      Review: the EPIC wearable video camera shootout!

      I have always thought that documenting one's shooting/training activities with photos and/or video is a good idea, as it provides a permanent record that can be referred back to later for educational or entertainment purposes. The camera doesn't lie; it will show you the good as well as the bad...

      Mandatory Firearms Training?

      Since my decision last year to own a handgun, I automatically notice any news stories that involve firearms simply because of the gray area concerning when it is, and when it is not, okay to draw, aim, and discharge a gun. Since that time, it seems that those who are involved in accidents are...

      Do You Favor National Concealed Carry If Training/Certification Is Required? I have a question for this group, after reading many varying opinions on other online forums: Would you be a supporter of a nationwide Concealed Carry permit if training and/or certification were required? For the...

      Changing Your EDC for Winter Because of Gloves

      Short version of this post: Possibility of PW4 in February. Possibility of cold-weather CQC training class with HandK. Got me thinking about working my weapon with my winter gloves on. (This has nothing to do with using a bigger gun for winter and smaller for summer.) Does anybody else...

      Is our training adequate?

      I think we can all agree that marksmanship training is essential to firearms ownership, but as the students in the video demonstrate, an active shooter scenario incorporates a lot more factors than a stationary paper target on a controlled range. I know we all have the "that won't happen to me"...

      Two to the chest and one to the head..blah, blah, blah

      Over the last two years and running hundreds of scenarios with airsofts I have not had one person report that they were able to target/aim for the head during a scenario. We also seldom have anyone hit in the head. Maybe 1 in every class or so. And the majority of the confrontations shots are...

      Holster for support hand carry?

      I have a mild sprain on my carry arm. (RH) as I put on the holster today and thought about the need to draw and potentially fire, I was wondering if my strong side arm would be able to do so. Tis got me to thinking, it may b1-2 weeks for the arm to fully heal. It makes me think that I should...

      The "Center Mass" Myth and Ending a Gunfight

      Jim Higgenbotham takes the shoot for centre of mass school of thought to task. Yeah, it may be easier to hit, but are you going to actually take the assailant out of the fight? Maybe you will, but there's a good chance they may stay in the fight. This is a good article that makes some important...

      Where would you shoot a bad guy in self defense?

      So I'm curious. You're in a situation where you have to defend yourself. Either in your home, on the street, wherever. You pull out your gun, and you shoot the bad guy. Where do you aim for? Do you aim for the head, and take him down with one shot? Or would you aim for the chest, knowing...

      Senate Bill 304. Further Infringements.

      Ammoland is reporting on a bill currently in the state Senate that would require training classes before you're allowed to own a firearm. This is unconscionable and something that folks better get in touch with their senators over. Kill it with fire. From Ammoland A bit more at the source.

      Giving yourself PERMISSION to use deadly force

      OK, lets get down to the nitty gritty. I have a buddy who teaches self defence, and he tells me that mentally, you have to have already given yourself permission to use deadly force in certain instances, of you might freeze, not wanting to HURT/KILL someone and end up dead yourself. Its easy...

      Percentage of training vs gear

      Overall what do you think the percentage is for you? I am talking everything from first aid to field craft. Guns to cooking. Whatever. I would say I am 70/30. Are you as high speed as your gear is? You have to have gear with you to be of any worth. Training is something you always have...
