If Engarde Body Armor Can Protect Plastic Saddam, It Can Protect You

October 31, 2013 By Tom McHale Leave a Comment

Is he a plastic Saddam Hussein or a 1970s Porn Star? We don't know, but either way he's protected with Engarde Body Armor.

Today’s work project is shooting plastic Saddam full of holes. Well, I think he’s supposed to be Saddam, but he kinda looks like a 1970s era porn star. Either way, it’s a service to humanity. But it’s not as unfair as it sounds. You see, he’ll be wearing Engarde Body Armor. So he has a […]

About My Gun Culture

Hello, my name is Tom McHale. I'm the creator and primary author of the Practical Guides series of how-to books.

I also write lots of articles for various shooting related magazines and websites. You'll find my work at Shooting Illustrated, Concealed Carry Magazine, Tactical Retailer Magazine, Beretta USA, Guns Magazine, OutdoorHub, GunsAmerica, American Handgunner Magazine, Bearing Arms, AmmoLand, The National Shooting Sports Foundation, Grand View Outdoors, and Shooting Sports Retailer Magazine.

I help explain complicated things in a fun and easy-to-understand way. I believe that things don't have to be so complicated, although I suppose excessive techno-jargon keeps lots of well-intentioned lawyers in business.

If you want to learn about the world of guns, shooting and the American way, check out some of my books. Have a laugh or two.
