Guns don’t kill

The school shooting in Florida has quickly fanned the flames for the anti-gunners.  Predictably, the liberals have screamed to ban the evil gun that did the killing.  Conveniently ignored is another recent active shooter in Texas who was stopped by an NRA instructor with an AR15. This most recent event, this specific event, by itself,…

What Belt Are You?

WHAT BELT ARE YOU? For some unknown reason (to me), learning defensive shooting skills is viewed differently than other martial skills.  If I asked what learning boxing or karate looked like, most would describe a process that included, at a minimum, weekly training over an extended period. As a kid, when I walked into the…

Rant.

My political position as a gun owner won’t surprise anyone but… Why does anyone need an AR15?  You are not entitled to an answer to that question.  The U.S. Constitution says I can have one or not, my choice.  Just like I’m not entitled to ask why the Tide Pod eating Millennial wants to complain…

I don’t see giving up it’s place in my arsenal anytime…

I can’t imagine!

Reading through some of the news stories on the Florida school shooting I saw something odd.  A teacher from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where the shooting took place said she never imagined something like that could happen.  How is that possible?  How could any teacher, at any school, not imagine a school shooting? …

Appendix Carry

The following is not in favor of or against appendix carry, but rather an observation of the argument against it. I try to listen when knowledgeable people discuss tactics and techniques, I’ve learned a great deal because of someone else’s perspective on a given topic.  Likewise, I will call BS when I hear it.  When…
