Well, there was a Jihadi terror attack in Australia, on a Hanukkah party, which took the lives of 16 people. It was a mass shooting. How could that be? Afterall, Australia has some of the strictest gun control in the world and mass shootings can’t happen there, right? Assault weapons were not even used, so... Continue Reading →
Hollywood is the perpetrator of the many myths that plague the general public’s understanding of guns, and more broadly, self-defense. There is little of value to learn from the silver screen. There are, however, some characteristics that are very well and accurately portrayed by good actors. A few exceptional performances have really captured the essence... Continue Reading →
Many experienced concealed carriers settle on a two-gun system: a primary carry gun that is more capable, ranging from micro 9mm autos up to full-size service pistols, as well as something smaller, favoring snub revolvers or the very tiny pocket pistols chambered in 380acp. I believe you need to have both options to stay armed... Continue Reading →
It seems that many have not received the memo; is no longer the 1970s or 1980s. During those decades there was significant “right wing” violence. Even in the 1990s there were remnants, climaxing with the horrific Oklahoma City Bombing. Right wing American extremism is not fascist, as it is in Europe, despite what the hopelessly...

Several weeks prior to this writing, in Alexandria, Virginia, three nitwits stood outside of a home, dressed in masks, taunting the homeowner to open the door, saying, “if you don’t open, we are coming in!” This happened prior to Halloween, not on Halloween night, so it is not a distasteful holiday prank. Rather, as judged... Continue Reading →
Like much in life, handgun size is a compromise. There are some people who do carry full-size service pistols, typified by the Glock 17 and the Smith and Wesson M&P. realistically, this is difficult for most people to do if they want to truly conceal the gun. The ubiquitous Glock 19 has been so well-received... Continue Reading →
We are on the brink of the longest government shutdown in history. Each partisan side blames the other, but this current event simply proves what we all already knew; congress is sickeningly inept, corrupt, and useless. Be that as it may, the most staggering statistic to come to light as many focus on this problem... Continue Reading →
I admit, I have not carried a gun on strong side while out in public in, literally, years. I find AIWB carry superior for a variety of reasons. And, I would say that a majority of squared-away guys now carry AIWB, the concealment and speed benefits begin obvious. So, carrying on the side of your... Continue Reading →
I take in an inordinate amount of information on a daily basis. While such overload is unnatural, and likely unhealthy, for the modern human being, I occupy my intake of such with information that is pertinent to our contemporary survival and security. In other words, I don’t watch cat videos or reality shows. I watch... Continue Reading →
There is nothing new under the sun and the popularity of any firearms platform comes and goes in a cycle measured in decades. In the past several years there has been a resurgence in interest in the revolver. Perhaps many have newly discovered the benefits that the wheel gun offers, but I suspect this is...
