There is no denying that the concealed handgun is the primary and best tool for dealing with a lethal threat. However, the pistol is not the appropriate solution for every situation, and most of us cannot be armed with it at all times, in all places. There are several tools that I strongly believe most...

I prefer to carry a handheld light that protrudes past my palm when I hold it in the typical hammer fist grip. There are two reasons for this: first, it is easier to point and light things up with the Bezel unobstructed by the hand. Second, I like having the ability to strike with the... Continue Reading →
For decades the mass murderer, most commonly in the form of an active shooter, has been deemed an anomaly in the realm of self-defense considerations. It still is. While the media goes hysterical over such events, the only reason they do so is to push for civilian disarmament. The leftwing media incorporates gang related shootings... Continue Reading →
I recently trained with Steve Fisher of Sentinel Concepts and it was the first time I have taken a class with him. I invited him on the show to discuss the subject of low light shooting, and many other topics. This was a good episode of CCX2. Steve drops some serious knowledge about low light...

At this point the horrendous mass killing in Texas at an elementary school is still not entirely understood, although as of this writing the details are emerging, and they don’t look good. It appears that police did not enter quickly, waiting over half an hour, and they even held back parents who were trying to... Continue Reading →
Nothing chaps my ass like having to travel to “non-permissive environments,” particularly in reference to entire states or cities. Court buildings and other federal locations are typically restricted and this is unlikely to change.

Carry your gun, all the time. This is the advice that most of the respected firearms and self-defense trainers will offer. There is merit to this advice. Murphy’s law dictates that what can go wrong will go wrong, and if you carry a gun only 50% of the time, guess which 50% will most likely... Continue Reading →
With more serious practitioners of concealed carry than ever before, the true enthusiasts among that crowd have continued to refine the mechanics involved in deploying a handgun from concealment. While I am certainly an enthusiast who likes shooting, and pursing an advanced skillset in shooting simply for the craft itself, I have always been rooted... Continue Reading →
I have garnered some hate from quite a few of the carbine enthusiasts out there due to my repeated declarations that the armed citizen will fight with the handgun, especially outside of the home, and the truck gun and other such notions are worth little more than a means of arming car thieves. I stand... Continue Reading →
So, I finally published a book that I actually finished writing almost two years ago. For some reason, I procrastinated on actually publishing it, but I finally did. The irony is that the book was almost compete before the pandemic of 2020 set in. In a post-COVID world preparedness books seem to be a bit... Continue Reading →
