Sunday, July 14th, 2013Hodge Defense Systems…If You Get It, You Get It
Sunday, July 14th, 2013Since I posted it last Saturday, some of you guys may have missed the fact that Hodge Defense Systems officially launched a week ago. Over the past few years I had heard Hodgie’s name from a lot of guys that I respect and when I found out he had finally launched his own Black Rifle company, I knew that I needed to pass the word. While Jim Hodge is a guy you may have never heard of, he is very well known in select circles for building some outstanding guns and he is one of those mystery guys that big gun companies have on speed dial.
Trust me, you are going to see some great things coming from Hodge Defense Systems.

Gunfighter Moment – Ken Hackathorn 
Saturday, July 13th, 2013
You’ve got to identify which priorities you find most important. You may say, “My major threat is in my work environment, in my home, in my social environment, when I take my wife or family out to a restaurant or theater.” Where am I most likely to be exposed to a threat? And then address those requirements.
For example, I ask people who keep guns in their homes, “Have you ever practiced what your defense would be if somebody broke into your home? Where would you gather the family? How would you search and clear your own house?” They tell me, “Well, I’m going to call 9-1-1.”
Think about it! Most of the time when you get awakened in the night, you don’t know what it is! Typically, you’re going to take your gun and flashlight and you’re going to go look and see if there is someone in the house, or did the cat knock something off the dining room table.
So be realistic and practice and learn where the problem areas in are your own house and how should you go about searching and clearing to make sure you’re in the best protected position and the home invader is in the most compromised position. You need to think about it and do it! Under stress, the conscious, analytical brain doesn’t work very well and making plans then doesn’t work.
Work out a plan ahead of time.
