A while back I was talking to someone about the podcast, and they asked if we put the episodes on YouTube because they don’t have an iPod to listen to the show on. This is pretty common, so I wanted to take a minute and show everyone with an Android phone how to subscribe. You’ll need to download a podcast app. I use Podkicker, which is available for free in the Google Play store. There are …

Today a bill was filed in NC for an extra special concealed carry permit that would basically allow permit holders to ignore all anti-ccw signage in the state… and… it would require them to carry a CCW badge issued by their sheriff. CCW badges are dumb, even if the bill would require them. Its SB708 and its called the Homeland Security Patriot Act. I almost feel like Senator Tarte is just trolling us with this.

When I got home from work this afternoon I had a letter waiting for me in the mailbox from the Wake County Sheriffs Department. It was a small piece of card stock folded in half and sealed with tape. When I opened it, this was written on the inside: You’re probably saying “Okay Luke, they sent you a letter, but they are legally required to notify you that your permit is about to expire, so …

Y’all asked for it, and here it is. Once again, I need to inform everyone of the numbers I’m using to makes the comparison images. I’m using the picture of the Glock 43 that is going around the internet today sized by the numbers listed in the picture of the Recoil magazine page in this post (6.26″ Overall Length). I traced the picture below into a vector image, and then laid it over other vector …

I filmed this video last night explaining all of the Glock clues and my “photo forensics” work that I did on the clues. Since posting the video, another picture has started making its way around social media, and it looks pretty convincing: I don’t read a lot (I don’t read any) gun rags, so the graphics on the page don’t look familiar to me, but after giving it a glance, it looks legit to me. …

Just minutes ago, Glock dropped this picture on their Facebook page: Oh boy, I think the cats out of the bag now. The only questions us, how big/small will it actually be? Will it be the 9mm we’ve all be waiting for? Whatchu think?  

If you’ve been anywhere on social media during this afternoon/evening, you’ve probably seen this picture: It’s pretty convincing, although it looks suspiciously similar to a Glock 42. Conveniently I still had all of the images from yesterdays post about the Glock slide opened up on my computer, so I decided to see what I could find by comparing the above picture with some of the images I used yesterday in the other post. First, the …

Here we go again! Today Glock dropped this picture on their Facebook page: As soon as I saw it, I ran to the computer to begin chopping it to pieces with image editing software. Here’s the new slide cropped out of the picture from above, and the same picture of it after I did some Photoshop magic to it to change the colors: My first thought was to line it up with a slide from a …

Andrew Branca announced yesterday that he’ll be having a Law of Self Defense seminar in Raleigh on May 3, 2015. Andrew joined us on the podcast way back in episode 86 where we talked a little about a lot of things around self defense. The class he’s teaching in Raleigh will be specific to NC laws, so if you’re someone that carries a gun in North Carolina, it’s worth it. Use the code triangle and …

Today’s reading comes from Page 75 of George Leonard’s Mastery: There’s another secret: The people we know as masters don’t devote themselves to their particular skill just to get better at it. The truth is, they love to practice–and because of this they do get better. And then, to complete the circle, the better they get the more they enjoy performing the basic moves over and over again.
