From the Special Forces playbook right to your shooting diary. Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical gets a lot of questions, which is only natural: As a retired US Army 1st SFOD- Delta combat veteran, combat marksmanship instructor, and industry consultant, Vickers offers the kind of battle-tested intel that can be tough for those among us…
Open Carry (OC) is like concealed carry (CCW)’s redneck cousin. Much of the talk surrounding the “and Bear Arms” part of the Second Amendment centers around concealed carry, but there’s another option that some people exercise—open carry. But why do people carry their self-defense handguns openly? That’s the question at the heart of one of…
