I have long promoted keeping a holster for your carry gun that is for the opposite hand. In the event that you sustain an injury to your dominant hand, or in the event of having surgery on your dominant side elbow, shoulder, wrist, etc…, you will be out of commission for a recovery period and...

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 →
No matter who you are, where you live, or what your environment is, having a bug out plan is a necessary part of your preparedness. Do you live isolated in the Rocky Mountains? Why would you need to bug out and leave your bunker? Well, do you want to stay when the next forest fire... Continue Reading →
I was unfortunate enough to have to travel to Baltimore for work recently. This was the first time in three years I have set foot in that cesspool (a blue utopia, apparently, because this is what they keep voting for). While I try not to be overtly political, I can’t help but proclaim the obvious. ... Continue Reading →

The use of wings, or what is often called a claw, on holsters designed for appendix position carry, have been an absolute game changer in concealment as these devices draw the grip into the body, thus greatly aiding concealment. Another tool that has long been used to enhance AIWB concealment is wedging, which typically involves... Continue Reading →
Wearing tools of personal protection is not very difficult to do when wearing casual clothing such as jeans and a T-shirt, or jeans and a sweater or jacket, etc…, but formal clothing, or gym shorts, make such carry much more challenging. While wearing jeans and an un-tucked shirt I carry a compact pistol and that... Continue Reading →
So, there is a new outfit on the trauma medical scene named Snakestaff Systems and they are producing a couple of tourniquets that are claimed to be specifically designed for on-body carry. Being a nerd for anything preparedness related, I bought one. These things, literally, sell out within five minutes. The website lists the next... Continue Reading →
So, when it comes to competitive shooting, I have never truly embraced being a gamer as I simply don’t get into it, yet I have felt compelled over the years to participate due to the undeniable benefits that shooting competition offers the defensive practitioner. Those who keep proclaiming that shooting competition will get you “kilt... Continue Reading →
