    Another example of intervention gone wrong

    Call the police, get cell phone video if possible (very important evidence for possible prosecution if the victim isn't cooperative), descriptions of clothing, vehicle, license plates, last known direction of travel etc. There's a fine line between minding your own business and getting...

    Need a small weapon light

    You are very much correct. What she needs is a flashlight and a pistol with a WML. Ideally the gun would be in a holster on the nightstand.

    Home Defense Shot Size

    Pain isn't what we depend on to stop a threat. Pain may or may not work but physical damage is more predictable and reliable. I'd choose either double or triple buck. Smaller shot may work ok but it really shouldn't be too difficult to get your hands on some proper rounds. Just check your...

    Things to Not Do

    I believe many people would prioritize not going to prison over maintaining firearm rights. One would have to have a serious conversation with their lawyer about their chances in a trial.

    Hitchcock 45's hearing protection.

    People forget that sound doesn't just travel through the open ear but also through the bone surrounding your ears so it's important to wear muffs for full protection.

    Another example of intervention gone wrong

    Domestics are tricky because there is a fine line between someone being a victim and a willing participant in a dysfunctional relationship. Observe from a distance and call the police.

    There may be some Facebook groups in your area. You could possibly make connections that way.

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    If someone plans to shoot accurately and quickly enough to stop a charge then they need all the practice they can get with the same ammo they'll be shooting or at least it's equivalent. The concept of downloading for practice works good for target shooting but for high stress scenarios it needs...

    My Carry Routine

    It's a principle as old as the Bible; a soft answer turns away wrath. I've seen it work time and time again on the job. As long as one is physically capable of backing up their soft answer with appropriate defensive force, the firm but gentle reply is the smart reply and the results are almost...

    My Carry Routine

    We have no right to not be approached in public spaces regardless of whether or not you instruct them to stay back. Whether or not you are justified in using a particular degree or force on someone who approaches you will depend on their demeanor and perceived intent and how well you can...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    Shooting a 44 magnum one handed with a flashlight in the other would be no joke and something I bet almost no one has ever tried and if they have, they probably only fired a few rounds and no dedicated practice. If I was hiking or moving around camp after dark with a hand held light and had a...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    This is actually a really good point. Encounters could easily happen in low light or darkness and a weapon light could be a game changer. I'd don't think many are practicing to shoot their 44 mags quickly with one hand holding a flashlight.

    You've Come a Long Way, Baby...

    If I'm personally in any sort of significant danger then I care. Otherwise I don't care in the least what someone on YouTube or some fictional movie character does that's safe or unsafe. It's an unsafe world and people do unsafe things all the time but it seems like only the gun community gets...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    Capacity is the least of my concerns for stopping a charging bear or moose because no matter which gun you choose you're only getting 2 or 3 shots. These animals move faster than you'd ever imagine when they're charging. Speed and accuracy are the most important factors followed closely by a...

    Simunition Training

    I can't think of any in Florida offhand but one thing to lay attention to is that you can't just buy Sim rounds so make sure the class provides them

    The Knock-Out Game

    One can scour the internet for reported cases that fit the description but there won't be any accuracy as to the real numbers.

    The Knock-Out Game

    Not every state even calls it battery. Some states call it assault. There's no distinction between assault/battery with punches vs kicks vs slaps or the ambush or confrontation method used. It's all coded the same for the most part. There's also no way to differentiate an assault that...

    You've Come a Long Way, Baby...

    Gun safety as we know it didn't always exist. I try to use impeccable safety habits with my personal firearm use but I don't buy into this current, almost weird obsession with calling out safety violations that people see online. If I'm not there being personally affected then I really don't care.

    Hold over or under?

    There won't be a hold over at defensive handgun distances.

    Ankle IFAK advice

    A tourniquet is really about all that makes sense to carry on a regular basis unless it's in a bag or attached to mil/le gear. A TQ is always a good thing to have nearby for a multitude of possible injuries aside from gunshot wounds.
