Ask the officer (politely) why he feels the need to carry a gun on his hip. Nothing is more hypocritical than someone who carries a gun openly for a living challenging another person on why they own a gun. If the world is such a safe and fuzzy place that the officer's question is relevant then...

There have been some violent flash mobs in downtown Kansas City. So far I haven't heard of any serious injuries but they have been showing up and harassing customers in the plaza verbally and physically. As with any mob situation, it doesn't take much to cross that line though. On the...

Depending on the set up of your bed frame, you may be able to cable lock through the actions of the guns through two sides of the bedframe. That way a crook would at least have to take all your guns in bulk and two pieces of bedframe if they took your guns.

I have yet to meet the person that is condition yellow ALL the time and I associate with quite a lot of people who have varying levels of PTSD. I am almost always in condition yellow when on the move though; be it a parking lot or driving my car (all people should be in yellow when driving...

I know a pretty well known instructor that has a flexible adhesive lens pasted to the part of his strong eye shooting glasses that he looks through when shooting a pistol. Not sure who makes them or how expensive they are but it sounds like it would work for you. I use a similar set up on my...

^ This. I practice the art of click, pow.

The reason shotgun courses are dwindling is because the AR is the flavor of the day. There is a lot of bandwagon shooters out there who don't know what they are doing that just go with popular opinion on what they should use. It doesn't hurt that the current popular opinion supports the...

Dr. Rob, This one rates a story:)

The modern squared stance is better for movement and controlling recoil. Like WNTFW said, on full auto you want to be squared rather than bladed. If you get the opportunity you should try and shoot an MP-5 sometime bladed like a rifleman stance and then squared and you will see the difference...

The Lesson: Always have an answer prepared.

FriedRice, yes the position of the weak hand that you described is simply to keep from shooting yourself, although it does mimic some defensive postures that you can use to protect your head/neck. There are much more effective ways to defend yourself with your off hand but it is not safe to...

This is true. A good reminder that self defense outside your home is a sticky issue and can be very foggy if it ends up in court. What if you shoot one of these guys because you are outnumbered 3 to 1 and cornered, have genuine reason to fear for your life, and perhaps notice that they all...

First, as others have said, printing is not illegal in Texas. Second, unless there is an obvious gun shaped bulge that is undeniably a gun then the issue is a moot point. A police officer does not have the right to just come up to and demand to search anything you are carrying...this is why...

Very interesting. I am always leery of anyone coming up behind me on a deserted street at night, even worse if they cross the street from the other side of the street to my side of the street like this guy describes. Usually I use the opportunity to cross over to the other side of the street...

Not true at all. Pistols in austere environments require constant cleaning, as do M-4's for that matter, in order to function properly. The reason we carry autoloaders is for rate of fire and the ability to carry more ammunition in spare magazines on our person because it is easier to reload...
