Here's A SNEAK PEEK At What's Inside:
 
                     
  COVER STORY:
LESS LETHAL OPTIONS
Personal Protection Without The Bang
Richard Mann
   
               
     
               
 

Don’t shoot the messenger but, sometimes a gun isn’t the best personal protection option and sometimes it isn’t an option at all. Guns are cool but so is staying alive. It’s not legal to carry a handgun everywhere and depending on the way you’re dressed, it’s not always practical. I enjoy guns but I really enjoy breathing oxygen. It’s my most favorite thing to do. Since I like it so much I plan to keep on doing it. That’s why I carry a handgun for personal protection. It’s also the reason I carry other things.

Sometimes I carry a less lethal device in addition to a handgun and sometimes as my only means of protection. My family just returned from vacation in a hot, humid part of the country. I like to think of myself as tough and as the defender of the family but 95 degrees and 95 percent humidity is my kryptonite. I was in shorts and a tee shirt almost the entire time. My gun was in the car but in my pocket I had something else.

  MOSSBERG'S 590A1
A Multipurpose Shotgun
John Taffin
         
                     
  I am not a great friend of progress but I have to admit e-mail, digital cameras, and especially a computer which allows me to dictate my articles, all combine to make my life as a gun writer possible, or at least a lot easier. Another great aid to me is caller ID. I know at a glance if it’s a welcome call from friend, family, or someone from the industry, or one of those dreaded solicitor calls I can ignore. I especially like to see the words “Buckhorn Gun” appear on the little screen as it normally means one of two things. The boys of Buckhorn, Matt, Mike, Tom, and Tory are even more important to me as a writer than this computer I am now talking to.

  LAND GUNS
Rural Protectin And Tool-Sense

Roy Huntington
         
                     
  My wife and I rank among the blessed ones these days. After literally 20 years of dreaming, we finally moved out of the rat-race of Southern California onto 20-some wooded acres in Southwest Missouri. We have big, booming oaks and other hardwoods, and lots of pastured land. Our driveway is a bit more than a third of a mile long, and our nearest neighbor is about the same distance away.

  HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BLADE
Blade Geometry 1010
Pat Covert
         
                     
 

Choosing a knife is no different from picking the right firearm for your needs. Knives are as diverse as guns and none of us wants to get stuck with something we can’t use. All too often someone will buy a knife based on its cool look only to find out later, often at the wrong time, it fails to perform the purpose intended. This isn’t surprising considering how hot and competitive the cutlery market has become since the turn of the millennium. The knife world we once found easy to navigate has become a jungle with more twists and turns than a good Clive Cussler novel.

  STRONGHOLD
One Man's Plan To Protect His Family
Gary Lewis
         
                     
 

Twenty-some years ago, I was 17 years old and in the market for a ’66 or ’67 Ford Fairlane GT. One night, cruising past a burger stand, I spotted one — a ’67 GT with a V8 and four on the floor. I approached a group of men at a corner table. “Who’s driving the Fairlane?”

There were five of them. One stood to his feet and drifted right, another fellow slid out to the left. Yet another made a move for the door. Flanked. One man in his early forties, 5' 10", 160 lbs., with brown hair and cold blue eyes met my gaze. “Who’s asking?”
