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 →
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.
