Does Carrying Actually Make You Safer?
0Posted By
When people I’ve known for a long time find out that I carry a firearm and that I’m now training people in concealed carry, they are often really shocked. Although I grew up in an area, where guns and bows have been a natural part of life, I hadn’t considered handguns as something I wanted…

We could write articles about holsters every day. There are thousands of options and everyone has a strong opinion on what is best, but it’s mostly about personal preference. What seems to be making a run for its money lately, is the belly band. The belly band is an on-body carry system that has a…

Sure enough, whichever one you get, you’re probably going to want a different one after that. Gun shopping is difficult. There are so many choices – make, model, caliber, design, but we’re…

As a shooting instructor and one who loves to be at the range, I’ve always found myself more prone to…
