There is an unprecedented increase in the percentage of mass-casualty attacks being committed by biological females. Ignore the nonsense that Google feeds you if you research this trend, in which you will be told “there is no quantifiable increase in female violence.” To quote Groucho Marks, “who do you believe? Me, or your own lying... Continue Reading →
Ankle Carry: Sub-Optimal for the Primary, Ideal for the BUG
Ankle carry blows for carrying your only gun under most circumstances, although, while seated, it can work quite well. Otherwise, I don’t like it for carrying my primary on-person firearm. Years ago, I often ankle carried to accommodate deep concealment needs while in non-permissive dress, such as wearing a suit. I no longer bother with... Continue Reading →
Weekly Threat Analysis: Looting Following Disaster
Looting is a predictable issue following any wide-scale disaster, natural or man-made.

No Clips on Pockets
Concealed weapons offer a two-fold advantage: they provide force multiplying capability, and they provide the element of surprise. I make no bones about the fact that I think open carry of a pistol is ill advised, most of the time. If there is a choice to conceal the handgun, that is the choice I take... Continue Reading →
