We have quite a few examples now of citizens, dressed in battle gear in the midst of riots or other chaos, attracting violence. The overt wear and display of body armor and weaponry is of limited use for the citizen, and while that seems to be a controversial statement, I stick by it. Let me... Continue Reading →
We had Annette Evans back on the show this past Tuesday and we had a particularly good discussion on training paths. Enthusiasts of defensive shooting, and self-defense in general, often forget that the average person who is not a hobbyist, but wishes to be able to protect themselves, needs reasonable advice and guidance.
