My greatest fear is that one day I will die, and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them!

Ladies, It's OK to be Mean... Written by Greg Ellifritz   At last weekend's Rangemaster Tactical Conference, I heard three different presenters mention the same problem frequently seen in their female self defense students.  All three mentioned that their students are

As I prepare to teach another group of campers; ages 6 - 13, basic first aid I began thinking through the skills I teach. Because of size and strength one of the things I stress is to remain calm and call for help - activate EMS (911). More and more households do not have a land line and rely solely on mobile devices. Because of the amount of information stored on these devices and the increasing popularity of e-pay options the devices have security measures in place. These measures range from a password, pattern or pin number all the way to fingerprint or iris scan. Mobile phones have an emergency call feature, but how many of us have shown our young children how to activate this? How many of us have discussed this with our children? Pre-schoolers have been known to call 911 for ill or injured family, saving their lives. This is because they were taught how.

I am planning to spend a little extra time on calling for help and activating emergency services this year. How about you? Remember you do not rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training. Train yourself and train your children. Find a first aid, CPR, and / or bleeding control class near you to participate in!

Now we know where plinking came from.

"San Antonio's Plinky Toepperwein was one of the greatest shooters of all time. Famed female shooter Annie Oakley once told Plinky that she was the greatest shot she had ever seen.⁠
⁠
Her husband, Adolph “Ad” Toepperwein, gave Plinky her first shooting lesson. Within three weeks, she was able to shoot 1-inch pieces of chalk from between his fingers. She broke numerous shooting records throughout her lifetime. She was the first U.S. female to qualify as a national marksman with a military rifle. She also was the first woman to break 100 straight targets while trapshooting." — Traces of Texas

Worry is exhausting. Instead, plan, think, live. Thank you Kathy for your insight.

Reminder.

During uncharted times of life, I hope this finds you all doing well, settled in to ride this out. Staying away from others as much as possible to protect yourselves and others.

Part of personal safety is self care in times of crisis. If you are not keeping yourself in "good shape" mentally and physically, you cannot care for those around you properly.

Do something daily that brings you joy - take care of you!

I am getting this year's garden started as my "therapy." I think I will be getting out the BB rifle and Pellet pistol for some trigger therapy!

Let us know what you are doing for self care!?

Let me know how you feel about opinions like this. I will share my thoughts later

The future is a strange place where we intentionally meet strangers from the internet so that we can - if we're lucky! - get intimate with them. Getting unlucky with internet dating isn't just a coffee shop date with a (wo)man who doesn't quite live up to their profile pic, though. It can also be crossing paths with someone who can hurt you in small ways and large.

So what can you do about it?

After all, by definition, you're probably about to do something at least not completely smart. With a person you don't know, perhaps in a setting you're not familiar with, and quite likely after dark.

That's why when I reentered the dating scene, I went to my favorite SME on playing the field - Caleb Giddings. The video linked below summarizes a few of the things we talked about at the intersection of personal and protection.
