There has now been a second school shooting, committed by a teenager, in which the parent of the perpetrator is being prosecuted. At first glance, I have mixed feelings. Especially when dealing with a teenager who is legally an adult; at what point do we, as a society, hold the individual solely responsible for their... Continue Reading →
An unprecedented number of Illegal Alien Invaders (that is the appropriate term, they are not migrants) are now in our country, courtesy of Biden’s administration. Current to this writing, illegals tried to board a school bus in California. Most parents in San Diago, California, probably voted for Biden, so they are cashing in on their... Continue Reading →
Following on last week’s theme of relevant training, here we will further define the training needs of armed citizens. The economy is bad, as anyone who thinks rather than feels realizes. People have far less disposable income across the board compared to pre-Covid and pre-Biden administration. When disposable income is not there, few people actively... Continue Reading →
Training should be “relevant” to you and your lifestyle. You have probably heard that statement often. However, like much in this world of personal protection, repeated mantras often remain nebulous and vague. How should the practitioner decipher what skills and tactics are relevant? Here we refer strictly to the armed citizen as law enforcement and... Continue Reading →
While anecdotal evidence is not a reliable indication of trends, at some point, when everyone is seeing the same anecdotes, it is time to compare notes. The very low crime neighborhood, and county in general, in which I have now lived for over a decade has seen a massive uptick in violent crime in the... Continue Reading →
I have found an interesting dichotomy throughout the years: very often, training junkies with many, often hundreds, of hours of professional training frequently remain at a mediocre level of mechanical skill with their pistol, while performance oriented shooters who compete shoot at a high level with little, if any, formal pistol training. Occasionally, you encounter... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

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 →
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...
