Should An Aging Parent Transfer the House to Her Kids?
This Virginia attorney writes a very good article summarizing some of the problems of transferring real estate to a child as an alternative to actual estate planning. Capital gains tax due to loss of basis step-up, medicaid lookback (California’s medi-cal...Ash scattering at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion a regular spectre
There are lots of ways to die embarrassed. Bad estate planning is one example; see the category above for others. Nothing can top being trampled for eternity while listening to bad puns! Seriously, have you given thought to the ultimate disposition of your remains? Do...FBI report left out HALF of 2014-17 cases where armed citizen stopped active shooter
HALF!? This is far too great an omission to be accidental. This false report has been used to minimize the importance of carry (including at an “active shooter” class i took, given by an anti-CCW former cop). The utility of concealed carry is much higher...Notes from Handgun Combat Master Prep
Here are a few notes from my first experience with Handgun Combat Master Prep (HCMP) in a 9/26-27 private training at Front Sight, having recently qualified to take it. (They require that you first take Advanced Tactical Handgun (ATH), and to take ATH you must...California’s new Uniform Trust Decanting Act brings Opportunity, Risk
California recently (9/14/18) joined a few other states that have enacted the Uniform Trust Decanting Act. A lot of states have decanting statutes, several dozen in fact, but they vary greatly and this uniform act is more restrictive than those in some of the more...Chicago rag: “One brave rescue of a Cicero cop doesn’t justify concealed guns”
Amazing. After decades of advocating gun control “if it saves one life” while ignoring millions of defensive gun uses, the leftist media actually inks a headline braying that one cop — saved by an armed citizen who joined the fray —...Study: 17.25 million concealed handgun permits, biggest increases for women and minorities (as violence drops)
Huge increase in CCW’s issued nationwide, and that’s great! But how often are those with permits actually carrying? One of the advantages of open carry is that you know which neighbors meet their duty of carrying, and you can see if they are doing...Virgin Brett Executes Hail Mary, Crushing Feminazi Snakes
https://youtu.be/wHfoUWg3zw0 You can tell Brett Kavanaugh’s “virgin defense” is effective — just look how it’s belittled by all the media right now, on the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee showdown planned for tomorrow. The fact is,...Aretha Franklin left no will or trust!
We all love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T Aretha for her work and wisdom about life, but she “died embarrassed” in at least one respect: no estate plan! There is so much potential to harm family when one fails to plan properly. She clearly had time to plan, and was...Can Courts Bless a Trustee’s Decision?
I hope the spread of this doctrine is halted in the US (it’s already popular offshore). The privacy and testamentary control of trusts is a vital bulwark of family power and therefore freedom. Giving courts power to “bless” is a camel’s...Feinstein claims millions of ARs not in “common use” and “hundreds of school shootings using assault weapons…in recent history”
A people trained to arms would be laughing hysterically at this: Feinstein next took issue with a dissent that Judge Kavanaugh had written in a case that upheld a D.C. “assault weapon” ban similar to the expired federal law. Specifically, she chided him for...Financial Planning in the Age of Dementia
This article is a good overview, written by a financial advisor. However, note that powers of attorney only deal with non-trust assets and are frequently rejected by institutions so be sure that your trust is funded and adequately plans for incapacity as well...Pope Francis covered up McCarrick abuse while McCarrick helped him select bishops, former US nuncio testifies
Birds of a feather flock together, socialist rats travel in packs… ROME, August 25, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — What you are about to read is an explosive testimony of the former apostolic nuncio to the United States, implicating Pope Francis and several senior...California Gun Trust? Buyer Beware!
