Last year I became interested in having a handy general-purpose rifle that is light to carry in the woods for extended periods and that makes a good trunk gun: something that is very rugged. I began researching modern scout rifles, guns that are to some extent derived from Jeff Cooper’s original idea. These bolt guns... Continue Reading →
Knowing how to speak, believe it or not, is an essential element of self-defense. I have written a number of articles on the general subjects of contact management and de-escalation. These skills are just as important as knowing how to draw your firearm. If you have not researched and trained in this skillset I would... Continue Reading →
I highly encourage training with good instructors at any opportunity you can manage. All good shooters, especially those who are instructors themselves, are life-long students of the craft that seek out knowledge from others at all opportunities.

The LCR and other such light weight small revolvers are ideal for pocket,... Continue Reading →
If I could only have one handgun it would be a Glock 19. There is a huge number of handgunners out there who feel exactly the same way. The G19 is an industry standard and those of us that favor it typically do for one simple reason: it is the perfect size. It does everything... Continue Reading →
The abdication of self-reliance. Isn't that catchy? Unfortunately, that is the underlying factor behind every social trend that is working towards the destruction of this country. That is the title I will be using for it from now on. I write about things other than guns every once in a while, but, yet again, it... Continue Reading →
If you read this blog you are probably familiar with the term Gun Culture 2.0. It is a reference to the newer American gun culture that has emerged in the past couple of decades that reflects changing American demographics and society. The authority on this social trend is a gentleman by the name of David... Continue Reading →
