You Must Protect Your Business: Looters Hit Walgreens in San Francisco

March 25, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

With first responders stretched thin, and some Americans getting desperate, it's no surprise to see increased looting. In San Francisco a few days ago, looters hit a Walgreens, stealing from a rack of products before fleeing by jumping on a bus. Here's the story from Dave Urbanski at The Blaze: A brazen couple was caught on cellphone video casually looting a Walgreens in San Francisco amid the city's shelter-in-place order to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The clip shows the couple — both of whom wore dark sunglasses — in an aisle while the male grabs handful after handful of items … [Read more...]

You Need to Get Out of Your Survival Comfort Zone

October 1, 2019 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You cannot allow yourself to get into a survival comfort zone. It's easy to do. The best example is the time spent at the gun range. Are you sitting at the bench, firing round after round from the perfect position? Or do you test yourself in a variety of positions like prone, one-handed, and standing? Are you practicing your draw, or simply plinking away in controlled conditions? If you answered the latter, you're in a survival comfort zone. And you need to break out of it. A recent article in Guns America reminded me of the necessity of breaking out of your comfort zone. Jordan Voight … [Read more...]

How Often Can Armed Americans Successfully Defend Themselves?

April 12, 2019 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Jacob Paulsen at ConcealedCarry.com has taken the time to parse through some data from the FBI to uncover how successful armed citizens are at defending themselves during active shooter events. He writes: We decided to take a look at one specific metric that John Lott and the FBI didn't really consider. The success rate of armed citizens. John Lott's team did talk about the overall success rate of armed citizens against all Active Shooter incidents in the US but they failed to consider the most important variable. OPPORTUNITY. If we were to look at 100 active shooter events and an armed … [Read more...]

The Best Advice to Friends: Get Your Guns and Your Training Now

March 11, 2019 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

On his "best advice to friends" former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova told Fox News' Laura Ingraham, “I vote, and I buy guns. And that’s what you should do.” I've been telling readers for years to Get Your Gun and Your Training Now. Laws change, times change, but one thing will remain the same, the person in the best position to defend you and your family, is you. You can't do that without the proper tools and training. I've supplemented my regular range training with classes at Sig Sauer Academy, a top of the line shooting facility with world class instructors. You should get the best … [Read more...]

Is Your Right to Self Defense Protected by the Castle Doctrine?

February 11, 2019 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

In another case of a good guy with a gun stopping bad guys with a gun, a Florida homeowner shot and killed two burglars attempting to break into his home last week. The state of Florida was a pioneer in the protection of homeowners with its groundbreaking 2005 legislative protection of homeowners and victims. The law is known as the "Castle Doctrine," and protects Floridians from those who would seek to harm them. Fox News reports on the Florida homeowner who took the defense of his home against armed criminals into his own hands: Two men -- one of whom had a gun -- were shot and killed … [Read more...]

Is the Army’s New Handgun Right for You?

June 29, 2018 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

It's never a bad time to consider which gun is the right fit for you. Read through my take on the Army's choice of the Sig Sauer P320 from June 8, 2017. “Mr. Survival Guy, any thoughts here?” read an email in my inbox referring to the Army's February contract award to Sig Sauer as the sole producer for its new handgun. The contract is estimated to be worth $580 million over several years. Glock protested the award, but was rejected on Monday by the GAO. The Sig Sauer handgun that won the award is the P320. It’s a modular handgun which can be adapted to fit the shooter. This means the … [Read more...]

Survival Tactics: One Hand Tourniquet Application

May 16, 2018 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Wouldn’t it be terrible if you needed to self-apply a tourniquet with one hand? Of course, it would be terrible. But what would be worse is if you needed to do it and didn’t have one close by, or the know how to apply it. Here, my favored Sig Sauer Academy shows you how to do it. And for $9.99 you can do what I have done and keep one in your cars and perhaps your boat or RV. Tactical Tip: One Hand Tourniquet Application … [Read more...]

Get Your Gun and Your Training—NOW: Revisited

March 23, 2018 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Originally posted October 26, 2016. Your Second Amendment rights are on the line on November 8th. In a recent conversation with a gun store owner, he told me he cannot keep self-defense guns on the shelves. What he means is the concealed carry pistols are out of stock. What I have learned is how important it is to get your training before making any purchase. I’ve taken hours of coursework at my favored Sig Sauer Academy. A friend of mine just finished 10-hours of training with Surefire in Wyoming. Go to NRA.com to find training near you. You will not regret it. Dick Young wrote the piece … [Read more...]

Why Wouldn’t You Buy a Gun?

March 20, 2018 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

In Brazil each year there are around 60,000 murders committed with firearms. The U.S. averages slightly more than 8,000 each year. Still a sad statistic, but given that Brazil is home to slightly more than 200 million people, and the U.S. is home to over 325 million people, it's obvious that the rate of gun homicides in Brazil is much higher. The interesting part about Brazil's high gun homicide rate is that the civilian population has been disarmed. Only criminals have guns in Brazil. It's safe to say the disarmament policy has failed. Those calling for gun bans in America should take … [Read more...]