[UPDATE: For the last three years (since August 2016) I have not generally recommended the lifetime funding of gun trusts in California. Passage of AB 1292 in July 2019 has significantly enabled and clarified use of gun trusts — however, there are limits under the new...Article on Study Claiming Tattoos Help Job Seekers Gets 162 “Thumbs Down” and Only One Like (Last Count)
I call BS on this study — based on the number of “thumbs down” for the article! It’s no longer taboo to have a tattoo. More companies are shedding their prejudice against employees and job candidates coming in with tattoos, a smart move that’s giving...Video: Front Sight Mid-Year 2018 Construction Progress Update
Get virtually unlimited free training at the world’s largest shooting school (often called the “Disneyland for gun owners”) simply by attending our free estate planning seminars. Here is mid-2018 status of construction (now fifty...Survey: Pet Owners Happier, Wealthier, More Fit Than Non-Owners
“The psychological and emotional benefits of pet ownership are well-known among mental health professionals,” says Sweet. “Having a close bond with a domestic animal can boost ‘feel good’ biochemicals such as endorphins and oxytocin; which can make owners feel...As Venezuela disintegrates, a new breed of pirates threatens the Caribbean
This can happen anywhere but it certainly happens more around socialist cesspools. Never set sail without arming yourself. In April, for instance, masked men boarded four Guyanese fishing boats floating 30 miles off the coast of the South American nation. The...Man arrested at ‘extremist Muslim’ New Mexico compound was training kids to commit school shootings
And “the father” happens to be the son of an imam linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. This has to be the most inept family ever when it comes to transmitting a legacy of terrorism: The father of a missing 3-year-old who was arrested at a...Ninth Circuit strikes Hawaii law that only security guards may get handgun carry permits
Don’t start carrying openly yet — the decision only strike’s a Hawaiian law, and the decision may be overruled en banc although an en banc appeal by Hawaii seems less profitable now with SCOTUS turning more conservative. More litigation is...Trend of trigger-happy police continues, now LAPD admits Trader Joe’s employee killed by LAPD gunfire
A bullet fired by the LAPD killed the Trader Joe’s employee who died during a hostage situation during the weekend, Chief Michael Moore said Tuesday at a news conference. Ballistics tests show that a Los Angeles police officer fired the shot that struck and killed...Two Robbers Attack Woman as She Gets Home, Armed Husband Emerges and Shoots One in Head
Hopefully there was some justification for shooting in the head (other than “I didn’t train enough”): Investigators said it all started when the man’s wife pulled into their driveway Tuesday night. Then the two armed suspects jumped out and tried to...Couple of .45 Gurus Explain Virtue of 9mm
They bring up some very good points in favor of 9mm, but with our CA roster I was limited to .45 if I wanted a quality all-steel Wilson Combat CQB Compact. Suppressor bans are not the only form of gun control causing injury over time. (Have to say, though, that...Incentive Trusts for Nude Family Vacation Travel?
Apparently, nude vacation travel is a thing, at least among progs: It turns out, the “nacation” industry is pretty substantial. For example, a Florida-focused economic study conducted in 2017 by the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and American...Transgender Ax Attacker Says He Was Possessed by Demon Urging Him to ‘Rise Hell on Earth’
Amati said he smoked two joints of cannabis on the balcony, close to where the attack took place. He heard whispered voices after leaving a failed first date and wanted to sleep, but after smoking marijuana, the voices became louder. He took the second joint to...UK thugs hurl acid on 3-year-old boy in carriage outside store, cause serious burns to face and arms
Witnesses to the horror scene described seeing a woman screaming for help as a “skinny white guy” fled the shop. One shocked onlooker told the Daily Mail the mum was later seen with her head in her hands screaming: ‘My baby, my baby, what have...Roe v Wade reversal would send abortion issue back to states
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Four states — not Kansas or Missouri — already have “trigger laws” that would automatically ban abortion if Roe is overturned, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. Another 17...‘I’m not an isolated case’: Doctor fired for refusing to use trans pronouns speaks out
“I’m not attacking the transgender movement. But, I’m defending my right to freedom of speech, and freedom of belief,” said Mackereth, according to the UK Telegraph. “I don’t believe I should be compelled to use a specific pronoun. I am not setting out to upset...Cody Wilson, 2A group reach settlement with Feds over 3-D printed gun files
A multi-year lawsuit has come to an end in a settlement that will see the U.S. State Department back away from regulating most 3-D gun files. In May 2013, Cody Wilson, through his Austin-based company Defense Distributed, created the Liberator, a nearly...Unarmed artist stabs tourist
Unarmed — as in, has no arms: That Crenshaw is armless and paints using his feet probably has much to do with the attention he gets. But on Tuesday, just after midnight, Miami Beach police say that Crenshaw stabbed one of those tourists. Crenshaw, police...More Protective MAGA Helmets Now Available For Trump Supporters Brave Enough To Go Out In Public
