Tip of the day:

In 1833, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story wrote "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States". This is a famous description of the right of citizens right to keep and bear arms. In it he describes the Second amendment as "palladium of the liberties of a republic". He argued that a well-armed citizenry serves as a "strong moral check" against the potential for "usurpation and arbitrary power" by rulers.

I am a Sig fan! My EDC is a Sig 365.

That said, I have first hand experience with Sig P320 failures. On two separate occasions with 2 different guns. I held the P320 and reproduced a firing of the gun out of battery. The stories of issues with this model are countless. Be safe and always carry a gun.

Tip of the day:

Rarely does a shooting occur where it is static and doesn't require moving while engaging targets. The basic elements of moving and shooting require maintaining a stable upper body, a proper shooting stance, and consistent sight picture while moving smoothly. Key techniques include walking with knees bent to absorb shock, engaging targets during natural pauses in motion, and keeping both eyes open for better awareness. Train and always carry a gun.

Tip of the day:

Under extreme stress, the body and mind revert to what has been programmed through repetition — not what you’ve only thought about or practiced a few times. Train and always carry a gun.

Tip of the day:

When you're miles from the nearest patrol car, response time isn't just a statistic—it’s a gap you have to fill yourself. Self-reliance becomes the baseline for home security and personal safety. Train and always carry a gun.

Tip of the day:

If the government wants your guns, that's a clue that you may want to hold onto them. The founding fathers knew of the importance of stopping an out of control government. That's why it's the second amendment to the Bill of Rights. They knew it's importance, so they put it at the top.

The order in the Bill of Rights wasn't random. The first two amendments protect core mechanisms for resisting government abuse: speech/press/religion (1A) and arms (2A). They understood that without the practical ability to resist, the other rights become fragile.

Train and always carry a gun.
