A number of years ago now, when I took an all-day concealed-carry course at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH, our instructor began the class by asking, “Should you conceal carry?” We were quiet as he scanned the class. Then, a few hands went up. “Yes, especially with how crazy things are where I live,” began one older gentleman. "My dog was shot last month by some kid. That’s why I’m here.” “Yes," responded another woman there by herself. "I’ve been around law enforcement administratively long enough now where too many bad guys know my face,” she said. “All good reasons,” said the … [Read more...]

Get Shooting Roy Rogers Style Before Biden’s Gun Bans
In my conversations with you, you’re telling me you want firearms training. And you want to know where to get it. You know about my professional training at Sig Sauer in Epping, NH here, here, here, and here. But not all of you can get there. My advice: Go to your local gun shop and ask around, or visit the NRA’s website. A friend of mine had a great experience training with SureFire, and it’s important to remember these companies offer off location options too. You might want to hurry too. Joe Biden's team is already talking about the gun control measures it wants in place. Ryan Cleckner, … [Read more...]
FedEx Driver Shot in the Neck: Defund Police?
You saw what blue-state politicians did to their states and cities this summer. They allowed looters and rioters to run rampant, and attacked law enforcement with a push to "defund the police." In New York, even before the riots, politicians were attacking the ability of law enforcement to keep crime under control by eliminating bail requirements for many crimes. The politicians got what they wished for as crime spiked. Now New York City is enduring a 14-year high in gun violence, and the city's police Commissioner Dermot Shea blames the bail reform measure directly. The Daily Mail reports … [Read more...]
The Fundamental Rights of Citizens Are Being Denied
Even in Deep Blue States, Firearms Training Courses Are Packed
Even in the Democrat-blue New England states like Rhode Island, Americans are telling their governments "You ain't takin my guns." In fact, at the Newport Rifle Club in Middletown, RI, instructors simply can't offer enough classes to meet all the demand for training. The Newport Daily News reports (abridged): MIDDLETOWN — Interest has been so strong and registration so swift for a February pistol course at the Newport Rifle Club that the club’s chief instructor scheduled an additional class for March. “I wasn’t planning on holding a class in March,” David Balasco said. But the National … [Read more...]
Gov. DeSantis Backs Floridians’ Right to Protect Their Businesses
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants his constituents to be free to protect their families and businesses from riots and looting. He has proposed legislation that would allow Floridians to fight back against the chaos. Fox News reports: DeSantis’ newest legislation comes in response to months of protesting that frequently lead to rioting this summer in Florida and across the U.S., following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. The legislation is an attempt to prevent “violent and disorderly … [Read more...]
#1 Reason Why Your Survival Guy Owns an AR-10
Your Survival Guy filled out paperwork last night for an ArmaLite AR-10. For those of you wondering why, I did it for three reasons. For one, I have a friend who owns a ranch in Texas—an expanse as far as the eye can see. He owns an AR-10. Your Survival guy was intrigued. Second, I see it as a complement to my AR-15. The caliber ammo for an AR-10 is .308. An AR-15 .223. Unless you’ve been living in Joe Biden’s basement the last few months, you know ammo is as rare as hens’ teeth—and expensive. A little diversification never hurt no one. Your Survival Guy also hung around the gun club last … [Read more...]
Here’s Why Biden Picked Kamala Harris for Veep
Originally posted August 12, 2020. You’re telling me you want your Guns and Your Training. I’m telling you to do it now because, with Kamala Harris as Biden’s pick for VP, you can bet they’re coming for yours. Harris is a puppet for the anti-gunning billionaire elites that have not a clue how to protect their family without hired help. Elites tell you an AR-15 is a machine gun. That’s just stupid. An elite will tell you “they’ll never be a public servant” because public servants work for them (or they have a guy who knows a guy). “Who wants the aggravation?” they say. Elites escape the … [Read more...]
Will You Be Ready When the Mob Comes a Knockin’?
Are you prepared for winter? I hope you are. This one might be a tough one. You know that along with strengthening your immunity and getting your guns and your training (read here, here, here, and here for starters), you also need to consider the violence spreading to the burbs. It’s tragic, especially if you live in the blue states/cities, you see how leaders have prolonged the devastation from this virus for their own political gain. Take a look at the 2,000-plus page, $2.2 trillion with a “t”, Pelosi pork-ridden relief bill, and the largest line item by far is $436 billion for, wait … [Read more...]
