming apart at the seams and with no money you will see Germany lean toward the Pro Nazi element. When and thats not if, but when Germany becomes a Nuclear club member what are we in for. I have no idea but it does not look good.


I have not even touched on the rise of China and there new close alliance with Japan and Russia. China is capable of raising an army of OVER 350 MILLION MEN. This is not a joke, this is serious business. I honestly do like President Bush (43) but it beyond my comprehension to believe he will ever bring democracy to Islamic nations that want to be ruled by ISLAM. ITS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT OIL, POWER AND MONEY. There are about 160 countries in this world and this world is now consuming 81 million barrels of crude oil every day and its going up daily because the people in India and China are tired of using their bicycles. They are starting to buy more and more cars.
There are 400 by products that are made out of crude oil. We could not have plastic as we know it without the use of oil.


I have not even scratched the surface of what I can write but you now get the idea. Do you think the world really cares about women wearing burkas, thats there way of life and we are in the end times. Research the Bible Code on the Google search engine. It only works on the five books of MOSES.


So when I say take responsibility and prepare for the difficult days ahead I am telling you what I truly believe. Prepare for hard times now, get a list of items you need. WRITE IT DOWN OR USE A TAPE RECORDER.
SEAL YOUR PRIMERS AND ALWAYS KEEP YOUR BIBLE IN A SAFE PLACE.
