Ladies, do you want to concealed carry but don’t want to give up wearing the styles you love? You’re not alone. I can personally attest to the challenges of making feminine fashion coincide with CCW practicality. Over the past couple of years that I’ve been carrying, I’ve learned through a great deal of trial, error, and shopping around, a […]
To the joy of self-defense minded firearms owners throughout the state, Illinois recently passed concealed carry legislation. However, the law is rather restrictive (it establishes the lengthiest training requirement in the country — 16 hours). Some of those restrictions prevent CCW permit holders from carrying in several locations, including stadiums, government buildings, various forms of public […]
The SIG P365 shook the industry up just a few weeks ago. The P365 wasn’t just another mini concealed carry gun with a polymer frame. SIG was promising something new. If you just looked at SIG’s publications you didn’t see the real potential of the gun. The pictures were vague and they didn’t put much […]
Recently, a fitness club member was involuntarily committed to a mental health institution for a psych evaluation when he was found carrying concealed firearms at his gym. Initially, the cops were called to address an employee who felt she was being harassed by the man. However, after questioning him, the officers found the concealed firearms […]
A couple of days ago, my mother gave me a call. From the moment I answered the phone, I could sense that something was wrong. She sounded uncomfortable, and even a little scared. While making a quick trip out to the local Super Walmart, she had leaned over to grab something off a low shelf, […]
Low bore axis. I often deride the term as kind of dumb. People like to mention SIG’s high bore axis, or Glock high bore axis and complain about muzzle flip. I generally think these people just need to learn how to hold a gun. But there exists a small sliver of me believing just how […]
I’m a big fan of AlienGear, eagle eyed readers and that one weird stalker fan of mine may have noticed I’ve written about the ShapeShift series quite a bit. So I was excited to swing by their booth at SHOT Show and check out the ShapeShift Shoulder rig. Don’t get me wrong I checked out […]
When Wisconsin first permitted concealed carry, thousands of permit applications flooded the Department of Justice within the first year, my own included. As you may have guessed, the DOJ was unprepared for the tidal wave of response, and sending out permits was backed up for several weeks. While I waited anxiously, checking the mail every […]
Whether or not to carry Condition One, that is, with a round in the chamber and safety engaged, is an argument that comes up in discussion very often with the guys I work with. Fortunately, I work full time with a bunch of other military guys so firearms is a constant topic of discussion. There are […]
Gun safes are the most secure options for firearm storage, reducing the access unwanted hands may have for your guns with layers of steel and various locking mechanisms (digital keypad, combination, fingerprints, or a combination). However, those of us without little ones in the home have an additional option when considering how to stow our […]
