It is and unfortunate fact that the nature of home invasion has changed in recent years. Large groups of criminal actors bursting through the door to take control of the home through violence and speed of action is more common. Security measures must be in place, and should invaders make it into the home, an... Continue Reading →
There are a lot of hypothetical discussions related to “if I only had X amount of guns.” As gear whores, we love this. If you only had five guns, what would they be? How about only three? From a practical perspective, I have submitted a number of times that if a person who is not... Continue Reading →
The self-defense and preparedness community are interesting in what gets attention. Apparently, this needs to be said, so I will rain on the parade and say it: the American citizen is far more likely to get robbed on the streets of a city than get attacked by para-gliding terrorists. That same citizen is far, far,... Continue Reading →

Recent history has witnessed several incidents in which good men have armed themselves with a rifle to intercept an active threat not in their own home, but in their neighborhood or vicinity. Stephen Williford, hero of the Texas Church massacre, comes to mind. So does the man who stopped an active shooter in his apartment... 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 →
I seldom travel far from home anymore, but in years past I often would be several hours drive from home for my work. I would routinely work at different office locations that were between two and five hours drive from home. It was always on my mind: what would happen if an emergency situation occurred...
