I HIT 42 MPG !!!!!


I usually don't continue the same blog, but I am so happy with my purchase that thought I would give you a little more insight to my ride. I have slightly altered my driving habits and am now getting 42mpg in town in my Camry! I have read where some people get 50 mpg in town so I will continue to try and achieve this. This car truly teaches you to drive a little more conservatively and I must say I am enjoying it. I am also enjoying all the people thinking that I am doing such a great thing for our mother Earth (truth be told I am doing this to save some GREEN - green money) but it's nice to know I am burning less fuel in the process.

LaserMax



Every once in a while I come across something that makes me go "WOW! I should have gotten this a long time ago." The LaserMax for my Glock 23 is one the best purchases I have made in a long time. I finally got to try it out this past weekend and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. The ease of use was great and the fact that it is built into the gun instead of a bulky laser attached underneath. Not to mention you can still attach a flashlight if you want. This product gets a big thumbs up from me. I'm getting ready to order one for my Glock 22 now.

Top of the line. Extremely rugged, lightweight and completely internal. Widely adopted by SWAT, Special Forces, Federal Agencies, Presidential Security Services, and many other top tier forces. Also available to civilians for personal protection.

Completely internal! Keep your holster, keep your tact lights, keep your favorite grips.

Extremely rugged. LaserMax internal guide rods meet or exceed both Mil-Spec and Homeland Security durability test standards (drop tests, blowing sand, temperature and humidity extremes, salt water fog, deep water immersion, 20,000+ rounds live fire).

Installation takes minutes. If you can field-strip your gun, you can install your LaserMax sight—No gunsmithing required.

Hi-Vis Pulsating Beam. Pulsating gives effortless awareness of muzzle direction, transcends language barriers. Can be used outdoors from dusk till dawn, or indoors round-the-clock. IR versions optimized for NVG characteristics.

Alignment. The Internal Guide Rod lasers come permanently aligned from the factory* for center-of-mass accuracy at 20 yards. It will never drift out of alignment. There is no need to re-zero after changing batteries.
*1911 models are user-adjustable to accommodate variations in frames from different manufacturers.

Accuracy. As close to the bore of the firearm as possible, positioning allows for the closest and most consistent relationship between your point of aim and point of impact (POA/POI) over all shooting distances. Especially useful for moving targets.

Turn it on! Ambidextrous switch in custom take-down lever. Deliberate on/off activation—highly desirable in a tactical or personal defense situation!

Batteries Powered by watch or hearing aid batteries, easily found in grocery, pharmacy and electronics stores (e.g., Radio Shack). Also available from LaserMax.

NON Lethal Force


Recently a co-worker of mine found herself in a situation where she really needed some sort of defense but didn't really want to use lethal force. I have been doing some research and found the perfect solution using a mace-type product, but with a lot more kick.

Life Act JPX Jet Protector by Kimber

The new JPX Jet Protector® is the most functional and powerful hand-held OC delivery system available today. The conventional design speeds training and ensures accurate solution delivery, and a pyrotechnic drive launches near pharmaceutical grade OC solution at 270 MPH. Magazines are available in a standard or SelfClean model that can reach out to distances of 21 feet. Each magazine contains two charges with a much larger payload than the Guardian Angel, and quickly snaps on the frame. The power of each payload combined with reloading makes the JPX extremely effective for crowd control, and the conventional double action only trigger automatically resets to fire the other charge. Orange or black frames are available, and an integral laser sight is optional.
  • Instantly incapacitates an assailant.
  • Revolutionary non-aerosol propulsion.
  • Jet delivery minimizes cross-contamination.
  • Each magazine contains two powerful blasts.
  • Reloading is both easy and fast.
