Should I Carry With A Round In The Chamber?

Five Pro Red Dot Training Tips from Green Ops Training

October 13, 2022 By Terry Nelson

Red Dot Pistol Training I have been shooting handguns for over 45 years; 35 of those as a law enforcement firearms instructor.

March 29, 2022 By Terry Nelson

All of us have an inherent right of self-defense. Concealed carry or open carry training be damned. Right? But is the trend towards constitutional carry without any training necessarily a good thing?   In all likelihood, no.
