Pro Guns, Gear, Tactics, Training, & Discussion
Ideas & Concepts,
This is not a discussion of the tragic event in Texas. This is a generic overview discussion about active shooter incidents, the every day carry citizen, and how it relates to law enforcement response- a rational and non-emotional discussion from 10,000 feet. Hopefully this provides context to what people see and why it occurs. Public… read more »
It’s time to hold people accountable for their actions and not the innocent law abiding citizens who have not done wrong. We have three main sources of violence: -Criminal action -Political/religious extremist action -Mental illness which creates violent/aggressive behavior We have laws covering about every issue imaginable. More laws don’t stop criminals from breaking the… read more »
When I was young and eager to learn everything gun related, I had believed defensive pistol ammo had to be some form of hollow point to be effective. The more I learned what duty and sub pistol calibers did, the more I understood how other options fit the defensive paradigm. Let’s first establish what we… read more »
According to me, there are a couple assessments to make when choosing a defensive option. Everything pictured is a viable option depending on task when fed the right ammo.

People demand deescalation training for cops without knowing what deescalation actually is…. read more »

It seems people let convenience and comfort dictate, thus making their carry firearm a magic talisman to ward off evil…. read more »
When it comes to the reality of deadly force application, there is a lot of misinformation pushed by emotional appeals. This isn’t about “works for me” or someone’s “freedom to choose”- this is about the gravity of making good versus bad decisions. These decisions start with our investments. Investments in weapons, supporting equipment, and most… read more »
Be cautious with whom you take courses from. General law enforcement and/or military experience does not make someone an instructor. Being a high level competitor does not make someone an instructor. NRA courses check a box for some organizations but does not make someone an instructor. …but they have a cert that says instructor… if… read more »
