If there are any transgender persons in LA who want to arm themselves and train themselves for self-defense in anticipation of an impending pogrom when the GOP seizes power, here is my advice. As you can see I am well trained myself... #BePrepared 🏳️⚧️
Auto pistols come in 3 sizes: full for the house/car, compact for carry with adequate clothing to conceal, and subcompact for summer attire. I always suggest starting with a Glock 9mm or .40 SW. Glocks are the Honda Civic of guns: reliable, user friendly, and easily modified.
Everyone should own an AR-15. It is the best design with the least recoil. User friendly and easy to modify, with a smorgasbord of aftermarket parts available. In CA must have a fixed stock, no foregrip or flash hider, & CA legal grip. Must be MIL-SPEC at minimum. $600-1200~

Relevanz von Strassenunterbrechungen: "Solche Strassenunterbrüche sind auch für die Einsatzkräfte von hoher Relevanz, wie das Beispiel des Starkregens in #Zofingen im Juli 2017 eindrücklich belegt: Die #SBB Linie Olten-Luzern trennt die Stadt in zwei Teile."
"Beim Starkregenereignis wurden alle Bahnunterführungen überflutet, sodass die Stadtteile voneinander abgeschnitten waren. Das hatte weitreichende Folgen:"
#Notgepäck, #Notfallrucksack, #Fluchtrucksack oder #BugOutBag, es gibt viele verschiedene Begriffe für ein fertig gepacktes und griffbereites Gepäckstück, welches in einem Notfall durch die ersten Stunden oder Tage helfen soll. Die Behörden in der #Schweiz, #Deutschland, (1/10) 
#Österreich und vielen anderen Ländern empfehlen denn auch im Sinne der #Krisenvorsorge ein solches Notgepäck zu erstellen. Dafür werden nützliche Checklisten angeboten, welche in Broschüren oder auf Webseiten zu finden sind. (2/10) bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vor…
Doch wie so oft liegt das kleine "Projekt" auf der langen Bank, auf welche man es geschoben hat. Gerade keine Zeit, viel zu tun und viele andere Gründe lassen das Vorhaben Staub ansetzen. Dabei ist - zumindest der erste Schritt - schnell erledigt. (3/10)
Early this year, I lost a chance to make a total of N300k simply because of two things:
(1) Ignorance, I lacked the right info.
(2) I looked down on my capabilities. Nothing more.
(1) Ignorance, I lacked the right info.
(2) I looked down on my capabilities. Nothing more.
You see in this life, there is nothing like having the right information/experience or having higher people you can consult especially when it comes to finance.
Never look down on your abilities or capabilities, there are a lot of people that are overwhelmed by your capabilities but there you’re thinking you’re not worth much. You’re worth everything you deserve.
