Definitely needed these. Long story very short – less than 2 hours ago, got chewed out by a mother for telling her kid to stop riding his bike on the driveway, it’s dark and he had no lights or reflectors.
This. If the prey became hunters more often, the problem would solve itself. (Ideal world. In the UK? Nope, alas. self defense is not a legal right, depending on the situation.)
I love the video – she goes to slide lock with the pistol in her left hand, looks at it – “What’s your problem?”, tosses it aside and continues 2-handed with the other pistol.
Time for another airdrop of Liberator .45s, this time across UK.
The technological equivalent to the Liberator would be dead-simple 3d printers, rolls of filament, and vast quantities of easily concealable microSD cards with gcode files for the parts preloaded.
Of course a zip gun that can survive a single shot can be made from a piece of pipe, a nail and rubber bands.
The ammo would be the main problem.
I don’t know if there’s any plastic cased 3d printed ammo designs going, though I would not be surprised. That, tire weights to melt, something to cast melted lead into bullets, and black powder would yield a functional single shot firearm.
Of course, like the Liberator in the end, all of that would just be overkill – as the French Resistance decided, instead of using those Liberator toys, they either just bought guns on the black market with money from smuggling and other criminal activity, or in extremis they used pretty and ruthless females who were willing to entertain those coppers interested in same who had access to real firearms, and then take the guns and ammo from their cooling bodies.
For many years there was a website by P.A. Luty describing how to make your own guns and ammo from materials easily available in the UK. That website seems to have finally disappeared. I do have a copy of it; would be good to get it resurrected.
Curiously enough. NONE of it appears in the WayBack Machine. Conspiracy?
Our household desperately needs that white murder fluffy.
We lost our Eidelweiss 7 years ago to kidney failure. During the day he would pounce on ankles. At night, he would curl up in the crook of my wife’s arm, with his head on her shoulder.

On the apocalypse cat, that reminds me of a true story, written up in a newspaper clipping my father tucked away decades ago in a book about Matterhorn. Apparently the cat who lived in the hotel at the base of the Matterhorn one day got tired of watching all the climbers departing for the mountain every day, and followed the first group up. He quickly fell behind but kept going, as group after group of later climbers passed him higher and higher up the mountain. Shortly after the last group reached the summit of Matterhorn, they heard a meow and saw the cat walking up to them.
I believe they tucked him in a backpack so he didn’t have to do the climb back down under his own power.
