For decades the mass murderer, most commonly in the form of an active shooter, has been deemed an anomaly in the realm of self-defense considerations. It still is. While the media goes hysterical over such events, the only reason they do so is to push for civilian disarmament. The leftwing media incorporates gang related shootings... Continue Reading →
CCX2 Show with Steve Fisher
I recently trained with Steve Fisher of Sentinel Concepts and it was the first time I have taken a class with him. I invited him on the show to discuss the subject of low light shooting, and many other topics. This was a good episode of CCX2. Steve drops some serious knowledge about low light...

A Guide to the Speedloader Reload
I have used a speed strip to provide a reload for my snub revolver most of the time I have spent carrying it. The speed strip is easy to conceal, like the snub itself, thus making it the feasible carry companion. Still, I have worked with all manner of speedloaders over the years, and have...

Learning the Pistol Red Dot: It’s Not Rocket Surgery
Rocket surgery, in case you are wondering, is the combination of rocket science and brain surgery. So, in other words, it is a very complicated affair. Shooting with a red dot on a pistol, however, is not at all as complicated as rocket surgery, despite the fact that some would have you believe otherwise. I... Continue Reading →
Restricted Environment Weapons
Nothing chaps my ass like having to travel to “non-permissive environments,” particularly in reference to entire states or cities. Court buildings and other federal locations are typically restricted and this is unlikely to change. The states and cities that prohibit the carry of defensive firearms are obviously populated with people who like having their betters,... Continue Reading →
Frank Serpico, My Father, the Browning Hi-Power, and Me
So, what does Frank Serpico, the famous whistleblower NYPD cop, my own father, and yours truly, all have in common? We all, at some point in our lives, carried a Browning Hi Power. Springfield Armory has released their updated production of the Hi Power and that has led me to reminisce about this particular gun... Continue Reading →
Review of the Mountain Man Medical Wind River Trauma Kit
I recently acquired the Mountain Man Medical Wind River trauma and first aid kit. I have two larger trauma kits that I have built out through buying and assembling different components, one that is in the home and one that is in the vehicle. These two kits contain gear to treat multiple casualties, not just... Continue Reading →
Practical Citizen Application of the Rifle and Battle Kit
I have garnered some hate from quite a few of the carbine enthusiasts out there due to my repeated declarations that the armed citizen will fight with the handgun, especially outside of the home, and the truck gun and other such notions are worth little more than a means of arming car thieves. I stand... Continue Reading →
Book Release: 21st Century Minute Man Now Published
So, I finally published a book that I actually finished writing almost two years ago. For some reason, I procrastinated on actually publishing it, but I finally did. The irony is that the book was almost compete before the pandemic of 2020 set in. In a post-COVID world preparedness books seem to be a bit... Continue Reading →
Review of the Mountain Man Medical Ankle Trauma Kit
I used to carry medical gear on my ankle and I did so for a while. I eventually abandoned this practice and went to carrying a SOFT-T Wide and small pack of hemostatic gauze on a Phlster Flat Pack, which fits easily in my pocket. While the ankle rig was able to carry more gear,... Continue Reading →
