Don’t want to carry a bulky handgun for self-defense? Try a pocket gun.

Defense is more than carrying and training with a gun. It is being prepared to fight and survive, which includes having a basic understanding of first aid.

One of the best ways to protect your home and family is by thinking like a criminal. Criminals don’t think like honest people; if they did, they wouldn’t be criminals. In most cases, they are looking for what they think is an easy way of life—living off the efforts of others—and they are usually quite lazy. They are looking for an easy way to make a quick buck, rather than working for it. The harder you make it for them, the more likely they will move on to the next victim.

One of the best ways to keep an eye on what is happening around you is with peripheral vision. A lot can be seen from the corner of the eye, especially movement, and it is great way to watch someone without raising suspicion.

The availability of affordable lasers, lights and optics make the AR-15 a viable firearm for many uses. It is easy to customize this reliable operating system for both indoor and outdoor uses, such as when a fight extends to outside the home. Today’s optics are especially useful with the onset of riflescopes designed for the .223 Rem./5.56 round.

Being able to center punch the 10 ring on a target is good, but being able to do it under pressure is what you need to be able to do in a self-defense situation.

I often trash movies for poor handling of firearms, but there is a saying that I've heard in movies that is correct when it comes to drawing a handgun: Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

While you may be alone when a deadly attack occurs, attacks can easily happen when you’re with other people, such as with your family.

Two punks learned the hard way that Florida has some pretty good conceal carry and self-defense laws when they tried to rob an Internet café and a 71-year-old customer sent them packing with a few shots from his legally carried handgun, which you can see in this video.

Last week, a friend of mine shared a tip on Facebook that makes a lot of sense for parents: Take a photo of your child with your phone whenever you go to an event.

With the recent storms knocking out power and causing general disruption of services throughout the Northeast, it made me think about how few people are prepared for disasters of any kind. In northern Virginia, many were out of power for up to a week, losing refrigerated food and having to deal with record temperatures without the benefit of air conditioning. Some areas even had water problems and in at least one county, 911 went down.

Zombies, and the gear to take them out, have become the rage throughout the firearms and shooting accessories industries. While companies like Hornady and LaserLyte have caught some slack for creating products that some people claim as useless or a joke, the companies are only following the market, and producing what sells. If ZombieMax ammo and the multitude of neon green products weren’t selling, they wouldn’t still be out and available.

I’ve been trying to figure out what gun I want to carry as a backup. I first considered getting another Ruger LCP, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted a wheelgun in .38 Spl.

Do you remember Starfire hollow points? Starfires were popular for the rib-and-flute design, ensuring penetration and expansion, before disappearing from the market. To be honest, I haven’t thought about them in years, but representatives from PMC Ammunition visited the office to exhibit its products, and, to my surprise, the catalog showed the self-defense round originally designed by Tom Burczynski.