The helmets are said to be “almost guaranteed” to protect any Trump supporter from mobs at the local Whole Foods market, Starbucks, or other place generally considered to be unsafe for conservatives. As a disclaimer on the website reads, “While no helmet can...Franklin Graham: Jimmy Carter ‘absolutely wrong’ about Jesus backing abortion, gay ‘marriage’
Evangelical leader Rev. Franklin Graham took to social media on Tuesday to forcefully denounce former Democrat President Jimmy Carter’s claim that Jesus Christ would embrace same-sex “marriage” and at least some abortions. Source: Franklin Graham: Jimmy Carter...UK’s ex-Ambassador to US has Face Beaten to Pulp by Teen Girl and Boy in London Daylight Robbery
Some think this was payback for pro-Trump statements on heels of Trump’s visit to the UK. Police say it’s just a couple of teeny boppers. Hmmm. Either way, not a good advertisement for British civility. Personally, I’d avoid London like I avoid...Sackler Family Behind Oxycontin Faces Lawsuits Over Opioid Abuse
In at least one sense business succession planning is like planning for guns: you need to make sure beneficiaries are responsible enough to handle the asset. Plus a little asset protection might be a good idea. Putting aside the ultimate outcome of the...Victim stabbed in face by multiple attackers on busy Manhattan street in broad daylight
Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s recent SCOTUS pick, has written that our Second Amendment rights, based on self-defense, apply on the street as well as in the home. And thankfully most states are falling in line with that view. But New York is different – you are...Judge Kethledge Lives the Second Amendment
Here’s MY pick (though i like Barrett, too; Hardiman is also great on Second Amendment but i’m concerned about some of his rulings restricting Fourth Amendment and allowing claims for “gender stereotyping discrimination”): In his personal life,...Implantable defibrillators may cause dilemmas for older patients
Have you addressed this issue in your Advanced Health Care Directive? Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) differ from pacemakers, which control abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate through electrical pulses, whereas...92-year-old refuses assisted living, shoots and kills son
I know, I know: “From my cold dead hands!” But isn’t it better to have a plan worked out with family — for guns, for long term care, for a bunch of things? Blessing had reportedly concealed two pistols in the pockets of her robe and then...Will Anti-Catholic Bigotry Resurface in the Senate?
Certainly problematic for gun grabbers! (Each of the “Heller 5” majority justices was Catholic.) Who can forget the way she badgered Catholic Amy Coney Barrett during her 2017 judicial confirmation hearings? “Dogma and law are two different...Australian shop owner repels axe-wielding robber with tuna cans and Pringles
A stubborn shop-owner has fended off a tomahawk-wielding attempted robber by arming himself … with tins of tuna and tubes of Pringles. Source: Brisbane shop owner pelts tomahawk-wielding attempted robber with tuna cans and Pringles | The West...AR-15 Saves Girl Chased Up Tree by Alligator
Girl could barely hold on to tree, she was up so long (half hour before 911 called). Why didn’t the mother have her own AR, or a pistol? According to the frantic 911 call made by the teen’s mother, there was more than one alligator involved. The...Family Business Succession Planning: Communicate Now, or Never Rest in Peace
It may seem oversimplified, but communication really is paramount to successful succession planning, and it needs to begin when the founders are still in control. This paves the way for properly communicating the founders’s wishes and plans, and will also give...Pastor Shoots, Kills Gun Wielding Carjacker In Walmart Parking Lot
More on the Tumwater incident: “As a volunteer firefighter I have received active shooter training,” George explained. “I was sure what I heard was gunshots.” Police say 44-year old Tim Day went on a shooting and carjacking spree. He tried to carjack a couple...Ireland PM Abandons Common Sense in Ireland’s Catholic Creed
Ireland’s Taoiseach, or prime minister, says even Catholic hospitals will have to start performing abortions. To my mind, slavery has never meant just the spectacle of bodies bent to hard labor in the fields. Free men and women also must toil. That is the...Tumwater, WA: Carjacker dead outside Walmart after 2 citizens draw arms
A couple of weeks ago I took a class covering armed defense in carjackings: Advanced Tactical Handgun (or Driver’s Ed, Front Sight style). Two armed citizens were credited with taking action Sunday after a carjacking suspect went on a rampage in Washington...Two armed citizens fatally shoot Oklahoma restaurant mass shooter
Just imagine, if they’d been carrying their guns instead of having to retrieve them from vehicles, a little girl might still have her colon intact, and another girl might still have use of her hand. Gun control hurts little girls. Juan Carlos Nazario, 35,...Marriage is (literally) good for the heart: study
Compared to people living in spousal union, the divorced, widowed or never married were 42 percent more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and 16 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease, the study found. The risk of dying was likewise elevated for the...ARMED domain jacking: webmaster shoots jacker with jacker’s gun
Handgun Combat Webmaster?

He demanded that Ethan Deyo, 26, get on his computer...Selling a Closely Held Business – Part 1: Exit Planning
