Last week (as I type this) I had the opportunity to attend some training focused around school shooters. As always happens with me when I attend or discuss such things, my thoughts travel to how we raise our children today and how few people appear to be teaching their children not to be a victim. Now I’m not talking about teaching your children to fight for the sake of fighting or to prove their a man or some such nonsense. I’m talking about a willingness to stand and defend one’s self, one’s family and one’s property. That willingness to enter conflict to defend or protect is a warrior mindset, if you will, that I believe should be taught to every young American yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever.

As it was last week with the snow, so it is today with the snow. Wind-driven snow is coming down thick and heavy between my office and the house across the street with a cold freeze predicted for tonight. Washington, D.C. is socked in deeply. Trains and buses are not running. Planes are not flying. The blizzard came across from the southwest and is beating hard toward the northeast and New England dumping a great white blanket along the way. Some areas already have or expect 20 inches. Communications told us it was coming… Now it is here. Read the rest of this entry »

A few months back I produced an article about what I considered necessary in my minimum home armory. I also posed the question to our readership about what they felt was necessary. Below is what I got back. I’ve included their (only edited for understanding) emails and a few comments of my own. All my comments are italicized. Read the rest of this entry »

For those of you who were not aware, I am a fan of the television show NCIS. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, as played by Mark Harmon, has a set of rules that he lives by. Throughout the course of the show he quotes the various rules and there are any number of websites you can visit to get a list. A couple of my favorites are: Read the rest of this entry »

As I read the plethora of Handgun, Shooting, Combat, SWAT, magazines I am perplexed. Everyone has their own style of training always use “One Hand” in a close or CQB situation. Always use “Two Hands” at a distance or use the Weaver stance, NO only use the “Isosceles” stance always do this never do that etc. I also read things like: Don’t train on square range. Force on Force is the only real way to learn combat shooting skills. Classroom Training “Talking” is for those who can’t really shoot ….just get out on the range and shoot. Combat Focus is the new wave of handgun training. Read the rest of this entry »

As I type this there is measurable snow on the ground in 49 of the 50 United States. Hawaii is getting off lucky at the moment. There have been plenty of jokes about global warming, climate change, and all this snow being Al Gore’s answer to cool off the northern hemisphere. If so many of my neighbors hadn’t sent every day of the last week shoveling more snow out of their driveways, off their decks, and – in some cases – off their roof, I’d be able to find the jokes funny. As it is, between power outages, mass runs on certain items at grocery stores, restricted emergency vehicle access due to downed trees and unplowed roads, I don’t see much to laugh about. It occurred to me about halfway through the week that there are probably some lessons to be learned. At that point I started taking a few notes and thought I’d share them. Hopefully they will be of some value. Read the rest of this entry »

There are a tremendous number of benefits from living in the United States. Premier among them is our liberty; our freedom. This ideal was a part of our society even before we broke the shackles of the King, and our founders tried to capture the spirit of it in the Declaration and the Constitution.

Each month when I sit down to type out my Letter From The Editor I have to sit and think back across the previous few weeks and attempt to remember all the things I saw or heard and thought, “I need to talk about that in my LFTE.” Well, since I don’t take notes, it usually doesn’t work out so well. This month though there are a few easy things to remember and talk (briefly) about. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning I saw a news article about another Senator who has decided not to seek re-election this fall. To him, first I say, “Congratulations on your intelligent decision,” and second I say, “No thanks to you we still have this mess to clean up.” I never heard of Senator Bayh before and I haven’t looked at his record. For all I know he’s voted intelligently and acted with a reasonable outlook. However, since the mainstream media is describing him as a centrist Democrat I immiediately perceived him as a politician who wants a popular vote but knows governing our nation isn’t really about liberal versus conservative. It’s not about right versus left. It’s about common sense and staying true to our forefathers’ vision and values. Read the rest of this entry »
