If It’s Cold Where You Are, Do THESE Drills Today
In most places, when it’s cold outside, everything seems to slow down. You’ve got to take time to bundle up and warm up your vehicle. You might have to drive slower. A lot of our time gets eaten up with snow removal and tending the fire (we heat with wood). Everything takes longer. And training…
Fined for NOT Bringing A Gun To Church? (What I carry to church now)
This last week, Virginia made it legal to carry guns and knives in churches again. That’s how it should be, but the irony is that men used to be fined if they forgot to bring their gun to church in Virginia. Virginia law stated, ”All men that are fitting to bear arms, shall bring their…
Just “knowing” how to shoot won’t cut it for self defense…here’s why
I used to love watching GI Joe cartoons. If you don’t remember or don’t know, they’d have little public service announcements like, “if some sketchy dude pulls up next to you in a van with the windows blacked out and asks if you want candy…say no!” And then they’d say, “Now you know…and knowing is…

How a charging moose made me change what I carry…
I did a podcast interview a couple of weeks ago with Jeff Anderson from Modern Combat And Survival Magazine. You can click >HERE< to hear the podcast: I was staying at Jeff’s a few months ago and he was fascinated with how I loaded my Glock magazines and wanted to share it with his listeners.…
Get Off The X: Shoot on the move or get to cover first?
In a fight for your life where bullets are going in both directions, movement can be the difference in who goes home and who doesn’t. But, there’s a continual debate about whether you should try to shoot on the move or move to cover AND THEN shoot. So, which is right? Which should you do?…
