Good morning, all. My blogging has been a bit light (nonexistent) for the past couple weeks. My day job involves tax software, and the last big deadline of the year is Monday, the 17th.

Ironically, the whole point of a gun is to not be safe. Or, more precisely, to only be safe until you need it to not be. If you’re trying to defend your life, a gun that’s been rendered safe is not going to help you. The funny part is, the more difficult it is to … Read more

In May, I wrote an article extolling the virtues of regular practice. Between a busy time at my day job, COVID, the secondary infection that followed it, and some side job stuff I had to do in order to pay some bills, I hadn’t pulled a trigger in at least two months. I finally made … Read more
