Because if you can read this sentence, that’s thanks to your brain, the most crucial tool you own. And full-face motorcycle helmets protect your precious cargo. Pulling on these hard hats, we rode in a range of weather from rain pelts to baking sun and everything in between. With these safety accessories, we motored in slow and fast conditions because armor that keeps you cool at highway speeds might be miserably hot on a slow, unpaved two-track session.  For…

“Send in the Marines.” It’s been the solution to America’s problems for a long, long time. A prime example of this old adage was seen recently when Marine Corps veterans Derrick Perry and Matt Kolakowski came to the rescue of shoppers at a Michigan Walmart. Perry was checking out at the store when he heard screaming. Like most Devil Dogs, Perry was taught to run toward the sound of trouble, so that’s exactly what he did. He followed the commotion to the parking lot, where he saw a knife-wielding man who appeared to be on a rampage. Thank you Marines.…

Whenever I plan an excursion to Gunsite Academy in Paulden, AZ, for training ,there are three essential items I always take with me: three firearms (two for the specific five-day course I am taking plus a backup should one of those guns become inoperative), a minimum of 500 rounds of ammunition and a box of cigars. By the end of the grueling, five-day course, no matter which one it may be, I have acquired an enhanced confidence in my shooting skills, the 500 rounds of ammo will have been pretty much depleted and the box of cigars will be completely…
