In over two years of writing on this blog, it has occurred to me, that I have not done any book reviews thus far outside of a single article I did in which I recommended what I consider to be the top works on self-defense that everyone should read.

Not long ago I wrote an article speaking of “the compromise gun.” I propose the idea that shooters are best served by minimizing the guns they use and train with to only those that are needed as rotating platforms can undermine your skills development.

However, I spent a few years as a dedicated shotgun guy and I was convinced it was my go-to defensive option for that duration. I... Continue Reading →
I think we would all agree that waking up in the middle of the night with a home intruder standing over us is not the optimal outcome.
