The Obsolete/Outdated “Empty-Chamber” Pistol Carry Method
With the preceding post about the spineless liberals at the campus at UT-Austin in my home state of Texas promoting the “empty-chamber” method of handgun carry for carry on University campus grounds, I thought it appropriate to have one of HCS’ contributing authors and one of the leading authorities on handgun training and self-defense with…
UT-Austin’s Proposed Campus Carry Rules and “Israeli Carry”
We at SCC have made our opposition to UT-Austin’s proposed empty-chamber requirement loud and clear. As we’ve repeatedly stated, carrying a semiautomatic handgun with an empty chamber flies in the face of the standard training offered by every U.S. firearms school, police academy, and military branch. In fact, we know of only one professional fighting…
Dose of Truth: Anti-Semitism is Alive and Well in the World, but “Islamophobia” is more of a headline it seems…
Is it me or is there something terribly wrong with this picture? Trumps comments about denying Muslims entry into the U.S. created a HUGE stink, but not one word of this headline will ever cross all the major “news” outlets. Wake up folks!

Cartel Corner #37: Drug Traffickers “Spoofing” Border Surveillance Drones
The homeland security agency, and local law enforcement as well, are looking to harden its drones against attack, but that comes at a price. The drug cartels aren’t just buying golden Uzis anymore.
