I like guns, just like the next guy. As shooters, there is an inclination to acquire gear. It seems boring to use only one kind of gun when we have so much to choose from. Between all the Glocks, M&Ps, Staccatos, Walthers, and every other great thing, gotta have’m all, right? The problem remains that... Continue Reading →
Last week I wrote an article discussion how to balance concealability versus performance when choosing your primary carry gun. Still, no matter how often you can carry the primary, most armed citizens find occasional, if not common, need for the smallest possible handgun to accommodate dress requirements or social restrictions. Thus, most need a deep... Continue Reading →
How do you choose the right gun as a primary carry piece? I suggest that you look for a handgun that is substantial in capability and shoot-ability, but small enough that you can carry it most of the time when dressed casually. Therefore, it proves a very individual choice. There are, indeed, guys who can... Continue Reading →
Even amidst the constant discussion in the self-defense and “tactical” community regarding the looming threat of terrorism, I continue to urge focus on handgun skills as, inevitably, if the armed civilian finds himself/herself at ground zero, that is what you are far more likely to be armed with rather than a long gun.

While many in the firearms and preparedness community get fixated on rifles and plate carriers during times of heightened threat, I seek to draw the armed citizen back into this reality: you are most likely to face the monsters with your handgun, because the monsters strike in public locations where they anticipate little resistance.

I regularly carry a Glock 26, spare magazine, light, knife, OC Spray, and a tourniquet as my standard EDC. These items go in my waistline or in my front pockets, along with keys and a phone, etc… Statistically speaking, this should be ample gear to resolve the kind of predatory violence that a common citizen...

If you have not equipped yourself with the needed defensive firearms at this point, you are beyond late to the party. However, better late than never. Now would be the time, during a brief calm before the storm. The Covid experiment resulted in 10 million brand new gun owners in the United States. The globalist... Continue Reading →
I have been outspoken in my opposition to the so-called “carry rotation” that a lot of concealed carriers seem to utilize. Now, most people probably need at least two different guns to stay armed at most times; if subscribing to “carry enough gun,” then you might have a full-size or compact auto of some kind,...

For decades the mantra was “you need to dress around the gun.” Of course, most people who dressed around a gun had the luxury of being retired, or in a profession that allowed them to dress like a hobo, wearing the shoot-me-first vest, for example. But in this day and age of modern concealment gear,... Continue Reading →
I tend to shy away from making recommendations unless directly asked as the number of good guns now on the market is legion, and the personal preferences of all individuals has no limit. However, if pressed to answer, I have a surprisingly short list of top recommendations, despite the great deal of available gear. My... Continue Reading →
