Now that an administration that believes in enforcing the rule of law is back in office, the left is angry. When the administration enforces the law and Constitution by, say, deporting illegal violent felons, rapists, pedophiles, and child traffickers, the left riots. After all, felons, rapists, pedophiles, narcos, terrorists, and child traffickers are integral parts... Continue Reading →
I fear that in 2025 we are going to witness an eventful summer. The left will be pulling out all the stops because “Orange Man Bad” grips their every thought. Further, the Palestinian cause is fueling leftist extremism. And, if you think it is only the left doing crazy things (it is certainly mostly them... Continue Reading →
For those paying attention, there is much chatter among current and ex-intelligence people regarding a looming, seemingly inevitable, terror attack on the American homeland. Is it certain to happen? No. However, due to the Afghanistan withdrawal, open border, and complete lack of national security in the past several years, it is naive to think it... 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,...

Gabe Suarez released an excellent video on a topic infrequently discussed: he delves into some research from decades ago done by different SPEC OPS groups on this topic; I had never heard of those experiments before. Here is where I fall on this topic: it is, absolutely, a real thing. I learned in my teen... Continue Reading →
Years ago, the comments on my articles in various places would be filled with the gleefully mediocre, chiming in about how defensive gun use is typically “3 rounds, 3 yards, 3 seconds,” and that usual such nonsense. This is less common now. It seems that our rapidly deteriorated world has become obvious to even the... Continue Reading →
The large-scale deportation of illegal aliens has received an inevitable backlash. A strong majority of American citizens support deporting illegals, especially those with criminal records, and these offenders are the current focus of the effort. However, certain factions vehemently oppose deporting this criminal element as unmitigated, illegal, immigration furthers their political aspirations. Over a week... Continue Reading →
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 have written about the “essential skills” for the prepared, armed citizen a number of times, and I believe it is worthy of re-visiting periodically. Many dangers remain, but some things change. Per my continuing training, and based on my ongoing evaluation of the changing nature of the threats that exist within the Continental United... Continue Reading →
The use of vehicles to inflict mass casualty events is not new. However, we are seeing it more often. As of this writing, there was a vehicle terror attack in Germany, in London, and what looks to be one in St. Louis, all within a week. This is a present and increasing concern. There are...
