When we go to a concealed carry permit class, we learn what we can and can’t do, where we can carry, where we can’t, and what the state says is justifiable use of deadly force. But, what I have never heard in any class I have attended, (I attend a class every six months, since […]
Enter into a conversation with anyone about concealed carry and the first issue will be what size pistol you should carry. My first recollection of that discussion was in 1983 with a police officer and Master Class IPSC shooter. At the time, semi-automatics were not approved firearms yet they were often carried “off-duty.” For many, […]
Gun – Walther PPS 9mm The Walther PPS in a single stack, striker fired, polymer framed semi-automatic pistol. It comes chambered in either 9mm or 40 S&W. Mine is in 9mm. Why the Walther versus the other single stack 9mms out there? First and foremost the Walther offered a wider variety of options than the […]
So your concealed carry permit just arrived in the mail and you’ve got a few hundred dollars in your bank account just begging to be spent on a new carry piece. Before you rush off to your local gun shop or sporting goods store, consider a few ‘do’s’ and ‘do not’s’ of purchasing your first […]

The ruling came in the long-running case of Peruta v. San Diego, which challenged California’s discretionary issuance of […]
In the 1970’s, terrorist kidnappings were widely feared and personal security teams were deployed by governments and the wealthy to protect likely kidnappees. The guys at H&K wanted to sell the MP-5 to these teams, but had to come up with a discreet way to carry it around. They built a polymer and aluminum brief […]
The victim changes roles from prey to predator and protects society from a violent sociopath. Great narration and explanation of the tactics involved. Well played sir. WARNING!!! This is a graphic shooting video. Video courtesy of YouTube
Recently, a Houston man was able to defend himself from carjacking using his concealed carry. The concealed carrier, Dedrick Moore, visited a local McDonald’s restaurant (where he ate regularly) to return a Redbox movie to a kiosk there. After returning the movie, two men approached Moore’s vehicle and forced him out of it and onto […]
There has been much discussion of self defense in gun free zones, and it brought to mind one of my favorite low aggro (that is, a tool that doesn’t appear conspicuously aggressive) self defense options: a tactical pen, like my Tuff Writer pen. But, before I give a detailed review on my Titanium EDC Gen […]
