OK, we believe in carrying guns because it’s our American right and also because it will keep us and our families safer. Now, think of this, you’re attacked on the street when it’s dark or low light. Or your home is invaded and it’s dark inside your home. Have you used your gun in darkness? The Dark of The Night is much different. Listen to this episode to learn how and what you can do about it. Ben Branam from the Modern Self Protection podcast is my guest.

I was recently asked a question about what are the most probable civilian self defense scenarios. Well, I’ve never been in a shooting (thankfully) but I did some research and came up with my own ideas. Also, I was asked a question about using reloads for concealed carry and I’m against it and explain why.

Hoplophobia is the irrational, morbid fear of guns (coined by Col. Jeff Cooper, from the Greek “hoplites,” weapon). Hoplophobes are common and should never be involved in setting gun policies. Point out hoplophobic behavior when noticed, it is dangerous, sufferers deserve pity, and should seek treatment. When confronted, hoplophobes typically go into denial, a common characteristic of the affliction. Often helped by training, or by coaching at a range, a process known to psychiatry as “desensitization,” often useful in treating many phobias.

So this episode also includes some of my thoughts on Hoplophobes.
