There are several practical elements one must address when determining the right concealed carry setup for an individual. These are the “how to” components, such as which firearm, the particular carry method, what holster, etc. But, concealed carry also requires one to analyze their fashion: will your clothing effectively conceal your carry gun?

“How on Earth do you conceal carry in those jeans?” is the most frequent question I receive with regard to ladies’ concealed carry. It also probably the most difficult question about women’s CCW to answer. Because I’m that kind of woman who has to make things difficult by wanting to conceal full-size +2lb pistols, I’ve gone […]

These fun guns remain popular and effective for civilians today. The M1 carbine became a US Army weapon on October 22, 1941. Of the 6,110,730 carbines of all types […]

The .30 Carbine round and specifically the M1 Carbine was tagged with a terrible rumor that it was ineffective and not lethal, there are hundreds of thousands of […]
If you carry a firearm, you should be carrying a med kit or IFAK (individual first aid kit.) The two go hand in hand really, if you get shot in a gunfight it sure will be convenient to have a med kit on hand. It will also come in handy should anybody else who doesn’t […]
