Developing a Personal Protection Plan and securing your Home – Home Defense

There are many instances in which art does not imitate life. For example, you watched a movie the other night and saw a good guy reach into his nightstand drawer, pull out a gun and fend off an intruder. While many movies and television shows portray fending off bad guys as simple tasks, that is…

Dry Fire Practice Drills – With A Purpose

Developing skills with your firearm takes practice.  This usually means setting aside several hours of your time.  You will need to collect all your gear, schedule range time, get to the range and set-up, complete your training and then, reverse the order.  This allotment of time is often what stops us from getting the practice…

Atrocious Study of Social Gun Culture Undermines Credibility of Public Health Research on Guns

Gun Culture 2.0 I was interested to learn recently about the SOUL Study — SOUL here standing for SOial gUn cuLture.
