The weather outside is frightful...

With the weather changing, we need to be thinking about changing our tactics when carrying concealed.  The more clothes we have on, the more difficult it is to get to our guns quickly.  So, we have to look to pocket carry for extreme cold weather.  For example, while I carry my Glock appendix IWB, when it gets cold outside I can stick my S&W 642 in my coat pocket.  That way, I can have my hand on my gun when the fight starts, and it'll give me time to get to my primary. 

Before you do it on the street, make sure you get to the range and try it out.  Don't make assumptions about your ability.  Get out and work the technique before you have to do it for real. 

The holidays are here...

We're entering one of the most dangerous times of the year.  Crime always goes up around the holidays.  Plus, in case you haven't noticed, the world situation is getting more precarious by the day.  We need to be on our toes, and be ready. 

Keep your guns ready.  Get to the range, and get to training.  You can't change the world, but you can take care of your little piece of it.  Stay alert, but not paranoid.
