Defending Property Or Defending Yourself? It’s A Blurry Line People Often Get Wrong.

Tearing Down The Concealed Carry Paper Ceiling
You might have to hit me over the head a few times, but I like to think I eventually learn. Thanks to Karl Rehn, we learned that most gun owners never take more advanced firearms classes than the minimum required to get their concealed carry permits. Add to that my state becoming the 28th state […]
In a Time of Terrorism, Restricting Lawful Carry is a Deadly Mistake
FBI Director Christopher Wray must be frustrated. He issued one of the strongest terrorism warnings earlier this week, but few seemed to notice and even fewer seemed to care.

Felony Stupid: Hammer-Wielding Man Tries To Force Entry To Rural Texas Residence

Armed Self-Defense is More Effective When You Have Thought About it and Practiced it in Advance
Every situation is different. This week we reported on several violent attacks and each had their own motivation. One was a robbery of personal jewelry. One was drug-related. This story was an ex-boyfriend who was hunting for the victim in her home. Domestic abuse is common enough, but it becomes particularly dangerous when the victim ends […]
Personal Defense: Do You Have the Skills Needed to Make the Shot?
