Iran Linked Domestic Terror Attacks

[Uomo Senza Nome]

Someone from Senegal shot up a bar in Austin last night 2/28/26. He was wearing an Iranian Flag and a "Property of Allah"  TShirt. The FBI is investigating it as a terror attack.

I anticipate this will be one of more to follow in the US and possibly US allied nations where Iran has backed attacks previously. This could be anywhere in Europe, Canada or Australia for sure.

With Combat operations underway for the foreseeable future in Iran I think it is wise that we pay extra attention to our surroundings and be prepared to do whatever is necessary to defend ourselves and loved ones.

Yeah, I've switched out my normal 13+1 .380 ACP CCW for my SHTF 18+1 9mm CCW.

And PMAG D-60 mags are a PITA to load.  Just saying.  Not that my AR has one, or a few.

I am going to see how long I can maintain condition Orange outside the home. I haven't done that much since my second retirement. It's not an enjoyable state to be constantly searching for threats and evaluating everyone in your area close enough to be a threat.

Did anyone notice something odd about the news accounts of the attack? 

From the accounts I saw, the shooter turned on his flashers ("emergency lights") before rolling down his window and opening up with a pistol.  Then he drove down the street to park before returning with a rifle.

Was he worried about getting a parking ticket?

Being born and raised in NYC, mostly in the slums of the Upper West Side and the rougher parts of Brooklyn, I think I was born into condition yellow and grew up in condition orange.  I can't think of any time in my life that I wasn't at least at condition yellow.

Rational thought is generally not a strong skill for those who respond to their big feelings with violence against innocent people.

Several informal reports in podcasts, from various members of the intelligence community. Have stated that many Islamic military aged men (there descriptions may have been more detailed than that but I don't recall the exact wording. So I'm not going to guess.) came across the border while it was open. Which is the basis for their concern about domestic events.

The Chinese did the same. There is a large documented movement of military aged Chinese men that cam across the border. And have been setting up weed grows in different states. Maine has been specifically targeted. A journalist did a large in-depth report into their activities. They've gone so far as to involve local government with large payoffs. It involved many other illegal activities as well. But the specifics escape me at the moment.

It's not far fetched, with as loose as our birders were, that domestic incidents could take place. I mean at least the one in Texas has already happened. But evidence ita linked to the border issues. Not that that's what's important.

I was actually on my way to the range when my buddy texted me asking if I heard about Bahrain (was there in 2022). Wild to see somewhere I lived, worked and played for a year getting hammered. 

Either way, as fate would have it I was heading to get good data for my PDWs (11.5" AR & G48). Once I got back home it was cleaning and going through the checklists I setup on ReadyPlan (again, something I had just spent a whole weekend on sorting out).

Work is about to get super busy but the home plan for a CONUS event is pre-checked and ready to go.

😁 I was wondering where you were going with all of this till the end. It immediately put a big smile on my face.

Good on you. 😁
