There are a lot of practices that are industry-wide that many would have you believe are correct. Not only are they not correct, they’re sometimes dangerous. These are things that, as far as I can tell, need to go away completely, or at least be fixed. Some of these are based in merit and have […]
An Often Unthought Of Way To Better Prepare Yourself For Self-Defense
If you carry a gun for self-defense, or plan to, it is a commitment that cannot be taken lightly. It is your job before you ever even have to draw your pistol to be as prepared as possible, so you can actually defend yourself. This article is meant to help you get better prepared for […]
Why Training To Shoot And Move Could Save Your Life
It’s no secret that I’m a big proponent of concealed carry (or open carry if you’re so inclined). I think that every person in the United States should carry a gun for self-defense. The reasons why are numerous, but suffice it to say that you cannot rely on anyone, including the government, to save you. […]
Should I Carry With A Round In The Chamber?
Over time, I’ve admittedly began to run out of things to write about concerning guns. If you look, our humble little blog has nearly 800 posts on it, most of which are written by me. It should come as no surprise that I’ve got nothing left to say. So, it’s nice when I can look […]

How To Be The Grey Man in a Crowd
A grey man is one who fits in. He doesn’t look tactical in any way and fits in like he is supposed to be there. Please know that when I say “man” I’m also including the better looking, not to mention smarter, of our species. Then again, women tend to fit in better than men […]
Kore Essentials EDC Gun Belt Review
A good belt is one of the most overlooked parts of carrying a gun. A lot of folks put hundreds or thousands of dollars in their gun and holster rig, only to use a cheap, weak, and flimsy piece of leather to hold it to their body. If you couldn’t tell by my snarky tone, […]
Carbine Self Defense Principles
I am fortunate to live where carry of a firearm in a vehicle is not a legal concern and therefore routinely have a carbine readily accessible in my car and home at all times.
