      I'm spreading a rumor

      Kathleen Parker: "Let's Give Sanity a Shot with Gun Laws"

      And the mainstream media wonders why their readership and viewership has tanked. Just today I saw on Drudge that 54,000 print media jobs have been axed since 2003. Hopefully Kathleen will be one of the next 50,000 here real soon. John

      Effective Instructor: "Combat" Experience Required?

      Not sure what it's like in Indiana, which has a bevy of good instructors from what I've heard and seen, but over the border to your west, here's what I've seen with GSL Defense Training in our entry level class. Most of our students are fairly new to handguns, and probably (before this year...

      Effective Instructor: "Combat" Experience Required?

      I'm with Shay. I have seen first-hand that “military” and “police” listed in someone’s credentials doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to what concealed carry licensees need to be taught. Your class shouldn't be like boot camp or police academy. What matters is instructors’ ability to...

      Check out the "training pics from Il CCL classes

      We've seen plenty of scary photos. Here's a couple more... Hope that's a really tall berm... High drag, low speed, shoot your buddy in the back drill. These two are from a school where the company's owner has recently been arrested on his third D.V. charge. He's probably got his...

      Why is Indiana Accepting Illinois Concealed Licenses???

      Rest assured, we're going to be working to remove the head phallus (Gov. Pat Clueless Quinn) and we will be seeking changes, including reciprocity after he's gone. John

      Transporting Handgun through IL.

      Bill B gets a +1 on his reputation. He's spot on. And, the irony that you can carry as a non-resident with a permit (in your car) when I, as a resident, can't, isn't lost upon me. John

      Training is too expensive

      Indiana is blessed to have a lot of good instructors offering good classes. And then there were the national "masters" who would come as well... Farnam, Rogers, Tarani, and the list goes on and on. I've taken a lot of good classes over in Indiana and look forward to taking more. I want to...

      What HAVE you carried?

      EDC is a G19 for thirteen-ish years, with a few breaks with a Kel-Tec P11 (typically summers). All told, in the 90s I carried a Beretta 92. I also feel just fine with a S&W Mod 65. G17, 26 get carried from time to time. And a P3AT. I guess you could say I've carried an XD45 too, but after a...

      Force-On-Force/Scenario-based Training - Dec 14, Fortress Defense

      I echo Rhino's comments. If I didn't have a chance to train a former Miss America that day, I suspect I'd be there myself. But you know, a fella doesn't get a Miss America in his class every day...

      Wife & friends robbed at gunpoint at my own house

      An Illinois Carry Question

      Beezer: You would be required to unload your gun and case it in something (box, bag, etc.) before stepping out of your car. Once you're in your room, you could reload. That's how one is "supposed" to do it. Ah, gotta love these Illinois laws. It's a small price to pay to keep Chicago...

      An Illinois Carry Question

      Good advice here. And the irony that non-residents may carry in their vehicles when I as a resident can't (aren't supposed to) isn't lost upon me. John

      Troy Industries has lost my business!!

      I put this up tonight after Troy's Facebook page claimed we (Guns Save Life) were mistaken in our initial post. ============== The more they delay and hide things, the worse it's looking for them. Monroe would have taken that shot. Heck, he admitted that he would have shot any of those...

      Self Defense Insurance?

      Ditto. I'm a member. Highly recommend it. I encourage my students to consider it - at $120ish per year - for any of them who carry any sort of weapon with them for self-defense. John

      Getting involved post-Zimmerman

      I hope the Zimmerman case doesn't cost the lives of good people who hesitate too long based upon worries from watching this case play out.

      Now that Illinois has joined the rest of the country....

      We're only halfway home with the bill landing on Quinn's desk. Given his rabid anti-gun tendencies, I'm looking for him to stall it for almost sixty days, then to offer an amendatory veto, rewriting big parts of the bill to suit him and sending it back to the legislature. In so many words...
