Probably nothing but propaganda but they hit France.

What is a target in Bedford of all places? Am I missing something?

A threat from May is still a threat.

If they're going to come, let them come. I'm not going to stress in the slightest about it, I'll just deal with it the best I can if it happens just as I have before. I'm already ahead anyway, but I'll be annoyed in Valhalla if I don't get 5 before I go down *shrug*

It's called Walhalla! See http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Walhalla
And there is also a Walhalla in Bavaria, the southern state in Germany.

And we both are not going there anytime soon my friend, we will win!

I believe if it happened in Texas there would be numerous civilians acting like the civilians that took shots at Charles Whitman in 1966 at the UT clock tower. There are plenty of people here much more prepared than those in France.

I'm more concerned with some teenage nutjob off his meds shooting up a theater. Either way, I'm going to be as prepared for any threats, foreign and domestic. And, I'm still going about my business as usual.

Bedford?!?!?! That's how you know that they are full of it.

Well, no, not necessarily. The "kill list" is a list of individuals as targets for assassination, not locations for Paris-type mayhem. There is someone on their list who they believe to be a military member with ties to Bedford TX, which could be accurate -- the guy might have grown up there and enlisted, and it is listed as his home of record, or he has facebook pictures of his family there, etc.

Heck, maybe the Chinese are passing along info from the database of security clearances they burgled.

Yes the article is a few months old, but that doesn't necessarily mean the information is not current. The various violent Islamic groups have shown great patience in planning for and striking targets, they think ahead farther than a news cycle or two - more like two thousand, or ten thousand news cycles ahead. They have long encouraged individual Muslims to launch attacks on service members and others, and quite a number have taken them up on it (e.g. recruiting center attacks, Fort Dix, Fort Hood). This are often dismissed as non-terrorist, more motivated by mental illness, but the fact that many of them had mental problems does not mean the al Qaeda/ISIS versions of Islam were not significant factors goading them into striking and helping them select targets. In the past the targets have been arbitrary -- any service member would do -- but it appears ISIS is trying now trying to give the lone-wolf types specific targeting information.

Stay calm and carry... and check six.

New Braunfels? They had better be careful if they come looking for trouble there.

First thing you know, one of them will step in some Gemütlichkeit, and next thing they'll be singing "In Heaven there is no beer..." and doing the Chicken Dance with Miss Loverwurst.

Not out of fear, but out of caution, I do not mingle with heavy heavy attendance of others as in shopping mall, or entertainment events etc. Unless I have to and when I can be with my 2ndA tool. Black Fridays are first to be mentioned. There is Black online-Monday that I enjoy. In addition to Pre-black-Friday sales starting from today.

I know what you mean. There is someone with some heavy security locally... like MP5 type security. People like that are all over the place, maybe even in Bedford.

I heard on the radio that someone had asked one security expert on one of the cable news morning shows if a Paris-like attack could happen here in the US... They brought up Aurora, Fort Hood, the Navy Yard in DC, Newtown, and then said, "Yeah, I think that IS could do that here". One CHLer with a Glock 19 up against 4-6 terrorists with AKs and bomb belts; I don't like those odds.

You are on your own out there... act accordingly.
