A listener recently emailed me some excellent thoughts about how the gun culture talks about the accuracy of guns. I’ll share that email and my thoughts. I also discuss an “incident” that recently happened to me. Was it a close call?

I spent some time shooting the H&K VP9, so I reviewed it. Then I got to thinking about another discussion I had with some fellow podcasters about open carry, CCW and constitutional carry, so I expanded on that too.

Some people have a concealed carry rotation and some use different guns for different purposes. In this episode I discuss the difference. I think a specific purpose for each gun can be a good thing, but a rotation just for fun, might not be.

Are you outgunned? Do you know your adversary? Many of us, including me take the bad guy for granted. We tend to think they are uneducated knuckleheads who can’t shoot. Think again.

Single stack, slim 9mm pistols that are pocketable seem to be the most popular self defense pistols on the market today. I own 2 very nice guns, the Kahr PM9 and the Shield 9mm. Both are superb. But Jon Payne and I have a difference of opinion as to which is best. So we analyze both of these little guns and also talk about open carry.
