A Tale of Two Mothers

I’m a firm believer in everyone being armed and trained to use a firearm against another human being when warranted.

Why You Should Push Your Skills Beyond What You Think You’ll Need

They might have done a little shooting when they were young, or maybe some hunting or trap shooting, so they’re pretty sure they know exactly what they need for a defensive carry firearm. They pick some teeny-tiny “Noisy Cricket” (Men in Black reference), and when they get to the range, the gun kicks like a mule and is […]
