The post Walther’s Forgotten SMG: The MPK (and MPL) first appeared on Forgotten Weapons.
At the scene, deputies interviewed a homeowner who had called 911 earlier to report an unknown male was walking with a rifle in their backyard. One of the suspects in the shooting allegedly was carrying a rifle at the time of the shooting.
Deputies were then notified that two other men with gunshot wounds had arrived at local hospitals. The two men, identified as Daquan Lewis Benjamin, 20, and Devin Moultrie, 19, were confirmed to be suspects in the shooting.
Benjamin and Moultrie allegedly led the victim to believe they were making an online purchase. Instead of a transaction of goods, the suspects attempted to rob the victim at gunpoint and then shot at the victim. Although hit by gunfire, the victim returned gunfire in defense, striking both Benjamin and Moultrie.
A 60-year-old man returning a borrowed ladder to a residence near Douglas Avenue and Paterson Street said a 49-year-old man approached him, told him to leave then hit him with a snow shovel, according to Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) officers.
The 60-year-old used his legally owned and registered handgun to fire two rounds, hitting the 49-year-old once. He then called 911 and waited for officers to arrive.
Both men had minor injuries from the altercation and the 49-year-old is in the hospital in stable condition.

This is one of the most lovely carols ever recorded.
A homeowner who shot and killed one of four men suspected of breaking into his home in Richmond Heights on Saturday told CBS News Miami that it was the "scariest moment" of his life....Miami-Dade Fire Rescue came to the scene and rushed the injured suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Quanterry Alvin Whitley, to the hospital, where he later died....CBS News Miami spoke with Lashundia Jackson, the mother of Whitley. She said the homeowner should never have fired his weapon.I would like to say he did not do a home invasion. That is inaccurate. That is not who he is. That is not who he was. He would not do that. He was not that type of person," Jackson said of her son." [Stupid names emphasized]
I’ve seen several recent news reports describing criminals using fire as a weapon. This year there have been at least 10 such incidents reported in the United States.

Take a look at the following news stories: Virginia councilman […]What the hell is going on down there? I'm seeing reporting that Trump has closed the airspace over the country and that there is an aircraft carrier battle group steaming close by.
Also, the Seditious Six are going crazy. Something about a drug boat that took two strikes to kill.
I also heard one report that Maduro has un-assed the country, heading toward Brazil, but that was unconfirmed. I also heard reports of B-52s and B-2s sortieing. Seems like it is getting kind of sporty down there.
It reminds me of the runup to Panama back in 1989. That was in December, too, come to think of it.

Use poetry. No, really:
In a new paper, “Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models,” researchers found that turning LLM prompts into poetry resulted in jailbreaking the models
...Poetic framing achieved an average jailbreak success rate of 62% for hand-crafted poems and approximately 43% for meta-prompt conversions (compared to non-poetic baselines), substantially outperforming non-poetic baselines and revealing a systematic vulnerability across model families and safety training approaches.
Whoops. Looks, this is a new class of attack (seriously, I've been in this biz for a long time and have never seen weaponized verse before), so maybe we need to cut folks some slack here. But I'm somewhat less inclined to do so with AI's track record of falling for 30 year old attacks.

"From day 21 to day 100 in a nursing facility, Medicare continues to contribute towards in-patient rehabilitation, but coinsurance payments are typically required from you. Additional coverage for days 21 through 100 depends on your Medicare supplemental or Medicare Advantage plans.
"Once you reach day 101 or plateau in rehab, Medicare coverage for nursing home care ceases. You are responsible for all costs (easily $300-500 per day in Florida) unless you have additional insurance policies or qualify for other programs such as Medicaid. This can be a critical juncture, necessitating a review of your financial resources and possibly the need to explore alternative long-term care options."

