I was recently asked a question about what are the most probable civilian self defense scenarios. Well, I’ve never been in a shooting (thankfully) but I did some research and came up with my own ideas. Also, I was asked a question about using reloads for concealed carry and I’m against it and explain why.

Power and Responsibility of carrying a gun. Recently on the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast, I heard an interview with Massad Ayoob and it finished with a discussion on power and responsibility of carrying a gun. So I thought I would do my own version of these 2 subjects.

A very large number of citizens who defend their life with a gun, do so in low light or night time conditions. Yet, due to range availability, most people practice and train in daylight. It’s a completely different world, shooting at night and incorporating a flashlight or weapon mounted light while shooting. It’s also tough to identify your target. This episode is about using lights, night sights, red dot optics and more, in low light and night time shooting.

Recently Dick Metcalf, long time gun writer for Guns and Ammo Magazine was fired for his most recent column. I also received an iTunes comment that said I am hurting the 2nd amendment cause. So I decided to weigh in on both of these events. I also changed my mind on an issue that you will hear about in this episode. Several listeners also called in some very good voice mails.
