David Russ replied to Justin Cook's discussion Please do a article on how the art of war can help everyday men.
"Yes, they do fight their own battles!  However, I like to think of every choice is a battle and the consequences are the results of those choices.  There are always choices.  I mentioned in my initial post on here that the book is…"

David Russ replied to Justin Cook's discussion Please do a article on how the art of war can help everyday men.
"The Art of War is a good book.  My opinion are that these are what I call universal principles.  These principles can be scaled up or down based on the environment in which you find yourself.  I often relate it back to my martial arts…"

David Russ replied to Marty's discussion High Capacity Magazines in the group Concealed Carry Club
"Well, I think the whole high capacity magazine restriction is simply bunk and just something to occupy people's attention to make it seem as though something was done. As for me, my shoulder holster has 3 magazine pouches, so if I have 1 mag in…"

Profile Information

Interests
My life passion is Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Martial arts can teach one many things about life. I also enjoy writing both novels and screenplays, camping, hunting, archery and firearms, fishing, hiking, and paintball. Many years ago, I obtained my private pilots license and enjoyed flying until it became too restrictive and expensive.
Books
The Book of Five Rings
The Art of War
Living Values
The Gift of Fear
Movies
I enjoy good actions movies, sci-fi, horror, and comedy. I also enjoy those sappy romantic movies as well when accompanied by my wonderful wife.
Music
My taste in music varies. I do enjoy listening to big band jazz while smoking a cigar and sipping scotch. Depending on my mood, the environment, and situation, I enjoy most everything from Dub-step to classical.

David replied to Matthew L Weiss's discussion Umbrellas ok?
