The number of violent confrontations that transpire, which could easily be avoided, within the Continental United States each year is significant. I often hear people ask, “when can I shoot?” This is, entirely, the wrong question. Rather, those new to self-defense and concealed carry should be educating themselves to answer the question, “when must I... Continue Reading →
You know what does not happen in civilian self-defense shootings? Reloads. Maybe it can be found, but it is exceedingly rare.

I don’t like to jump on the bandwagon of doom and gloom or panic, but we are in a bad place as a nation pertaining to the possibility of terror attacks. The three letter agencies are flat out admitting that we are at a heightened and precarious state of security. The seditious current administration has... Continue Reading →

Annette is a particularly clear thinker as it pertains to a realistic approach for preparing for threats that are most pressing and likely. While her advice is especially helpful for women entering the fold of self-defense training, it is universal. I particularly like... Continue Reading →

Hence, a fast and consistent draw stroke gives one the confidence to wait and evaluate a situation rather than panic and draw a gun pre-maturely. Still, there are legitimate reasons for which to have a gun in hand. When under duress,... Continue Reading →
Well, I am sort of late to the party here, but forgive me since I have a lot of irons in the fire of late. Anyway, TADA! I am co-hosting a new podcast! For my readers that have been with me for a while, you might have checked out any number of the weekly shows... Continue Reading →
