It has been lately, a flurry of heated discussion around here with my students. The basis for this argument is whether a tazer or some other form of stun device is a perfectly acceptable substitute for a handgun for self-defense. It all started with an off hand comment made by a local police chief during…

Defeating the “Legal Fear Mongering” with Concealed Carry
I have had a lot of students, friends and associates email me recently about how best to be prepared for the legal ramifications AFTER a justified shooting while carrying your concealed carry weapon in Texas or elsewhere. The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case once again brought this important issue to light, if not created an Atmosphere…

A Chair, a Bat and some Determination!!
Jeff Cooper famously said “Violent crime is feasible only if it’s victims are COWARDS.” This video proves that point. It also goes to show what can happen when CO’s work together against a common enemy and FIGHT! (Sidenote: Kudos to those fireman who came in and kicked ass!!!) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=da4_1373496138
Another Reason to Keep your Kids Close……….
This was one of the scariest kidnap incidents I have seen in a long time. As a parent I was on pins and needles through the entire video. Kudos to the Midwest City, OK Police Chief who saved the little girls life; he did not hesitate at the moment of truth and was textbook throughout…

The Armed Citizens Project
You know it only take a spark to start a fire? One small chemical reaction can start a blaze that can burn thousands of acres to ash. One of the few redeeming qualities of fire is it clears away the OLD so that the NEW can grow. I came across one of those sparks recently,…
The TRUE Pursuit of Liberty
I came across this article on Whiskey and Gunpowder, an awesome site with some really talented writers. I think this article hits the proverbial “Nail on the Head” when it comes to the CO’s anger, dissatisfaction and mistrust of the Federal Government as it stands currently. What is refreshing is the author not only pinpoints…
Urban-Guerilla Sniping v.3.0
“History is nothing else than a long succession of useless cruelties.” -Voltaire- When you look at the situation in Syria, you see the logic in Voltaire’s prose. I suppose it is the hopeless romantic in me that wishes for a world that is not filled with asshole tyrants and despots that take advantage of the…
Let’s put the “Memorial” back in Memorial Day 2013!
As a Veteran, I take very seriously three Holidays: July 4th, Veterans Day (Nov. 11th) and Memorial Day (May 27th). My reasoning for my seriousness is based on two things: My Understanding of History and My Dedication as a Patriot to the Foundational precepts of this Country. Let me first expound on the first reason…