Slinging lead on the range or loading up your defensive pistol with the right ammo, here are our picks for the Best 9mm Range & Self-Defense Ammo!The Marion Police Department said a juvenile male arrived at an area hospital around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 29 with a single gunshot wound to the back of his head, with the bullet lodged just under the skin.
Police said the juvenile told them that he was in a car at the intersection of 2nd and Hill streets when he heard gunshots, saw the glass window in the car shatter and felt something hit his head.
The juvenile told police he told the driver of the car that he was shot, and the driver tried to drive away but wasn't able to due to the road conditions.
The juvenile told police the driver then got out of the car and started to shoot in the direction where the shots were coming from, and then drove the juvenile to the hospital.
Officers responded to the 4000 block of Urban Avenue around 9:15 p.m. on November 29. The preliminary investigation revealed two people fired at each other across multiple nearby locations.
One man was struck several times by gunfire. Officers found him at the scene and placed him under arrest.
Dallas Fire-Rescue transported the wounded man to a local hospital. He was listed in stable condition.
Police have not released the identities of those involved in the shootout. The motive behind the exchange of gunfire remains unclear.

NEW from Magpul is the RXM Full-size grip! After a year of waiting, it's finally arrived! Sub-compact grip coming soon?? Details inside!Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett, the Virgin Islands’ non-voting member of Congress, garnered headlines recently when it came to light that she took direction from sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.
Her relationship with Epstein is especially notable because Plaskett herself had “private nude images” of her stolen by her own ex-staffers, who used them to attempt to sabotage her re-election campaign. The husband of one of the culprits was, like Epstein, later found dead.

First, they canceled the Little Crappy Shops (LCS) program as not fit for purpose. Now it's the Constellation class Frigate program that gets the axe:
By 2024, the first ship of the class was 36 months behind schedule, with the second already considered two years behind before its keel was even laid. The plan, as I mentioned before, was to retain roughly 85% of the FREMM frigate design to expedite production, but by that point, the Constellation design retained only about 15% of its parent design. This caused a cascade of other issues, like the need to write new code for a reported 95% of the ship’s control system software due to deviations from the FREMM design it came from, and the incorporation of new equipment and systems.
The Constellation-class frigate seemed to suffer from a classic case of scope-creep, a term used to describe a program that keeps seeing new requirements tacked onto it as it develops, resulting in cost overruns and delays. As one lawmaker put it, the Navy kept chasing a 100% solution to the point where they ended up with 0% of the ship being delivered.
There's more here from the Tech Press, so this is getting attention.
As Yogi Berra once said, if you don't know where you're going you'll end up somewhere else. SECNAV should see to it that the Program Management Office finds itself somewhere else - preferably not working for the Navy. Pour encourager les autres ...

A woman being questioned told officers the person who initiated the shooting from the sidewalk was her boyfriend, Keontay Miller. She told them that she and Miller had an argument, and Miller had slapped her. Others tried to get Miller to leave, and he threw one of them down a flight of stairs.
The woman told officers that Miller left, then came back yelling that he was going to shoot her. Another person present said Miller was standing on the southwest corner sidewalk when he pulled a gun and opened fire at the apartment's balcony, with no care for the adults or children that were inside.
The affidavit says another person told officers they fired shots back at Miller in self defense, and that Miller kept shooting as he made his way to the car he was seen leaving in. That person then told officers where they would find their gun in a backpack. Officers took the gun and the casings they found.

“What ‘multiculturalism’ boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture – and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.” – Thomas Sowell
The post The Editors’ Quote Of The Day: appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
'Earlier this year, Utah became the first state in the country to pass legislation allowing people to purchase and install small, portable solar panels that plug into a standard wall socket.
"When attached outside to the balcony or patio of a dwelling, such panels can provide enough power for residents to run free of charge, home appliances such as fridges, dishwashers, washing machines and wi-fi without spending money on electricity from the grid."
The output of the micro inverter is a 110VAC plug so the current goes into your existing wiring feeding anything plugged in to other outlets on that breaker.
Theoretically, anything that can feed power back into the grid needs an interrupter to protect electric utility workers in the event their side is down. It appears these changes in state laws would allow PV systems producing low voltages to be hooked up to the house wiring. This is attractive for its simplicity and relatively low cost.
Anyone have any knowledge to share?
