“Thinking with a gun in your hand”
That’s the title of a new video with John Hearne, just published by Lucky Gunner. I’ve known John for a long time; I was privileged to be the pastor at his wedding some years ago. He’s an outstanding instructor, nationally recognized for his expertise, and conveys his material in an easy-to-understand way that’s a… Continue reading “Thinking with a gun in your hand”
When to stay and when to go?
My three part series of articles last week on “Updating and Revising our Approach to Self-Defense” has sparked e-correspondence with several readers. A common question from those in big cities, particularly those that have experienced, or are at high risk for, urban unrest, riots and looting, is “How will I know when it’s time… Continue reading When to stay and when to go?

That’s one way to stop criminals…
Courtesy of a link provided on MeWe, we find this video clip documenting how Brazilian motorists, plagued with thieves on motorcycles, are dealing with the problem. WARNING: It’s violent and pretty terminal, so if you’re sensitive to that sort of thing, don’t watch it. Click the tweet image below to be taken to the… Continue reading That’s one way to stop criminals…
Big Brother gets even more intrusive, and self-defense becomes even more difficult
A couple of years ago I wrote two articles about the danger of defending yourself in a progressive, left-wing, politically correct environment, such as is found in many “blue” cities and states. I made the point that the authorities there are increasingly going after those defending themselves, rather than those who attack them, due… Continue reading Big Brother gets even more intrusive, and self-defense becomes even more difficult
Another consideration when defending yourself in an anti-self-defense environment
I’ve written a couple of articles about defending yourself in an environment where the justice system is weaponized against you: Self-defense under a justice system that’s no longer on your side No, I wasn’t being alarmist – rather, I wasn’t alarmist enough In the first of those articles, dealing with politically-correct investigations and/or prosecutions,… Continue reading Another consideration when defending yourself in an anti-self-defense environment
A defensive long gun on a budget and under legal restrictions
I had an interesting exchange with a man who read my three-part article on the personal defensive rifle, and wanted me to address his specific situation. He has the following complications to deal with. He’s on a very limited budget – definitely below $500, and cheaper if possible. His state and city of residence… Continue reading A defensive long gun on a budget and under legal restrictions
