While there may not be any absolute solution to any given problem in society, thus far we have a solution to mass shootings that is quite effective, at least in educational facilities. There have been no active killer attacks in school districts that have armed teachers staff. Not a single one. There have been attacks... Continue Reading →
I have written some well-known articles on pre-ignition push, most notably, on USA Carry where I address what it is and how to deal with it as a shooter. You can see that article here: https://www.usacarry.com/mitigate-pre-ignition-push/ I talk about this issue because I repeatedly deal with it as a shooter. I find that shooters seem...

The most important skill with a pistol, as it pertains to self-defense, is being able to deploy it efficiently, safely, and quickly. We could say that the draw to a first, solid hit, is most important. I would submit that the draw itself can be separated out from the first accurate hit to an extent... Continue Reading →
I generally avoid the topic of open carry as those devoted to it certainly should have every legal right to do so. Still, just because you can does not mean you should. There are certain environments where open carry is more acceptable than others, but they are few and far between. If you live in... Continue Reading →
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 →
A lot of gear in the self-defense and preparedness community come loaded with features. Often, however, those features are cool only in pictures of the product, not so much in functionality. Case in point, the glow stick on the Snakestaff Systems Tourniquet. So far I like this tourniquet, and I hope it gets COTCCC... Continue Reading →
A consistent trait that all high-level practitioners of almost any craft seem to share in common is an ability to focus on improvement when practicing. Pertaining to shooting, there is a difference between “practicing” and actually focusing on making progress. Perhaps you have heard this said, that every round fired should serve a purpose. The...
