Another sickening shooting in a school. As usual, in response to this the left wants to take your property from you and make you a felon if you don’t willfully hand it over. Such measures will, of course, do nothing to stop the next attack. So, how do we stop this? Do we ban some... Continue Reading →
The Inescapable Mentality of the Anti-Gun Zealot
A clear example of why the anti-gunners love Europe is seen in the advice given to the British public in how to respond to a terror attack: they are instructed to Run, Hide, Tell. Tell, like you would tell on a bully in grade school. At least FEMA’s advice, as flawed as it is, suggests... Continue Reading →
Security and Self-Defense in the Workplace
There is no lack of discussion on self-defense these days among tactical circles. Ironically, workplace security and self-defense still get less of the lion’s share of thought, even though workplace violence is one of the most common forms of criminal assault. There are a number of things to consider for your personal safety regardless of... Continue Reading →
For the Children: The Emotional Marketing of Gun Control
In his fascist masterwork Mein Kamph Adolph Hitler wrote “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” In the...

Why You Should Hunt
Jeff Cooper once opined that he could not understand how some people could be shooters but not hunters, and conversely, some were hunters but not shooters. For Cooper, the founding father of our modern approach to self-defense, hunting and shooting were intrinsically linked. I am of a newer generation of gunmen than the late, great,...

The True Divide on the Second Amendment
If you are dumfounded by how ignorant anti-gun activists can be you are not alone. If you blame their position on ignorance you are on the same page as the rest of the firearms community. However, if you think that ignorance is the primary reason for this incessant attack on freedom, you are mistaken. Ignorant voters... Continue Reading →
Review of the The ASP Key Defender
Roughly 80% of assaults each year are deemed less-lethal in nature, but most gun carriers feel that there is no need for a dedicated less-lethal weapon. Go figure. Just like your firearm, a less-lethal tool should be standard carry. I don’t understand the dudes with long beards and sleeve tats that walk around with a... Continue Reading →
A Great Interview and an Unexpected Lesson
The American Warrior Show is, in my opinion, one of the best self-defense oriented podcasts going. The host is Mike Seeklander, probably known to many of you as a co-host on the Outdoor Channel’s show The Best Defense. Mike is a great host and always covers great topics. I listen to all of the episodes... Continue Reading →
The Carry Knife: An Essential Rescue Tool
If you believe in self-preparedness you absolutely must carry a knife. Even if you don’t carry a gun you must carry a knife. Even if it is not a proper knife, carry a multi tool with a cutting blade. You are not equipped to face the dangers of this world if you have no cutting... Continue Reading →
Training with the Snub
Due to my social commitments I often need to carry an exceedingly concealable firearm. Therefore, I am essentially stuck with the uber-tiny 380 autos or the 38 Snub. After much experimentation I am entirely in the 38 snub camp and it remains my small gun of choice. It is small enough to conceal in any... Continue Reading →
