Paying homage to those that have assisted me in my firearms training
April 17, 2017 Concealed Carry Philosophy, Personal Safety Development Brickstreet

Gratitude. It’s not a word I would have link right next to teaching people about firearms. I’ve been a police officer for a lot of years and never looked at it that way, but perhaps I should have. I’ve had many people teach me and train me in various ways and there were a fewRead More

April 14, 2017 Concealed Carry Philosophy Brickstreet

Telling you that you’re going to need a good belt sounds a little personal doesn’t it. Now as much as I’d like to make this a post railing on the need to change the “sagging” pants fad, that’s not what I’m referring to. If you make the serious decision to carry concealed, your also goingRead More

Are you carrying?
March 17, 2017 Concealed Carry Philosophy, Personal Safety Development Brickstreet

If you’re licensed to carry concealed in your state, Carry. Let me say that again. If you’re licensed to carry concealed in your state, Carry!! Perhaps you aren’t interested in carrying a handgun and would prefer a TASER, but please carry. I say this because I’ve fallen into the same sense of denial in theRead More
