Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Are you on a higher alert status on 9-11???
As the title suggests, do you increase your alert status on 9-11?
I am and my wife and I will have a few hundred extra 5.56 rounds with us at all times tomorrow along with a couple hundred for our pistols on top of 10 loaded mags for each of our ARs.
Do any of you think I am paranoid or do you go on a better alert status and are extra preparewd on the anniversary?

#1 Job in the world, being a Dad!
I could overthrow a third world country at the drop of a dime...so I'm good to go.
I can't imagine what kind of terrorist attack would occur where a ton of ammo would help you out. Not with these kinds of terrorists anyway. None of that would have made a difference 9 years ago for example.
I'm not saying you're incorrect for being on high alert, just question the need for so much ammo. Don't get pulled over and become a suspect or anything.

I am loaded mainly for the aftermath of civil unrest if a terrorist attack does happen.
ALso I plan on staying home with the kids and wife.

But I see no reason to be extra prepared on 9/11, it is a day to honor our fallen heroes and innocents, remember THEY want you to live in fear. God bless the good people who lost their lives on that horrible day.
Oh and BTW just because I don't dosent mean your crazy, hell I'm probably crazy for not stocking up on ammo, I gotta get a reloader........
Nothing says you hate terrorism like shooting the victims during the aftermath.

Systemically, Al-Quada has shown that anniversaries and significant dates mean nothing to them in correlation to attacks. This is fairly true of all of the Sunni based terrorist organizations that have cropped up around the world as al-quada franchised and broke apart into little separate pieces. The same cannot be said for Shia based terrorist organizations, but they only show a date propensity for incidents where they are clashing with the Sunnis.
Domestic terrorism and many of the older and now defunct European terrorist organizations/groups, on the other hand, have shown a clear and concise opposite feeling toward date centric actions. The biggest example of this was the Oklahoma City bombing on 19 April, the anniversary of the Branch Dividian Compound raid. There are a butt load of other significant occurances in the week around 19 April too. I always got edgy that week when I was a Fed, and still do.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
The Shiites like their dates, but it's not likely to be much of a factor unless you happen to be in Najaf, Karbala, Samarra, etc. during their various pilgrimages, but even then the bad guys are likely to be Sunni. They just can't resist large groups of people with a (trend of a) persecution complex.
i am allways on a higher alert level. its called PTSD.
but, if it would make you happy, i could go color some moose limbs on a cardboard target and shoot it today. kind of remember the day, and show we dont forget.
Although, I used to tell everyone that I couldnt believe this kind of thing had not happened. And when it finally did I couldnt believe it was a nearly one time thing. As long as we live in a free and open society, we will have challenges to face. Weather they are moose limbs or other. I personally wouldnt allow the moose limbs to immigrate here, and would block thier propaganda based on hate speech. But, I dont make the rules. And that is probably a good thing. for everyone else...
