If you’re not sure whether an inside-the-waistband (IWB) or outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster is best for you, why not get both?

Dress To Conceal
I’ve always wanted to do some type of outrageous experiment to prove how unobservant the general public really is.

Gun Review: Sig Sauer P225 A1
There’s no getting around the law of cause and effect in the handgun world: A tiny compact handgun is great for carrying, but shooting one well is like trying to throw a perfect spiral with a peewee football.

[…]

The Great Maryland Gun Law Secession
This article originally appeared at Ammoland. By Tom McHale USA –-(Ammoland.com)- Are you allowed to secede from the state in which you grew up?

Victoria’s Other Secret
Bright lights, attractive models strutting their stuff, some serious swagger combined with a “don’t mess with me” attitude, and adrenaline-inducing music that rumbled the runway. Does that sound like a gun show? Well, actually it was. Last week I returned from the second annual United States Concealed Carry Association Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. Yes, there […]
