… but I think he’s confused about the bill. According to a press release on his website, he says the following: “This legislation prohibits guns in classrooms, dorms, and administrative buildings on college campuses. Additionally, this legislation gives bar owners the authority to prohibit guns in their establishments. Following my threat of a veto, we worked closely with law enforcement officials across the state so that changes were made to the original legislation. This ensured …

After a week of shenanigans, frustration, and temper tantrums, the Triangle Tactical Podcast is listed in the iTunes Store again! There’s been a lot of questions about what happened, and why it was removed and I can tell you that it has nothing to do with an anti-gun bias on Apples part, but rather an issue with the rss feed on my end… In the end, we’re listed back in the store, and other than …

It finally arrived! After just over a month of waiting, my G-Code INCOG holster arrived for the Springfield XDs 9mm! I opted for the black/gray version, with 3-hole clips, and a full sweat guard. After rockin’ this thing for a few weeks, here’s my G-Code INCOG Holster Review: When I pulled the box out of the mail, I was surprised how small the box was. No matter, I quickly opened it up and removed the …

I had heard third hand that Gov. McCrory was on WPTF yesterday morning, and he announced that he will sign HB937 into law. I didn’t want to announce this until I had heard it with my own ears, and this morning Brian Freeman, the program director from WPTF was nice enough to send me the audio file from the McCrory interview, and I can confirm that Gov. McCrory did announce that he will sign HB937 …

As you surely know I’ve been experimenting with appendix carry for a few months now, and I’ve been pretty happy with this method of carry, as it seems to excel in most situations. This past weekend I found out that there’s one situation where appendix carry doesn’t excel… I was driving back to NC after visiting family in Northern Michigan, and after several hours on the road I needed to make a pit stop at …

Within the past 10 minutes or so, both the NC House, and the NC Senate have fast tracked, and passed the conference committee’s version of HB937. Just about an hour ago the conference committee’s version of the bill was released, and as far as I can tell, but bill left the committee in almost the exact form that it left the Senate, with only the Pistol Purchase Permit elimination provision being removed from the bill, …

I’ve recently spent some time in a local bookstore browsing a bunch of gun magazines. I’ve got to say that most of the magazines were just a boring read, but I always know it will be a good time when I find the section of the magazine with the self defense tips. The scenario in one particular magazine was that you are cooking dinner, and are attacked by a knife weilding attacker in your home. …

A couple months ago I posted about my first day of carrying appendix, and since then I’ve been carrying this way more and more. I started out with my Glock 19, but since the Springfield XDs 9mm arrived, it has become my primary carry gun, and it rides in the appendix position much better than the Glock 19 ever did (smaller, thinner, all that.) Since starting this experiment just a couple months ago I’ve accumulated …

I recently purchased and watched the first episode of “Vitals of Defense” by Daniel Shaw of the Gunfightercast Podcast, and most recently Paratus Academy. I thought the video was pretty cool, something that would be great for new shooters, especially those purchasing a firearm for defensive purposes. Daniel brings Paul Carlson of the Safety Solutions Academy into the video, and the pair show differing viewpoints on things, which balances the information nicely. As far as …

And then there were none! Some months ago a federal judge ruled that Illinois’ complete ban on concealed carry was unconstitutional, and gave them 180 days to pass the law and setup a concealed carry program in the state. Following this process from start to finish has been interesting. First there was all kinds of drama about may issue or shall issue wording in the law, but finally it passed both houses with shall issue …
