I was visiting my old man this past weekend. He’s responsible for my affinity for firearms. He was military, Marines and Army, and then went on to do a stint in law enforcement. From an early age, I was introduced to firearms, and taught a healthy respect for them. However, despite this, I never noticed him having carried a concealed carry badge in all those years.
Many people wonder about non-lethal alternative methods of self defense. Some people morally object to taking a life, no matter the situation. Others feel uncomfortable carrying around a lethal weapon everywhere they go. There is an abundance of non lethal methods of self defense available on the market, for these individuals.
It’s rare, if ever, that you’ll be required to use your concealed weapon to protect your life, or the life of loved ones. However, in the event that you do, what are the odds that your weapon will jam or misfire? Probably astronomical. Nevertheless, a second firearm would increase your chances of survival, wouldn’t it?
While at the gas station a few weeks ago, I noticed a woman was carrying concealed (not very well) and I inquired about what her weapon of choice was. Turns out she was an off duty officer, and after a few tense moments and idle comments, we parted ways. However, the situation got me thinking about what I would do in a similar situation.

I am a concealed permit holder (for over a decade), a lifetime NRA member, certified firearms instructor, and a firearm enthusiast. Many of my friends and family are former or active duty military, and I have consulted with them on many of the topics I cover in this blog over the years.
