HALF!? This is far too great an omission to be accidental. This false report has been used to minimize the importance of carry (including at an “active shooter” class i took, given by an anti-CCW former cop). The utility of concealed carry is much higher...

Here are a few notes from my first experience with Handgun Combat Master Prep (HCMP) in a 9/26-27 private training at Front Sight, having recently qualified to take it. (They require that you first take Advanced Tactical Handgun (ATH), and to take ATH you must...

California recently (9/14/18) joined a few other states that have enacted the Uniform Trust Decanting Act. A lot of states have decanting statutes, several dozen in fact, but they vary greatly and this uniform act is more restrictive than those in some of the more...

Amazing. After decades of advocating gun control “if it saves one life” while ignoring millions of defensive gun uses, the leftist media actually inks a headline braying that one cop — saved by an armed citizen who joined the fray —...

Huge increase in CCW’s issued nationwide, and that’s great! But how often are those with permits actually carrying? One of the advantages of open carry is that you know which neighbors meet their duty of carrying, and you can see if they are doing...

You can tell Brett Kavanaugh’s “virgin defense” is effective — just look how it’s belittled by all the media right now, on the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee showdown planned for tomorrow. The fact is, few in the media can relate...

We all love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T Aretha for her work and wisdom about life, but she “died embarrassed” in at least one respect: no estate plan! There is so much potential to harm family when one fails to plan properly. She clearly had time to plan, and was...

I hope the spread of this doctrine is halted in the US (it’s already popular offshore). The privacy and testamentary control of trusts is a vital bulwark of family power and therefore freedom. Giving courts power to “bless” is a camel’s...

A people trained to arms would be laughing hysterically at this: Feinstein next took issue with a dissent that Judge Kavanaugh had written in a case that upheld a D.C. “assault weapon” ban similar to the expired federal law. Specifically, she chided him for...

For several years I have been doing my best to explain to the public here in California, including my fellow estate planning attorneys, that a California gun trust is not likely to be effective in transfering guns upon death. I only recommend gun trusts for...

I call BS on this study — based on the number of “thumbs down” for the article! It’s no longer taboo to have a tattoo. More companies are shedding their prejudice against employees and job candidates coming in with tattoos, a smart move that’s giving...

This can happen anywhere but it certainly happens more around socialist cesspools. Never set sail without arming yourself. In April, for instance, masked men boarded four Guyanese fishing boats floating 30 miles off the coast of the South American nation. The...

Don’t start carrying openly yet — the decision only strike’s a Hawaiian law, and the decision may be overruled en banc although an en banc appeal by Hawaii seems less profitable now with SCOTUS turning more conservative. More litigation is...
