Tell Me A Story
Earlier this month, I had a chance to talk at length with Michael Bane about any number of topics. Not surprisingly, the topic of firearms training came up quite often. In talking with Michael, I was able to get a…
The V Word
“Vulnerability.” We don’t like to talk about it, because pretty much the entire firearms and self-defense industry is built around eliminating vulnerabilities in our lives. Can’t defend yourself against a bad guy with a gun? Take a class (preferably one…
