Some continuing thoughts on the shifting self-defense landscape…de-escalation doesn’t work if the function of the exercise is escalation.

Well, not quite, but Michael has some important points on the continued circus of masks, masks and more masks.

This week Michael does one of his rare movie reviews, and of course it’s an end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it flick! Also, building the elusive Glock carbine.

This year, 2021, continues to deliver on mass quantities of endless annoyances. This week we do a little ranting about how knife fights have suddenly become West Side Story Redux and a little bit on the utility of crossdraw holsters.

Even as the government attempts to define homemade guns out of existence, Michael’s “Glockish” G34 is moving toward completion!

This week we’re all gun control all the time as the Biden administration begins its attack on the 2nd Amendment.

This week we introduce the ARMSCOR/Rock Island VR82 semiauto shotgun, the 20 gauge little brother of the wildly popular VR80 12 gauge. Plus, some carry and training thoughts.

This week Michael reviews his trip to Tom Given’s Tac-Con, the most important gathering of trainers for the year. He also outlines Ed Monk’s groundbreaking work on active shooters.

This week we talk about the shooting in Boulder at a supermarket Michael knows well. Can we be constantly marinated in hate rhetoric and not pay the price?

This week Michael does an exclusive interview with Rob Pincus of Personal Defense Network and THE BEST DEFENSE on his work with printing handgun receivers and the upcoming Gun Maker’s Match. Also Ruger’s new MAX-9!
