• The Last Service

    From the parking lot, it didn’t look like much. A sorely neglected mall, all but abandoned. The clientele was an odd mix of retired mall walkers and homeless people seeking respite from Florida’s relentless heat and humidity. Every now and then, someone with spending money would show up but...
  • Five Things That Will Improve Your Firearm Training

    For many folks, range day consists of showing up with their favorite peacemaker, pinning up a target, loading mags with freedom seeds, and banging out rounds in hopes of shooting a target worthy of showing their friends. While I believe that all practice has some level of benefit, if...
  • Glock’s New Generation 6 Pistol Is A Winner

  • Making The Impossible, Possible

    Our church is located inside a mall, and the school attached to our church, along with the precious souls in it, are mine to protect from Monday to Friday each week. The school is located near an entrance to the mall, and just outside that entrance is a bus...
  • An Intense Week Of Training

    At this point in my life the things I did for a living over 40 years ago should be much harder to do. The creases around my eyes and the grey in my beard lend credence to that statement but I believe it’s a man’s heart that determines what...
