I got a new Concealed Carry belt this week, and it reminded me to pass on some information about such things to people who may not have thought about belts to go along with their Concealed Carry pistol rig. One of the biggest CCW tells, is having to pull up…
Last year I wrote a piece on hearing protection (Ear Pro) and as a long-time shooter of very noisy firearms and as an instructor, I value hearing protection just next to eye protection any time I am around guns. I still have pretty good hearing (despite what my Adventure Wife…
