I’ve had many comments come to me that a new woman shooter should “start out” with a revolver. I have nothing against a revolver, however, I vehemently object to a woman purchasing and practicing with something other than their ideal tool of self-defense.
A revolver may be an ideal firearm for a woman, but [...]

From an excellent blog by Scott J. Bach, blogger for www.blog.nj.com on the Right-to-Carry, published July 21, 2009.
In an era where vicious criminal predators prey upon the weak and vulnerable, the U.S. Supreme Court has surprisingly held that police owe no duty to protect individual citizens and cannot be held accountable when they fail to [...]

Senators Reject Gun Proposal: July 22, 2009 from ABCNews.com
The U.S. Senate voted against a proposal to allow certain gun owners to bring concealed weapons across state lines.
The Senate’s 58 to 39 vote fell just short of the 60 votes needed to add the amendment to a defense policy bill.
The gun debate was not an issue that cut [...]

Owning a handgun does not offer women any benefit for self-defense. KNOWLEDGE, on the other hand, of how to use a firearm for self-defense is the ultimate equalizer. And to me it’s the ultimate sign of freedom and liberty.
There are a great many female gun owners in the U.S. at present. Unfortunately the [...]

In yet another ridiculous move by the anti-self-defense camp, a national “ASK” day was established about ten years ago. Its purpose was to remind parents to be proactive about protecting their children from firearm accidents simply by asking their friends and neighbors about the use of guns in their respective homes. Its intent [...]

I often am accused of sanctioning violence by those who would not protect themselves. So those of you who still read my articles—even though you KNOW I’m all about self-defense with a firearm—you may be a bit surprised today to hear what I have to say.
When I first saw the headline on this [...]

First, read the article. Then, let’s “talk.” http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/108501.html
While some may read this article and see it as a “peaceful” resolution, I say it’s a horrible example of someone protecting their home. It is an example of a very incomplete self-defense, and as such it actually proved to be more dangerous that one might [...]

When I tell women in my self-defense class about my 2nd favorite weapon, my Asp, inevitably they wonder what crass thing I’ve just said. Nope. I’m not talking about one of my body parts. But I am talking about a weapon that serves as a great appendage. As such, I strongly advise you [...]

As a Utah Concealed Firearms Permit Instructor, it’s no wonder that I am asked frequently “when is it exactly permissible to defend yourself with a firearm?” Many believe that the circumstances of defending yourself are actually rare. Personally, I don’t believe that 2.5 million crimes being stopped every year with a firearm constitutes [...]

When I ask various people if they feel they are capable of stopping a charging drug-crazed assailant, or prevent a break-in attempt into their home by a lawless gang, or to save the life of a person being mugged, the response I hear all too often from both men and women is, “Oh [...]
