I have known John Murphy for a while. I live within proximity to his home range and training center, FPF Training in Virginia, and I have attended many classes that he hosts there from other instructors. I have also trained with John himself in the past, taking his one-day version of what is now this... Continue Reading →
Unless you live in make-believe world (which half our nation seems to do) you should realize that our state of affairs is deteriorating. The current political regime is, intentionally, destroying the nation by fostering unmitigated illegal invasion of the country. Not only can our economic system not absorb this influx, but the number of bad... Continue Reading →
Our nation has a history of social breakdown leading to sweeping crime and lawlessness. The Los Angeles Riots in 1992 saw the eruption of violence following a particular police action, and the city pulled its law enforcement back and allowed the rioters free reign for a long period of time, resulting in the death of...

Few movies offer anything worth seeing when it comes to real world self-defense, but there are a few exceptions. One such film is No Country for Old Men. This film is not exceptional in its gun play or action, though it is quite good overall, but it is a must see for anyone who takes... Continue Reading →
If you read this blog you probably live in reality and don’t have your head up you’re a##.

Of the four, I have submitted the opinion that the tourniquet is the single most... Continue Reading →
I assure you that the amount of violence at houses of worship is at an all-time high in the United States. As of this writing, there were four just this week. You might have heard about the one at the Joel Olsteen Church in Texas, but you only heard about it because it happened at... Continue Reading →
The truth is, I often carry a small revolver, and I have always been a proponent of carrying a gun that you will actually carry, all the time, even if it is a diminutive gun, because it is still most likely to do what is necessary in civilian self-defense. Our world is changing. While... Continue Reading →
It is rather difficult to carry medical gear. In particular, within the self-defense and preparedness community, carrying medical gear refers to carrying tools for treating trauma, specifically, life-threatening bleeding. There are four dedicated hemorrhage control devices that we are interested in here: the tourniquet, packing gauze, pressure dressings, and chest seals. Carrying all four items... Continue Reading →
I am a shooting enthusiast, particularly as a handgunner. I am no USPSA Grand Master, nor have I tried to be, but I shoot at a high level, especially from concealment, which throws a specialty wrinkle into it. I absolutely love the benefits reaped from competitive shooting, as competition pushes all participants to get better. ... Continue Reading →
