Chris T in KY,

You make a very good point about combat in general. If you expect to be part of a squad going door-to-door in Fallujah, you certainly want rifle combat training and a semi-automatic rifle chambered in an intermediate or full-house centerfire caliber. If you want the ability to effectively send an occupation force packing, then you probably need a totally different approach, such as you mentioned. Choose wisely.

For reference a potentially superior choice to a compact rifle chambered in .22 LR is a carbine or a so-called “short barreled rifle” chambered in .300 AAC Blackout–loaded with sub-sonic ammunition and sporting a suppressor at the muzzle. THAT is about as stealthy as you can get and yet it has VASTLY SUPERIOR terminal performance compared to .22 LR. That platform will have any occupying force praying for a hasty exit from your community.

General Patton was very correct!!!

“As far as fighting goes. I don’t need to fight them head-on.”

I encountered an ANTIFA-wanna-be once who, in a threatening/aggressive manner, confronted me and asked loudly if I was willing to die to defend my beliefs in being conservative.

My answer was: “I don’t need to be willing to die to defend my beliefs. I just need to be willing to let you die for your beliefs, and I’ll be happy to help out with that.”

confrontation over, he and cohorts immediately left the area without another word.

The Chechens were very effective against the Russians as city snipers. Using 22lr rifles.

Because a 22lr report is a lot less than a 5.56. And a 22 suppressed can’t be heard.

As far as fighting goes. I don’t need to fight them head-on. If you harass them enough they will eventually leave the area.

But you will spend a great deal of money for this Class and the required long guns.

The so called “experts” don’t want to teach you how to fight with revolvers and small caliber long guns.

You go to war with what you have. Not what you wish you had.
