Many of my students tell me that, should they ever be robbed, they plan on complying with the robbers’ demands. While I can’t presume to tell anyone the individual best course of action during a dangerous situation, I can provide some general statistics about past events. Statistically, complying with armed robbers’ demands generally results in fewer injuries to the victim than resisting (except...

On May 18, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order prohibiting enforcement of provisions of D.C. law that effectively grant to the police chief the discretion to decide who may lawfully exercise the right to bear arms in public for self-defense.

When it comes to a concealed carry gun, how small is too small?

by Rich Grassi

7:00am Friday, May 29, 2015

Republished from The Outdoor Wire . Recently, I met someone who was interested in the new Glock 43. He said that he was carrying a six-shot Kahr pistol and, due to size comparisons he'd stay with it.
