UPDATE: See link below this article for updated analysis. *** When Governor Newsom approved AB 1292 on July 12, he made estate planning easier for California gun owners. Why would Sacramento Democrats make death easier for us? I can only speculate, but I’m guessing...Orange County Boy, 11, Strikes Burglar with Machete
Not technically a defensive gun use, but kid commando gets even more bonus points for using close contact weapon: “You hit them in the back of the head with a machete?” the 911 operator asked after Braydon told the story. “Did you see if he was bleeding at...Officer Shot, Armed Citizen Comes To Her Rescue

On the importance of dialing 1911 prior to 911: In modern times, we know that people shot with handguns have an 85% chance of survival, provided they get medical treatment. The chances are far lower with shotgun or rifle, but even then modern medicine can...BART Rider Brandishes Chainsaws On Train
Someone pulls out and activates a chainsaw on BART while verbalizing a threat of massacre, and you respond by posting a video on Twitter? and BART finds out about it because of your hashtag #BART, apparently because no one else called 911 either? #SMH! “I...FBI report left out HALF of 2014-17 cases where armed citizen stopped active shooter
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...Notes from Handgun Combat Master Prep
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...Chicago rag: “One brave rescue of a Cicero cop doesn’t justify concealed guns”
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 —...California Gun Trust? Buyer Beware!
[UPDATE: For the last three years (since August 2016) I have not generally recommended the lifetime funding of gun trusts in California.

Hopefully there was some justification for shooting in the head (other than “I didn’t train enough”): Investigators said it all started when the man’s wife pulled into their driveway Tuesday night. Then the two armed suspects jumped out and tried to...Couple of .45 Gurus Explain Virtue of 9mm
They bring up some very good points in favor of 9mm, but with our CA roster I was limited to .45 if I wanted a quality all-steel Wilson Combat CQB Compact. Suppressor bans are not the only form of gun control causing injury over time. (Have to say, though, that...Judge Kethledge Lives the Second Amendment

Girl could barely hold on to tree, she was up so long (half hour before 911 called). Why didn’t the mother have her own AR, or a pistol?

When it comes to taxes and gun control, it’s hard to keep up with Sacramento and DC. One way is to have your estate planning attorney on speed dial. A smarter way is to have that attorney draft with flexibility in mind, so you can have peace of mind. We’ll focus...FPC 20180522: Family Power & The Catholic Second Amendment
The second item in our Bill of Rights is actually a very Catholic Second Amendment. This may surprise, since although the Catholic Church has a reputation for defending a number of aspects of Family Power, our bishops are not exactly known as big gun rights...FPC 20180206: Family Protection
The term “family protection” is used in many different contexts. For example, in insurance planning it often refers to the concept of “income replacement” for a family bereft of its primary breadwinner. What should “family...2017 #ManoftheYear: Former NRA Trainer Who Ended Texas Church Attack

From NRA-ILA: With 42 states and the District of Columbia now recognizing the Right-to-Carry, California’s retrograde may-issue Carry Concealed Weapon licensing regime is atypical.

I would hope most people by now know that the Texas church massacre was stopped by a good guy with a gun, Stephen Willeford, and that the gun he used to stop the attack was the oft-maligned AR-15. Some on the Left are so crazy they actually say Willeford should...
