Carrying a gun is a duty, and obligation and should be taken very seriously…and why?…I carry a gun whenever it is legal.

I’ve heard of people saying…that when they enter the home or place of business of someone they don’t know, they will inform them they are armed, and ask them if they would prefer that they not carry a gun while there.  Not me, I don’t subscribe to this theory.  I don’t look for trouble, but trouble may find me and I’m not taking any chances.

Highlights of this show:

  • Where the 2nd amendment came from
  • What happened after Florida pssed their “shall issue” concealed carry law
  • Armed Citizens of the 21st Century
  • What doomsdayer’s predicted after concealed carry laws were passed
  • What it really means to carry a gun
  • The English Bill of Rights

All handguns suck relative to long guns’ stopping power.  In this show I discuss issues like why rifles and shotguns will stop attackers far more effectively.  Even though this is the HandgunWorld Podcast, I do talk about long guns from time to time.  Also discussed, what types of ammunition to use and are long guns less maneuverable in your home?    OK, now the big question, shotgun or rifle?

You’ll have to listen to get the answer.  Also…Happy Thanksgiving!

Carrying guns in cold weather presents a completely different challenge than does carrying in warm weather.  As winter approaches, we need to consider our clothing, being able to draw from underneath our winter clothes and what if you’re wearing gloves?  Also, I discuss what types of ammunition to carry in the winter and also what type of clothing to wear.

Enjoy and stay safe!

Based on Mike Briggs’ article in Handgunsmag.com.  We’ve all heard practicing with your gun is just as important as the gun itself and the ammo you use.  In this show, I discuss 10 reasons why I feel that IDPA is excellent practice.    While it’s not a replacement for good fighting and combat training, there are many benefits from regularly shooting at your local IDPA club.  It’s not very expensive either.

Thanks for listening,

Episode 13 – Death by Gun Control…The 5 Stages of Violent Crime

This episode is inspired by yesterday’s terrorist attack.  Yes…that’s right, terrorist attack.  What happened at Ft. Hood Texas yesterday committed by Major Malik Hasan was an act of terrorism.  The media may not report it that way, but that’s what it was.  Terrorists are not always people from far away countries coming over here and hijacking planes or setting off bombs.  Terrorists are also here at home.  I’m not trying to be alarming, just being realistic.

In this episode I discuss the 5 Stages of how violent crime happens and how you can help safeguard yourself against it.  Also, what to do when you are being attacked and how to recognize verbal and non verbal signs of a criminal and what they are about to do.

This show is also about what happens in “gun free zones!”

Thanks for listening and stay safe,

A show about why how and when you many need a rifle or shotgun for self defense.

I also cover several questions to ask yourself if you’re considering purchasing a rifle or shotgun or if you’re re-evaluating what you own already.  I also touch on some issues below:

  • How much accuracy is acceptable?
  • What caliber?
  • Detachable magazine or not?
  • What type of ammo?
  • Should it be light enough to carry?
  • How to transport your rifle or shotgun
