And now, with MGM/Mandalay Bay facing lawsuits alleging culpability in the October massacre, the questions remain: How can we stay safe, and what responsibility do we have to foresee the unthinkable? Former Navy SEAL and FBI Special Agent […]
As some SOFREP readers may be aware, I didn’t start my journey into firearms as a Glock guy – in fact, the first legitimate firearm I ever purchased was by trusty old 1911.
