Scripting Your Attack
I'll have more about this for another website in the near future, but I was cleaning up my office today and I found a stash of tactical flashlights which I had gathered over the years. I have a lot of…
Three By Three By Three
Claude Werner has an interesting drill based on the "three yards, three rounds, three seconds" rubric for armed self defense. I'm neutral as to whether this idea is as applicable to the armed citizen as it is to law enforcement,…
Current Gear Obsessions
I have recently become hooked on the Jon Gadget YouTube channel, which highlights the bits of pieces of EDC (Everyday Carry) meant to make our lives easier and safer. I have had 30+ years experience with the idea of EDC…
