Within America’s military, there is a never-ending emphasis on force readiness, which many associate with important things like equipment maintenance, training for personnel, and of course, the continued development of new, more advanced weapons platforms. However, from a logistical side, “readiness” means much more than ensuring our troops have the right gear and are trained […]

I’ve shot a lot of rounds in my life.  I was a pretty heavy volume shooter in my teens, chewing through case after case of .223, 7.63×39 and 12ga as well as various handgun calibers.  After I joined the military my volume went up drastically easily pushing tens of thousands of rounds downrange annually.  I was well […]

Drones have many uses, but recently they have been used to rescue two teenage boys that were caught in rough Australian waters well over 2,000 feet off shore. As they struggled with the waves, lifeguard Jai Sheridan noticed them and powered up their new, lifesaving drone. The drone flew to their aid and dropped off […]

The Remington 870 is one of my favorite shotguns for protection. It is simple to use, disassemble, reassemble, and troubleshoot. It has incredible stopping power and the mere sound of racking a new shell into the chamber is universally known, and feared. But what if you want a tool that can do more than one job? If you want […]

I am very skeptical about shooting without using sights, but I can’t argue that it can’t be done.  “Sight alignment”  can be accomplished without actually seeing the sights. The President of the Russian Practical Shooting Federation Vitaly Kryuchin is known for his “intuitive shooting” workshops. I wish I spoke enough Russian to attend one. I am not […]

Kyle Defoor is one of the few, if not the only firearms instructor that incorporates blade work and combatives into his training. We’re not talking about folding knives clipped to your pocket either. These are concealed fixed blades with one purpose. To defend your life with. Watch as Kyle goes over the knives he uses and a simple knife training method for practicing your […]

Helmet camera footage of a firefighter catching a child being thrown from a burning building in Georgia was released to the public on Sunday. In the footage, captured in DeKalb County just outside of Atlanta by Capt. Jackie Peckrul, a desperate father throws his child to a firefighter from the third floor of a burning […]

Whether or not to carry Condition One, that is, with a round in the chamber and safety engaged, is an argument that comes up in discussion very often with the guys I work with. Fortunately, I work full time with a bunch of other military guys so firearms is a constant topic of discussion. There are […]

Saturday the Civil Defense system in Hawaii sent out a mass alert regarding an inbound ballistic missile, sending many residents of the 50th state into a near panic. Luckily, the alert was an error. But what if it wasn’t? The fact is that the North Korean regime is trying to develop a nuclear delivery capability. […]

There’s no questioning that most of us would prefer a reliable firearm than most other weapons in a survival situation. Whether we’re talking about a failure of the electrical grid brought about by an EMP attack or being overrun by zombie hordes, a gun offers security and in many circumstances, the means to hunt for […]
