It is easy to tell if someone is carrying a firearm or not. I have seen imprints of guns fairly often at restaurants and bars. A police officer is going to be looking for some kind of bulge in your clothing somewhere. They are good at this. The penalty in California is 1 year in county jail...

I considered one of these in 45ACP when I ended up buying my CZ 97B instead. The Sig's are all excellent and very accurate guns. This particular model of Sig is probably the very best pistol made on this Earth. I think the 10mm's are overpowered however, and even the high velocity 45ACP's are...

That looks good. I prefer key safes with a padlock drilled through it though. To each his own.

I would not want my life to depend on batteries (I feel sorry for everyone who wears a pacemaker too).

My very last encounter with LEO's was as a student in tactical classes taught by 3 of them -- two police sergeants and a police lieutenant. These 3 were local police academy instructors who had decided they could condense the shooting portion of their police academy programs into various single...

Reba, my dear friend, and fellow former Naval alum, and you as a former Navy Chief, and I as a former Marine officer, there is nothing in anything that Massad said in your citations/links that is relevant to concealed carry. This is a red herring. I love Massad and everything that he teaches...

Here is the list of things I learned at USMC boot camp (at Quantico for officer candidates) which are also good lessons for life: 1 - stand up straight, head up, shoulders square, chest out, stomach in, feet together, hands at your sides, fingers with their natural curl not clenched or extended...

I have heard different answers to the question "how often should you clean your pistol?" What is your own view? Where did you learn it? Why do you think it is more important than the other choices?

I completely agree with you about hip and shoulder holsters. I have found that the 3 oclock IWB carry is the fastest either open carry or concealed. The only time I don't wear mine at 3 oclock is when I go to work or church -- then it's a shoulder holster that I can easily take off and lock...

This looks like a wound from a Mexican carry -- handgun tucked into the back of your belt at 6 oclock. It is the opposite of Redneck carry -- handgun tucked into the front of your belt at 12 oclock. Appendix carry is closer to 1 or 2 oclock. Advantages are (1) fastest draw and (2) best...

Today at the indoor shooting range the guy shooting next to my station was shooting a Smith & Wesson 1911 caliber 22LR. He let me try it and it is extremely accurate. I googled this pistol and could not find it, so it must be fairly new. I used to have a Colt Woodsman which is a 22LR and used...

To be accurate with a pistol, monthly practice is the minimum requirement. Weekly practice would be ideal, but that costs more money than I can allocate to shooting. There are so many things to practice with a pistol that it keeps you busy all year long no matter how often that you go. First...

Good list! Situational awareness is definitely the key. I watch everyone and everything (dogs and cars included) around me and shift my gaze a lot like the point man on a jungle patrol, or like the center on a football team. When I notice someone else noticing me back I shift my gaze away so...

Baseball caps are the most popular hat in America. I am guessing this is because of the popularity of baseball. Even the USN and USAF have gone to baseball caps now as well, to go with their BDU's. I like a boonie hat infinitely better because the brim is all around not just in the front, and...

Tonight (2/2/2017) the Utah Governor will weigh-in with his view of the latest constitutional carry proposed bill before the Legislature. It would allow UN-loaded concealed carry by anybody with or without a CFP issued by the state BCI. Ergo a duly issued CFP would still give you the advantage...

"... the holster close to the body ..." was my favorite part. That's how you keep a gun warm. And happiness is truly a warm gun.

"... that pits small caliber (9mm) versus large (.45 ACP) and extra capacity versus brute stopping power..." This pretty much says it all in the first paragraph. End of debate.

I think you are going to find the 40's slightly too snappy than desirable, but certainly not an inferior choice. Any 9x19, 40, or 45ACP is a good choice. As long as you wear a sweatshirt or sweater of some kind, and/or a jacket over it, you should not have any problem with imprinting. I wear...

If you don't pay close attention while you are driving your car as to where you are going and who is coming at you from in front or from behind or from either side then you can be changed in the blinking of an eye to dead-already.
