Several years ago, when I was a lot younger, and had very little money, I ended up in Newark, New Jerseyfor business. If you’ve never been to Newark, it’s a lot like Baltimore City. And if you haven’t been to either, both places are pretty much dumps and you’re not missing much. When I got [...]

They Don’t Feel Safe
I am in a position that doesn’t lend to making friends at work. Because of what needed to be done, I fully expected this and this is what I do. I don’t claim to be perfect, but I have experience understanding what it takes to make a place profitable and a major part of that [...]
Oh Come To Old Faithful
As Christmas nears and the busy-ness of getting prepared weighs in heavier, those familiar two things seems to always happen; we become very focused on shopping, decorating, baking, standing in long lines, filling out Christmas cards, and running out of time, and we develop an almost magical belief that everyone in the world is a [...]
Why Reloading This Way Could Get You Killed
After teaching my concealed carry class on Saturday I headed over to the NRA range for some personal training time. Since I had just taught a class my gear was in a bunch of different boxes, and when I got to the range I couldn’t find my magazine pouch. After spending a while looking for [...]
Is That A Gun In Your Pocket?
Did you know that in 1987 the state ofFloridaissued the first concealed firearms permit? Ever since then we’ve been trying to perfect the whole “concealed” part, which includes making smaller and smaller firearms. These days there’s an endless array of pocket guns such as the Kel-Tec PF9… the Glock 26… the Kahr PM9… and the [...]
Tips for Winter Concealed Carry
When I was with the Agency, I did a lot of cold weather shooting. I remember shooting thousands of rounds with snow and ice covering the ground, bundled up like an Eskimo. And now that winter is slowly approaching, it’s time to prepare to carry in the cold once again and to consider the following [...]
Where We’re Headed
I recently read a 2003 article, contacted the author, and received his permission to breathe some more life into it. With H.R. 822, the “National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011” in the forefront, a bill that would enable millions of permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense while traveling outside their home states, I [...]
Holding Up the Bat Belt
You have been packing that pretty pistol around for a while now. You may also be carrying an offside magazine carrier and possibly even a clip on “survival knife”, flashlight holder, and cell-phone case. All the necessities of a concealed carrier’s life and all possibly carried on a belt. Regardless of how well made your [...]
Hearing Scheduled for H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011
For months we have been reporting on a critically important bill: H.R. 822—the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011. This vital NRA-backed legislation, introduced earlier this year by Congressmen Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) will enable millions of permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense while traveling outside their home states. Thanks to much [...]
Running Full Capacity
So there you are with your firearm drawn to the Low Ready Position after having just stopped two assailants who tried to run up on you with knives for no apparent reason at all. Your heart is racing, your mind is working overtime, your hands are sweaty, and if it wasn’t for all that fabulous [...]
What Mood Will Your Attacker Be In?
“Just do what they say and you are less likely to be hurt.” For many years this advice was given to airline pilots, bank tellers and citizens. A few highjackings later, pilots are no longer trained in the same way. Bank tellers are. What is the difference? Moods. In any violent situation, psychological analysis of [...]
I Want a Gun So Small I Can Conceal It Well
How many of you have heard someone say his? Said it yourself? I hear it a lot, having been instructing Arkansas concealed carry classes for over 9 years. I’m also not surprised when someone says, during or after the live fire section of the class, “I don’t really like this gun! My friend has one [...]
One More Example Why You Should Always Use a Holster
We hear about these incidents every so often. Guy has gun. Guy has no holster. Guy puts gun into pants. Guy shoots himself. Just this week a man in Phoenix, AZ was walking to a store with his girlfriend and decided to “secure” her pink handgun in the front of his pants. He had a negligent discharge [...]
How Many Rounds To Stop a Home Intruder?
It’s 3:00am and you hear your window break and footsteps on your main floor. Since your child lives in the basement you don’t have the option of locking your bedroom door and getting behind cover with your gun until the police arrive. Instead you have to go and confront the intruder to protect your family. [...]
