When it comes to guns, gun safety needs to be a primary concern. This isn't because guns are more dangerous than other objects that are common in our lives, but instead, because there are many people who are simply ignorant about guns and how to use them safely. Gun Safety isn't for when we are in a defensive handgun class, or for when we are at the range, or for when our kids are watching. Instead, gun safety is for EVERY TIME you handle guns. In today's show we are going to take a look at the

Concealed carry isn't easy. We all wish it was easier, but it isn't. At times it can be frustrating, and uncomfortable, and inconvenient. So of course we work hard to find solutions to our problems. Sometimes those solutions can really fix the problems and other times, they can just create more problems than we started with. What about off body concealed carry? Is solves the comfort problem with 5 stars! BUT, when it comes to the success of concealed carry as a whole, off body concealed carry

When it comes to GLOCK, I don't buy into the idea of GLOCK Perfection. Instead I think GLOCK Versatility is more like it. GLOCKs are designed to accommodate versatility but even more important is the fact that there are folks out there like Lone Wolf Distributors that take GLOCK Versatility to a whole new level. Today I talk with Zack Carlson of Lone Wolf Distributors about their products, GLOCKs and life in general. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast!

What is Safe Gun Handling

2016/04/22

I am not bashful about safe gun handling. There isn't room to be because the consequences of an error in safe gun handling can be so serious. You need to be thinking about safe gun handling as well and for the same reasons. Most people think about safe gun handling as simply gun safety rules. Gun safety rules are an important part of safe gun handling, but they aren't the whole enchilada. I look at safe gun handling as three big parts: Knowing and understanding gun safety rules.

Gun Safety: Storage vs. Staging With Gun Safety being such an important topic, it only makes sense that we take some time to consider how we deal with our firearms when they are not in our direct control. The steps we take to protect ourselves and others from those unauthorized users that may attempt to access our firearms depends on the specific use of those guns. I divide the two different security protocols into the categories Storage and Staging. What is the difference between Storage and

5 Types of Defensive Training You Need To Hone

Defensive training can be fun, entertaining and helpful. At the same time, it can also be a waste of time and money. Most people never find out either way because they simply don't train. If this is you, it is your loss. You see, you and those that you love will have to bear the burden of the consequences of a violent encounter should you ever face one. If you fail to prepare ahead of time you have missed your chance to avoid or mitigate the consequences. You see, that is the purpose of

2016/04/11

In the world of self-defense and personal protection, it is common to look to the law enforcement and military worlds for guidance in equipment, accessories, tactics and mindset. At times, this can produce some valuable insight. I would argue, however, that at least as often (probably much more often) these areas can lead us astray when it comes to understanding how we can lead a safer life a an armed citizen. I believe that the average armed citizen could find much more relevant information if

Understanding the Legalities of Self-Defense

2016/04/08

When I teach concealed carry classes (and I try to average 1 CCW class each month just to stay in touch with those new to defensive handguns) I am always impressed by the number of people that are ignorant of the legal aspects of self-defense, especially the use of deadly force. I shouldn't be so surprised. The legal system can be complicated and when it comes to self-defense it is even more complicated that one would hope for. Many attorneys don't understand the finer points of the legal system

Should you carry one gun and train with another?

2016/04/06

Concealed carry isn't as easy as everyone would lead you to believe. In fact, I think it can be a difficult challenge for many folks to get the training they need, practice to stay proficient, find a system that makes carry comfortable and convenient while still providing reasonable access to their gun. It can be downright difficult. The physical aspect of shooting can be a challenge for some folks as well. Especially when we expect them to get hits with the actual gun they are going to carry

Range Safety: Your Actions can help to keep yourself and those around you safe. When we practice and train with our defensive firearms we train to live a safer life. As a result we don't want our practice or training to injure us or any one else. This makes range safety a priority.

What Non-Shooters Need to Know about Guns In life I have found that just because I don't want to deal with something doesn't mean I don't have to deal with it. I don't want to do dishes, or laundry, or mow the lawn, but I have to do all those things any way. There are other things I don't want to have to deal with ever and I actively work to avoid them. Things like changing a tire on the side of the road. Not only unpleasant, but also possibly dangerous. None-the-less, I may have to deal with a
