By Vince at June 12, 2020 | 12:18 pm | 0 Comment

Florida is a “shall issue” state. I’ve taken the definition from the Concealed Coalition website under their Gun Laws section verbatim, as I feel it is one […]

As it turns out thru one of my CCW students who also went to UM, I ended up the Faculty/Staff advisor for the University of Miami’s S2A Club. This is a Second Amendment club at U run BY Students. For those not in the know, UM is not a particularly conservative place, but such can […]

A few years ago my buddy mentioned that he wanted a short barreled rifle (SBR) and my first thought was, “why?” He went on to say that you had a rifle that would be more concealable than a full length rifle or even a carbine. You would also have the advantage of it being in […]

Actually holding onto a handgun seems to be a severe issue for many beginners. Even many who have been shooting for years can have issues with it. In this video, I help out a young lady with her grip. The pistol is a Glock 23 initially. I later changed out to a full size […]

Today I’m going to do something different. I’m going to write about another gun trainer. Maybe I should just call him a trainer as he does more than gun work. His name is Gabe Suarez. I have never, personally met Mr. Suarez, I talked to him once on the phone years ago. I’ve not taken […]

While this video may look dated, the information and techniques are sound and valid today. Yes, some have even been improved upon, but the basics are still here. Police officers have changed quite a bit since then both in technique and in dress. Long gone are the full flap holsters and regular, non-breakaway dress ties! […]

A Place to Shoot
By Vince at November 20, 2011 | 3:58 pm | 1 Comments
In some lucky states there are shooting ranges all over the place, or at the very least, a place where one can go to get some sort of target practice in. Be it an indoor range or an outdoor range. It could be a patch of land out in the boondocks somewhere that has been […]

All Gun Shows are NOT created equal
By Vince at October 24, 2011 | 6:17 pm | 0 Comment
It’s no news that I’ve been in the gun shows for a long time. Over 25 YEARS to be frank. Some shows are great! Others…not so much…and still others just plain suck! Sometimes too many promoters get involved in the mix and then we have too many shows within driving distance of each other. That […]
