Concealed weapons offer a two-fold advantage: they provide force multiplying capability, and they provide the element of surprise. I make no bones about the fact that I think open carry of a pistol is ill advised, most of the time. If there is a choice to conceal the handgun, that is the choice I take... Continue Reading →
I settled on the Ruger LCR platform a long time ago, choosing it over the Smith and Wesson J Frame options or the small 380 autos for my deep concealment and backup gun needs. Overall, I have always liked the gun for its purpose, but I was never quite satisfied with the stocks, or grip,... Continue Reading →
Most often I carry only one gun on-person. I carry either my primary Glock 26 or my deep concealment Ruger LCR. These have become the only two guns that I carry for the past decade, as they both prove ideal in dimensions and capability for myself and my needs. While I train a lot with... Continue Reading →

This is a deep dive that I have long wanted to tackle as the topic has been touched on, but not deeply explored, many times on past shows I have done on other podcasts. Phil was the perfect guy...

Unless you live in make-believe world (which half our nation seems to do) you should realize that our state of affairs is deteriorating. The current political regime is, intentionally, destroying the nation by fostering unmitigated illegal invasion of the country.

If you read this blog you probably live in reality and don’t have your head up you’re a##. As such, you may realize that the current political regime is working hard to destroy our nation by allowing unmitigated, and fully encouraged, illegal invasion of the country.
