Businesses, schools, homes and churches were completely destroyed Sunday evening, with the death toll currently at 89. Trapped survivors were crying out for help this morning as search and rescue workers begin canvasing the devastated area. Reports say that approximately 30 percent of the city was damaged. [classy segue goes here]… All 25 sirens in [...]
I’d like to focus on another type of training, that is shooting at non traditional targets. There is no doubt that the standard silhouette target has an important place in training sessions. The law in Missouri require that we use a B-27 Target or one that is “equivalent” for concealed carry qualification. For all intents [...]
Enter the Ice Storm of 2007… Losing power for 13 days was what it took for my skeptic wife to become my Awesome Wife & Prepper Companion!! It started as a crummy winter day with predictions of freezing rain. I took my wife to work at her 2nd shift job across town. It was shortly [...]

Recently I read a blog from another instructor stating that he did not and would not train with .22 handguns and vehemently [...]
As I write this the water is dribbling in through my basement foundation. Water covers a good portion of the floor as it slowly flows toward the floor drain. Not a flood but truly an annoyance, one that I have experienced many times in different houses. Floods are one of the few disasters where you [...]
The basic element to any survival plan is water. It is recommended that a person have an intake of 64 oz. (8 x 8 oz. glasses) of water per day. In a survival situation this can easily be cut in half for a short period of time but, to stay in proper condition, this amount [...]
“Handgun” is defined under Federal law to mean, in part, a firearm which has a short stock and is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand…. Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(29). The NFA further defines the term “any other weapon” (AOW) as any weapon or [...]
