What's up Rick! I looked at your site. It has a lot of information! Which is good and that's the point of a website. It could however be more attractive. But for now I think its fine. What I'd like to do is talk to you about employing a Google Keyword Campaign. Hit me back so I can go into more detail with you about it.

Why You Should Never Make Statements To The Police Without An Attorney

Michigan students, enrolled in a bona fide Personal Protection Class (CCW/CPL), are usually surprised to learn that they are being taught to not make any statements to police officers - without consulting with an attorney - in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting.

From the students perspective, they are innocent actors in an unscripted scene of violence in a horror film. Accordingly, they believe that in their role of law-abiding citizen, they should be fully cooperative with the law enforc… Continue

Seven Questions Michigan County Gun Boards Like To Ask CPL Applicants

For many state of Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) applicants, the submission of the application package (i.e. official application, proof of gun safety training, fingerprint scans, and etc.) will be the last contact applicants will have with their respective County Gun Board until they are notified of an approval or a rejection.

However, residents in a handful of Michigan counties will have the additional hurdle of making an appearance before the County Gun Board to answer a few questio… Continue

What Every Firearm Owner Should Know

Over the least few days, I have read several stories in the local Detroit-area media about firearm accidents which, in my humble opinion, were caused by a lack of knowledge of simple safe gun handling and usage rules. Earlier today, I "tweeted" a lot of info about gun safety via Twitter.

For austerity, I am assembling that info here for you to read and apply, where necessary, to make you a safer user of firearms.

If you don't know the 3 Fundamentals of Gun Safety - by the number - don't handle… Continue

What Every Firearms Owner Should Know About Self-Defense Encounters

In light of all the chatter online about the man who allegedly chased and killed a man a few days ago in Detroit, I dusted off and climbed atop my soapbox on Twitter. Below are some "tweets" I published today in the areas of self-defense, CCW Classes, and statements to law enforcement officers:

I've been getting a lot of calls from folks with CCWs who don't know the law. Lot of shady instructors aren't sleeping well.

A firearms instructor can be held liable for his student's action if the trai… Continue

Tigh Croff: Tragic Hero or Urban Vigilante?

In literature, a "tragic hero" is the principal character in a tragedy whose downfall is caused by the commission of a huge mistake. Unless you have been living in a cave over the past couple of weeks, you are aware of the fact that Mr. Tigh Croff, a 31 year old Detroit resident, has been charged with Second Degree Murder and Felony Firearm as a result of his shooting of a fleeing trespasser at his residence.

This case has garnered a lot of publicity. Some are hailing Croff as a hero who deserv… Continue

Gibraltar Trade Center Gun Shows

Recently I cast aside a vow I made years ago and attended "The Gun and Knife Show" at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor, Michigan. In the past, I had been disappointed by my prior visits and had pledged to never return. However, a friend recently asked me for my opinion about guns shows in general and about the show conducted in Taylor. I told my friend that it was a waste of time. Undaunted, my friend pressed me to attend to serve as a guide. I relented - in part - because I reasoned that I… Continue

Your Handgun Is Always Somewhere

All handgun owners have the responsibility of knowing where their handguns are located at all times. By itself, a handgun poses no threat to the safety or welfare to other people and property. A handgun is neither good nor bad. However, in the wrong hands a handgun can be utilized negatively with dire circumstances. Each and every second of the day, your handgun is somewhere and you need to know exactly where that location is. If handguns are properly controlled and policed by their owners, no u… Continue

Does A Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Conviction Justify A Gun Ban?

A few days ago, I informed a prospective CCW Class student that he was ineligible for a state of Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL). He was surprised at my disclosure because the issue at hand was a misdemeanor domestic violence (DV) conviction on his record.

It didn't make sense to him that a misdemeanor offense would have such a drastic consequence on his future ability to own a firearm. In response, I told him about the Lautenberg Amendment to the 1968 Gun Control Act and urged him to r… Continue
