In short, the answer is yes. I have received some e-mails over the past year from persons mistakenly believing that the defense should be in “like kind” of the attack—meaning that a fist should be fought back with a fist and a knife should be fought back with a knife. I don’t know [...]

I have to admit it. I love the Jason Bourne movies. There’s one scene in one of Bourne movies in which Jason Bourne rolls up a magazine and uses it to beat the crud out of someone. There’s another in which he uses a simple pen to cause pain and agony. Implausible you [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last night I was asked a question by one of my readers on my Emergency Preparedness blog, Preparedness Pro. Although this question was asked by a citizen of England, in which possession of a firearm and essentially any weapon of any kind is forbidden, I still believe his question has merit for our [...]

I often hear instructors refer to the use of strategy and tactics, usually interchanging the words back and forth as if they are synonymous. However, when discussing the use of self-defense strategically vs. tactically, it’s important that we understand a significant difference between the two and properly employ the strength of both.
The use [...]

Perhaps you’ve watched that good old Western movie in which the hero announces that the way he survived a shootout was having a back-up gun for his back-up gun. When it comes to self-defense, we should all have back-up self-defense plans.
Obviously I’m a strong advocate of women using a firearm for self—defense, but a firearm [...]

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 [...]

I recently finished reading two GREAT books, back to back, that are fictional scenarios about an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) attack on the U.S. Both books are very well written, extremely realistic, and I had a hard time putting them down. The first one (still my all time favorite) was “Alas, Babylon” by [...]

Remember when I said that the element of surprise is actually your strongest advantage over an attacker or crime? This is especially true if such an instance occurs in your home. As such in order to create the maximum self-defense home security, there are several modifications that I would encourage you to make [...]
