Common sense would dictate that they should, but that's not the question. Must an FFL (gun shop/pawn shop, etc.) train their employees in the proper care, handling, clearing procedures, display, etc., concerning firearms that might be found for sale in the place of business? Example: An...

Hoping someone can chime in with a little more info on this shotgun. I've found quite a bit of information on the internet but I simply don't know enough about these guns to narrow down the grade, etc. I love the old guns but it's just not my area of expertise. History of the gun: It was just...

This is an argument and does not necessarily reflect my opinion. ------- In terms of lethal force it is not difficult to understand that the term "reasonable" implies that another person of sound mind and judgment would likewise feel the risk of death or serious physical injury existed at...

GENERAL PUBLIC WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO COMPETE. I'm hoping a whole bunch of you HighRoaders will be able to make it to this match. It'll be run similar to an IDPA match with perhaps a little looser rules. There will be a couple of steel challenge type stages thrown in as well and you just...

I thought about putting this in a number of different categories, so "General Gun Discussions" it is. If it needs to be moved, please feel free. I know this is long (2 pages) but I am hoping that some ballisticians can dissect the information and tell me what is right/wrong with it. While I...

I tend not to put my faith into a tactic just because its premise has been asserted time and again. One such instance is that of “keeping the weapon hand free.” The argument is that should you need your weapon quickly, you should have nothing in your gun hand to slow you down. Repeated in law...

With my hopeful return from fighting in Afghanistan approaching this fall, I have been busy attempting to fulfill requests for training for military and law enforcement agencies. In an effort to schedule courses that are open to everyone, the first one to be finalized is now posted to the...

I am doing a little research on whether or not someone who otherwise employed a firearm justifiably in self defense, but was carrying in violation of the law (without a permit), has ever been charged and/or convicted of the CCW violation. To be clear, I am not talking about a felon or prohibited...

I was interviewed a couple of months back by an attorney that I work with on occasion. The interview just recently appeared in a professional legal journal. The topic of discussion surrounded the need for an expert witness in self-defense claim cases. Among others, the questions of talking to...

I missed this robbery by a very short time period. I was in the store and milling about near that same counter for several minutes. I know what I would have done. What would you have done? Though I don't know what he said you can see that he was at least implying he had a firearm...

I know an article I wrote was referenced on THR when the IDPA Tactical Journal first came out, but unless you are an IDPA member you might not see a hard copy of the Journal. Anyway, a recent article of mine is now posted online for all to see. It has just as much bearing on self defense as a...

I am attending an armorer's course this upcoming week. Admittedly, I am more of a shooter and instructor than a gun fixer. However, I have taken advantage of the opportunity to go. Of the list of required items, most are pretty straight forward. However, for the life of me I do not know what...

As a firearms instructor focusing on advanced level courses, I present roughly 20 open enrollment courses per year and another 10-20 private closed enrollment military and law enforcement courses. In years past, I have filled as many as six open enrollment combat shotgun courses, maintaining...

This is the course you want your loved ones to attend. Saturday, April 23, 2011. Register Now Very rarely will you see me offer a basic handgun course for general enrollment, but this one came about by special request of several of my more advanced students. It seems that many of them...

Osage Combatives will be hosting the "Low Light Handgun" course from 5pm~10pm on April 30, 2011 in the Fayetteville, NC area. Taking into account the relatively high ratio of shootings that occur under conditions of low light, this is an absolutely mandatory course for any student who would...

Thought you all might enjoy some pictures of these fine young Marines out of Camp Lejeune, NC. I taught a 2-day military tactical operation course this weekend that included the handgun, shotgun, and carbine. These are but a few pictures from the first day (Saturday). I will post more of the...
