interesting site blogging on guns and self defense. Israel.

Another one of those blogs I ran across a while back, made a note and never returned. Yeah I know. Stupid cos it’s well worth a peek especially as it come from Israel and apparently the guy knows something about weapons.

Now then. Here’s the embarrassing part.  I REDISCOVERED this site thanks to .... yeah. Him again.

THEO SPARKS .....  with thanks.

Also, there’s a short story to go with this photo .... which could not be copied and pasted.  Sneaky.  The young ladies are triplets.

The site is dedicated to guns and self defense. I tried posting the link here but had lots of trouble with loading.  So, go to Theo’s, find the girls shown and try to access the site to Israel blogger from there.  For some reason it worked better. I’ve no idea why.

OKAY ... Thanks to our BMEWS TIGER, and I don’t know how ... here’s the text I wasn’t able to copy/paste earlier.  ???
Thanks Tiger.

DOUBLETAPPER: ("Blogging from Israel on Guns, Self Defense, and whatever else I feel like blogging about"):
IDF Women

“The concept of ‘one for all and all for one’ can get pretty absurd,” wrote the late columnist Sam Orbaum about his identical triplet daughters 14 years ago.

Orbaum, who passed away in 2002 at the age of 46, wrote about life as a father of identical triplets.

Not only did he sometimes mix them up, Orbaum wrote in his well-known wry, comic style, but he was also constantly impressed by their tight bond - when for example they stood up for one another in fights in the school sandbox.
The three blond 19-year-old sisters are still sticking up for one another, although this time not on the playground but in the IDF Air Corps, in which they all enlisted a few months ago, making history.

Odelia, the oldest (born a minute before her two sisters), serves as a control officer ; Nomi is an air traffic controller; and Donna is currently in training for a different position. All three plan on attending the IDF’s pestigious Office Candidate Course and extending their service for at least an additional year.

Nomi Orbaum says, “[Serving In the IDF ] is what characterizes the state.”

“He supported us in everything we did until he passed away when we were 12,” Donna said on how their father would feel about their serving in the IDF . “This is the seventh year since he passed away and I think about him all the time and see his smile and know that he would have been proud of us.”

All of Israel is proud of the Orbaum Triplets!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
