New Show Coming - Never Fry Bacon Naked: And other life lessons!
Black Man With A Gun
This week I want to honor a friend and announce a move. Congratulations to Rick Ector on his recent appointment to the NRA Board of Directors. I personally know how much this means to him and know he will do the best he can as a representative of firearms trainers, counselors, and gun rights activist. The guy has been focused and determined to save the lives of people in his home state of Michigan, especially the cities and women. He has single handedly created a space for women of color to get exposed and familiar with firearms in an untraditional environment. As a gun...

Conversation with a Comedian As I contemplated my life this week, I ran into a comedian named Clay Miles. Although our conversation had nothing to do with guns and the Second Amendment it was good.

I identify as an American - Episode 703
Black Man With A Gun
Sharing some commentary and seeking your thoughts on what I said. Sharing what it takes to get started as a gun owner in Maryland and giving kudos to the Virginia Citizens Defense League, VCDL.org for leading as a gun rights organization. The state of Maryland isn’t quite up to the level of New York or California when it comes to gun control, but it ain’t for lack of trying. Maryland has tons of gun control laws on the books, and none of them have made Baltimore any safer, but that won’t stop them from doing more. Thanks for sharing, Shalom Baby, Rev. Kenn Blanchard ...

Shooting is Mental - 702
Black Man With A Gun
Gun ownership requires responsibility. There is more mental energy required than just owning a gun and shooting it recreationally. (that is what I mean by Shooting is Mental) Training will save you money and save your life. Seek some before you buy and you’ll thank me. Firearm ownership is not for everyone but it should be for anyone who has not given up his or her right to do so. Buying a firearm should be an educated decision not an emotional one. Shooting is mental because you have to navigate fact from fiction, and hype from reality. You have to make some judgement calls. You...

Training will save you money and save your life. Seek some before you buy and you’ll thank me. Firearm ownership is not for everyone but it should be for anyone who has not given up his or her right to do so. Buying a firearm should be an educated decision not an emotional one.
Shooting is mental because you have to navigate fact from fiction, and hype from reality. You have to make some judgement calls. You have to train your brain not to do what you have seen on TV or on social media. You have to make decisions that are literally life or death. Am I prepared to defend myself? Am I ready to go through with what is coming after I stop a bad guy? Can I handle the political foolishness? Have I been on the right side of this thing? Who do I believe now? Where do I get training from? Who is legit and not a mall ninja?
Shooting is mental.
These days everybody is an expert. Who do you trust to teach your family? Are you going to become a competitor? Going to start a club? Going to join one?
Then there is the racism, sexism, separatism that is HUGE in this community. Us vs them. If you aren’t careful you’ll get sucked up in the foolishness. Yeah I said it. Foolishness, it’s one of the reasons after 30 years of gun rights activism you don’t see me at conventions and events.
Below are a list you will probably see each time you go to a public range, learn them. A more in depth reason for them will follow.
1. Treat all guns as if they were loaded.
2. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it.
5. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.
6. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.
7. Don't alter or modify your gun, and have guns serviced regularly.
8. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
9. Use correct ammunition.
10. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm before you use it.
Thank you for your prayers and financial support.
