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 →
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 →
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...

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 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 →
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 →
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 →
People always ask “what do you carry?” This is common since as gun people we are all to a greater or lesser extent into gear. First, a reminder: the gear we carry is vitally important, but your mindset, your tactics, and your skills, are far more important. Don’t be that person who is a hobbyist... Continue Reading →
