I am not sure why so many gun carriers still resist the very notion of also carrying OC (pepper) spray. For some reason, many can’t come to grips with the fact that they are two different tools, designed for two different reasons. Here we go, class: A firearm is for defending yourself or another innocent... Continue Reading →
The Tueller “Principle”
I cringe every time I hear reference to the “Tueller Rule.” There is no rule, and there never was. Rather, there is a demonstrated principle. Dennis Tueller, a Seargent on the Salt Lake City Police Department, published an article in SWAT magazine in 1983 explaining the outcomes of force-on-force experiments he conducted. The centerpiece of... Continue Reading →
Lone Wolf Attacks: Be on High Alert
The number of bad actors that flooded into the United States during the disastrous Biden Administration is legion. There are thousands of terrorists from the Middle East within our borders. Many bad actors have also come through legal immigration means following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal as well. Yet, despite this unprecedented influx of threats in... Continue Reading →
Incendiary Attacks
Scumbags of a certain breed have a thing for lighting people on fire. The infamous incident on the New York City Subway was an example of this, when a man set a woman ablaze in an entirely unprovoked attack. There was also a similar incident in Chicago, once again on mass transit, in which a... Continue Reading →
Weapon Mounted Lights on Home Defense Pistols: Necessary?
For years, the cool kids all had WMLs on their carry pistols. Unless you had a Glock 19 with a Surefire light on it (and had sleeve tats) who were you to say anything about being tactical? Even now, many keep WMLs on their carry pistols, though I think many realize that it works as... Continue Reading →
16 Times Handgun-Armed Good Guys Stopped Long Gun-Armed Killers
There are now numerous documented events in which handgun-armed good guys have stopped rifle-armed active killers and terrorists. I have written extensively on this topic, and I have spoken about it on several shows and podcasts. I think this subject is of the utmost importance as we witness an increase in such events, so that... Continue Reading →
The Pistol for the Current Threat Profile
Gone are the days where the only concern for the armed citizen was a crackhead in a dark ally with a switch blade. The J Frame proved ideal for such an adversary. While that threat certainly still exists, it is hardly all to be concerned with. We now live in the time of heightened, hyper-violence. ... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on the Bondi Beach Attack
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 →
Don’t Open the Door
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 →
Crime Stats vs. Threat Profile: Plan Correctly
It is important that we stay focused on reality, as it presents itself, rather than react to our world emotionally. Emotion is for the gun control idiots who think that infringing on the constitutional rights of the law abiding will, in any way, reduce homicide. For those here that are invested in facts, here are... Continue Reading →
