With the recent assassination of high-profile conservative activist, Charlie Kirk, comes another tumultuous event for our nation. Personally, I knew of him, have seen some of the many online clips of his debates, but never followed him in any capacity. I found he spoke much common sense, but also said things that I did not...

Selecting a Home Defense Handgun: Capability and Familiarity
Recently I wrote about selecting a primary carry gun and a deep concealment gun. I think almost all armed citizens need those two distinct carry choices to accommodate most situations and remain armed. This week, let’s look at another handgun that may not be mandatory, as your primary carry gun can likely fill this role,... Continue Reading →
Catholic School Shooting in Minneapolis: Understand the Threat
Anther disgusting, reprehensible, mass attack on a Christian institution this week. In this case, in Minneapolis, a trans/biological male fired through the windows of a church, killing an eight-year-old and a ten-year-old child, and wounding seventeen others. Trans individuals attacking houses of worship is an escalating trend, and avoiding the discussion will not mitigate the... Continue Reading →
Valuable Information on Terror Threat Preparedness
I was on the excellent Survival Dispatch show last night discussing preparation for this likely threat that we face as a nation. Lots of prepper talk, right up my ally, as you know. Sadly, I think this is coming. Hopefully not at the scale that we fear, but we live in dangerous times. Stay frosty:... Continue Reading →

Selecting a Deep Concealment Gun: Carry Mode Considerations

Still, no matter how often you can carry the primary, most armed citizens find occasional, if not common, need for the smallest possible handgun to accommodate dress requirements or social restrictions. Thus, most need a deep... Continue Reading →
Selecting a Primary Carry Gun: Concealability VS. Performance
How do you choose the right gun as a primary carry piece? I suggest that you look for a handgun that is substantial in capability and shoot-ability, but small enough that you can carry it most of the time when dressed casually. Therefore, it proves a very individual choice. There are, indeed, guys who can... Continue Reading →
The Bag Gun: Is it Viable?
Even amidst the constant discussion in the self-defense and “tactical” community regarding the looming threat of terrorism, I continue to urge focus on handgun skills as, inevitably, if the armed civilian finds himself/herself at ground zero, that is what you are far more likely to be armed with rather than a long gun. Over the... Continue Reading →
An Overlooked 80s Movie, Nostalgia, and Gun Culture 1.0
Many of my readers are probably familiar with the term “gun culture 2.0,” as it is most notably associated with Dr. David Yamane and his work on the modern culture that surrounds firearms. Yamane attributes the term, however, to Michael Bane, and I do recall Bane referring to the contemporary gun culture as “2.0” even... Continue Reading →
Urgent Information on the Mumbai Attack Model
This is the best discussion I have ever been a part of regarding the terror threat. Survival Dispatch has been doing an excellent job of analyzing recent developments in the realm of Jihadi terrorism, bringing on numerous ex-military and intelligence experts in the past several weeks to provide an assessment of where this threat stands. ...
