Last week we had John Murphy, founder of FPF Training, on the USA Carry podcast. We had John on several times in years past on the CCX2 show. This time around, we deep dive the curriculum behind his Street Encounter Skills and Tactics class, which I recently attended. This is a course that I highly... Continue Reading →
Deep Dive on Duty to Retreat Versus Stand your Ground Law
I am not an attorney, yet as an educator in this space I study Use of Force Law quite extensively. If you carry a handgun for self-defense, you are doing yourself an enormous disservice if you are not well informed and educated on the laws that govern the use of force in personal protection. In...

Vicious Criminal Elements are Here
The intentional destruction of our nation continues with an open border. Some of the most vicious and hyper violent individuals on the earth populate the Central American drug cartels and now, TADA! They are here in force courtesy of our current administration. But, at least there are no mean tweets, so priorities, right! Expect an... Continue Reading →
A Comprehensive Discussion on Edged Weapons
Several weeks ago we had Phil Elmore on the USA Carry Podcast to discuss edged weapons. 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...

Still, there are legitimate reasons for which to have a gun in hand. When under duress,... Continue Reading →

Well, I am sort of late to the party here, but forgive me since I have a lot of irons in the fire of late. Anyway, TADA! I am co-hosting a new podcast! For my readers that have been with me for a while, you might have checked out any number of the weekly shows... Continue Reading →
Medical Self-Reliance: An Evac Plan
For those who remain willfully ignorant and think that everything is fine because NPR says so, good night. For those capable of reason and pragmatism, you realize that nobody is coming to help you when you need it. This has much to do with the defund the police movement, the Ferguson effect, or whatever we... Continue Reading →
Begging for Mercy from the Merciless
Few movies offer anything worth seeing when it comes to real world self-defense, but there are a few exceptions. One such film is No Country for Old Men. This film is not exceptional in its gun play or action, though it is quite good overall, but it is a must see for anyone who takes... Continue Reading →
The Threat is Real, and it is Here
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. Most administrations, except for the one directly prior, have... Continue Reading →
