Originally posted February 26, 2014. I recently trained with Sig Sauer Senior Instructor Steve Gilcreast over a two day concealed carry course at Sig Sauer Academy. Steve spent last week teaching a masters level class to agents in Quantico, VA. He’s the best at what he does. One of the many takeaways from the class […]
Beretta 1301 Tactical

Unarmed Is Uninformed
Debbie and I are holders of Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm Licenses. As part of our license program, we took the excellent NRA handgun safety course, which included much hands-on instruction. Every American should take the NRA safety course and apply for a license if it is applicable in your state. If you have not […]
M855 Ammo Ban
You don’t want to run out of ammo. But that’s what could happen to M855 ammo if the BATF’s announced plan to reclassify 223/5.56 (M855) takes hold. There’s nothing like a government planned ban to clear the shelves. You may recall how hard it was to buy .22LR caliber ammo just a few years ago. […]

When S hits the Fan
I keep in my car something similar to Land Shark’s Tactical Survival Shelter. You may want to do the same. Eric Davis from Loadoutroom.com had this to say about the Land Shark. If you get outside and get your adventure on then you already know the importance of emergency shelters, blankets and signaling. Should the […]
M4 Ready for Battle?
A recent article in the Washington Times and another in Soldier of Fortune Magazine call into question the quality of the military’s M4 carbine. The issues with the carbine have apparently been understood by the military for some time, but the articles claim not much has been done about it. From the Washington Times: Documents […]
Dick Young’s Navy SEAL Survival Kit
Debbie and I put in over 5,000 miles on the road each year, either in our truck or on our Harley’s. In some years, we exceed 10,000 miles. That’s a lot of potential exposure to the unexpected and the unknown. As I write to you, we are on the road for what will be a […]
Your Personal Financial Security Part II
Every Christmas we give our kids their age in cash—a tradition that began with Becky’s parents—making it fun to get older. Hard cold cash is often forgotten when credit cards, gift cards or your iphone complete transactions. But what happens when the lights go out? You still have basic needs, like caffeine. That’s why carrying […]
