0286 – If You are a Shooter, Check Your Carry-On Bags When You Travel

March 28, 2012 by PaulCarlson 3 Comments

I’ve talked quite a bit in the past about air travel with firearms. It is a practice that I engage in often. If my destination is a gun friendly place I take my pistols. This is true if I am traveling for business or for pleasure. It is never a requirement for me to have a gun. Even when I am teaching, a friend, family member, host or student typically has a spare that they are willing to loan me for the duration of my stay for carry and for use on the range if need be. None the less, I like to carry my own. So, sometimes, I don’t travel with a gun when I fly. When you are a shooter, and you fly whether you take your guns or not you need to pay particularly close attention to your carry on bags.

0273 – Workout CCW

February 16, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Reality check. Unless you are some mega, ninja, stud, you are probably a lot like me. That means that WE are much more likely to die because we are old and fat and have a massive heart attack than we are to die in a gunfight. I’m sorry, I know it isn’t as fun to think about the truth. Just bear with me for the next few moments. Remember you are like me right. Well I need more exercise so I can postpone my death as much as possible. So I go to the gym, I work out at home, or where ever I am that I can squeeze in a few minutes of exercise. You know that I carry every where I go, this means I carry when I work out. Whew, we made it back to the tacticool topic. Today we are going to talk about carrying your self-defense handgun while you are working out

0271 – Support The Second Amendment at Starbucks

February 13, 2012 by PaulCarlson 2 Comments

First of all don’t forget that tomorrow, Tuesday February 14th is Valentine’s Day. Forgetting that fact in some relationships could have dire consequences and remembering appropriately could have profound benefits. Good luck with that. I have to say, that I have been pretty excited about the 14th for quite some time. You see, I like coffee, a lot, and there really isn’t much better in life than having someone else brew you a good cup of coffee. The problem with that is it can be a bit pricey. Well, tomorrow I’m going to ignore the price tag and enjoy a cup of Joe or two from Starbucks. If you enjoy coffee, and guns, you might think about doing the same.

0261 – An Interview with Ray Kohout Designer of the Heizer Defense Double Tap

January 25, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

When I first saw the Double Tap I couldn’t help thinking, “one gets ten.” As I looked at the double tap more and more, it quickly distanced itself from the FP-45 Liberator. There are certainly similarities, size, caliber, and extra rounds stored in the grip, but the workmanship puts the Double Tap in a whole new league. Despite the fact that the Ray Kohout comes from a gun background, the design of the Double Tap would lead you to believe otherwise. Roller bearings and CNC from head to toe are more indicative of the aerospace industry than a firearms design. No fetzer valve, but with Heizer Defense it’s all ball bearings these days.
