I happen to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon.) I tell you this because of an interesting thing that happened to me last week at church. You have probably seen the Mormon missionaries riding around on bicycles in suits with their nametags attached to their front pockets. Well, [...]
Why I’m the World’s Best Husband
Today, you’re going to see why I’m pretty much the world’s best husband. You see, for a long time now my wife’s gun has been a revolver. However, for the past several months she’s been using my Glock 19 and I’ve been using my 1911 or my snub-nosed revolver when she did so. Well, the [...]
Getting Intimate with Violence: Part 2
Violence is a tool. That’s it……..Thanks for reading……. OK, I’m just kidding. Just as a gun, which is a tool, is praised and demonized for the results of its use; so goes the reputation of violence. A mother hawk brings food to the nest to feed her young. “She is so beautiful and caring. How [...]
Do This and You May Go To Jail
One of the most important things I try and teach people is when you’re justified in using a gun against another person. In my classes I get all types of questions such as “Can I shoot them in the foot, just to wound them?” Or “Can I pull out the gun and threaten them even [...]
Getting Intimate with Violence: Part 1
There is a lot of discussion on the subject of tactics. That word, tactic? It’s used A LOT! A tactic is a plan, procedure, or expedient for promoting a desired end or result. Tactical is the word used to describe the nature of something used in a tactic or set of tactics. This can range [...]
Why This Doctor Got a Gun
Saturday night I was at a Mardi Gras party. No, it wasn’t a wild and crazy party. It was a party hosted by one of my neighbors, and the family are good cooks, so obviously that was my incentive to attend. (My wife’s incentive was that she loves to socialize and mingle, which I do [...]
Defensive Intelligence™: Connecting the Dots (Continued)
A laboratory rat was subjected to electric shock accompanied by an audible tone. Very soon, after repetitive tone/shock cycles it displayed obvious fear to the tone, even without the shock. This is a simple example of an auditory association. But even after the auditory cortex was removed from its brain, effectively rendering the rat absolutely [...]
Wayne LaPierre at CPAC 2012
“The fight is on and the NRA is ALL IN!” says NRA CEO and EVP Wayne LaPierre at the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. “When the sun goes down on election day,” he says, “Barack Obama will have America’s gun owners to thank for his defeat.”
No More Seedy Hotel Rooms For Me
Several years ago, when I was a lot younger, and had very little money, I ended up in Newark, New Jerseyfor business. If you’ve never been to Newark, it’s a lot like Baltimore City. And if you haven’t been to either, both places are pretty much dumps and you’re not missing much. When I got [...]
How to Become a Firearms Instructor
I get a lot of folks asking me how they can become a firearms instructor, so today I’m going to tell you exactly what I’d do if I were you. Obviously, it helps if you have prior experience such a police or military, but I know plenty of instructors who don’t have either. However, they [...]
Defensive Intelligence: Connecting the Dots
I had just come to a stop when they pulled into my driveway directly behind me. Their headlights were set to high beams and I couldn’t see them for the glare in the rearview mirror. Chris was always showing up in a hurry, vehemently telling me to “get ready, we’re going out”. By the time [...]
6 Flashlight Shooting Techniques You Must Know
The majority of self-defense shootings occur during low-light or the night time. The exact statistics are all over the place, but I’ve most frequently seen them as saying 60% to 79% of shootings occur in these conditions. It’s for this very reason that I recommend you have a flashlight and carry it with you. At [...]
Front Sight, Squeeze, Follow Through
This sounds like very basic instruction for a novice shooter. You may expect to hear this in a concealed carry class or a basic firearms familiarization course. What many fail to understand about this saying, this concept, is that it applies to every level of shooting. There is a plaque at the U.S. Training Center, [...]
Why I No Longer Hate Starbucks
I am not a trendy person. I hate anything that’s trendy and that used to include Starbucks. I’ve probably been their less than five times in my life and that was when my wife or a friend would drag me there. First, I don’t drink coffee. Second, I could never figure out why it was [...]
