I have searched and am continuing to try to discover the ideal Concealed Carry (CC) gun for myself, like many do. This is proving to be a very challenging task with a lot of dynamic variables, like when Al Gore “created” the Internet or when Thomas Crapper developed the flush toilet. Is there really a [...]

Concealed Carry Drills Test
If you read a lot of gun magazines like I do, then you know there are a million and one drills that a person can practice. And each of these drills depends on what your purpose is for using the gun. For instance, are you using the gun for self-defense or are you solely a [...]
Self-Defense Shooting and Disparate Force
It is a terrible thing when anyone takes the life of another and this should only be as a last resort after you have done everything possible to avoid a firearm confrontation. However, to protect your life and the lives of your loved ones in specific deadly scenarios, you might be faced with using a [...]
If You Ain’t Imagining, You Ain’t Practicing
Last month this column discussed the best mode of carry for personal protection. It was argued that for all possible scenarios one could come upon, only concealment puts the carrier in the best position. That article received a lot of negative feedback as a result from open carriers who took offense after incorrectly believing the [...]
What Constitutional Carry Really Means…
The state of Utah recently passed a constitutional carry bill, which says a person can carry a concealed handgun without needing a permit. Once this bill got passed I heard from a few instructors who were afraid they were going to go out of business because nobody would take their classes anymore. Obviously, they hadn’t [...]
Amerihide Gun Belt Review
One of the most important pieces of concealed carry gear is a proper gun belt. The gun belt also happens to be the most overlooked piece of gear because it’s not as fun as buying ammo, a holster, or the gun itself. The thing is, if you don’t have a good gun belt, none of [...]
Why You Need to Start Training with a 3×5 Index Card
I’m a competitive person and hate losing. Just ask my wife who kicked my butt every time we played scrabble when we were dating. (I refuse to play anymore.) However, when it comes to being a more accurate shooter it’s important we “lose” often. What I mean is, I’ll often be at the shooting range [...]
Where to Carry Your Backup Gun
A number of people I know like to carry two guns instead of carrying spare ammo, because they believe the fastest reload is their backup gun. Personally, I sometimes carry two guns and sometimes I just carry extra ammo, so like a lot of things gun-related there’s no right or wrong answer. However, if you’re [...]
Is the Government Still Racist?
Over the years, the United States government has done some despicable things to people. We have the murder and relocation of the Native Americans. We have slavery, the Japanese internment camps, and the persecution of numerous religious groups. And with yesterday being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and with the current gun control legislation, I [...]
Keep It Secret. Keep It Safe.
There is much to be learned by Gandalf the Grey when it comes to being the responsible possessor and carrier of a source of extraordinary power. What typically makes a great lie believable is when there is a little truth mixed in, and what generally makes for a great fiction novel is when the reader [...]
Caching the Snubby Revolver
I recently finished reading the book, Amarillo Slim in a World Full of Fat People. It’s not a gun book, but a very entertaining read about the life of a gambler. In the book, he mentions that throughout his gambling days he always carried a .38 Special snub-nosed revolver in his pocket. I imagine there [...]
What if the Newspaper Exposed Your Address?
Last week I was interviewed by the Huffington Post about marriage and guns. The interview was about how spouses handle it when one spouse is into guns and the other is against guns. I’m not going to go into the interview here because awhile back I wrote an article about “How to Make Your Spouse [...]
