Taking our sons, nephews and male friends to the range to learn about shooting just seems like the right thing to do. But often, we leave the girls at home on those days that we pile guns and gear into the truck for a day of plinking.

Have you ever thought how would you draw and fire from the ground? If not, you should. The first time you fire a gun while lying on your back should not be in a self-defense situation. Think about it. When you’re standing with your arms stretched out holding your handgun, you don’t have to worry about hitting any other part of your body. When you’re on the ground, who knows what might get in the way. And what if you’re lying on your gun and can’t reach it from that position?

So often, training involves standing before a target and putting rounds into center mass of that target. But, do you really think that a true self-defense situation will be like “High Noon,” and you’re going to be Gary Cooper facing down the bad guy in the middle of Main Street?

I have discovered the greatest distraction to awareness and, for me at least, it’s not a cell phone. It’s my little girl.

One of the easiest ways to be attacked when out and about is from behind. There are countless stories about blitz attacks coming from behind where the victim never sees the attacker’s face and is unable to identify the perpetrator.

I’ve long been a student of holsters, especially as technology has advanced in holster manufacture. I study them, looking for both flaws and improvements over previous models. Plus, I’m always in search of the perfect holster. It’s not out there yet, and it probably never will be, but I will continue the search.

As someone who prefers to carry a concealed handgun everywhere I go, I spend a lot of time researching the laws of the various states in which I travel. There are websites that have compiled the laws that regulate concealed carry by state, which are a fairly good place to start. However, I’m always unsure of how up-to-date these websites really are, especially as I have often found mistakes listed.

If you ever get in a self-defense situation, you might have to reload to continue the fight. There are two types of reloads—the speed load and the tactical reload.

According to statistics, most self-defense situations follow the “Rules of Threes,” meaning the fight will happen at 3 yards with three shots fired and last about three seconds. But, a gunfight is not a statistic, which is why most experts recommend training for a drawn out fight.

My recent discussions on Unarmed Defense and Pepper Spray got me to thinking about other useful items that can be carried for self-defense in lieu of, or in conjunction with, a handgun. One that seems particularly useful is a retractable baton.
