Most burglars don’t plan to kill until…

I’ve seen and read about too many incidents to ignore this…

Most burglars don’t go in planning to hurt anyone. But that doesn’t mean they won’t.

In fact, many violent home invasions start out just like any other break-in…Until the intruder is surprised: A kid makes a noise...or a door opens at the wrong time.

And in that moment, everything changes. What was supposed to be “just a burglary” can turn into something far much worse.

Here’s the frightening truth: Burglars rarely intend to kill – but when confronted, cornered, or high on adrenaline (or worse, drugs) – they may react violently. Fast. Without warning.

That’s why it’s absolutely essential to be trained, ready, and capable of defending your family.

That’s what the Home Defense Fundamentals course teaches you. It’s where you’ll discover:

• How to spot signs of casing activity
• How to create a family emergency plan
• How to protect yourself legally
• How and when to shoot…and when not to

Because when evil invades your home — you can’t afford to be caught off guard.

But you can learn to protect your loved ones. Our next Home Defense class is August 3, 2025.

We got the HPA added in the House, now we need your help to add the SHORT Act in the Senate.

Joe Biden’s ATF reclassified pistol braces as SBRs, weaponizing the NFA against gun owners.

Call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to add the SHORT Act to the Big Beautiful Bill, preventing attacks on the Second Amendment.

This is one of my favorite self-defense sayings: “The best fight is the one you’re never in.”

It’s 100% true.

And it’s not that hard to BOOST your chances of never being in a fight. Here are 6 simple rules to follow:

– #1: Don’t go anywhere WITH your gun that you wouldn’t go WITHOUT your gun

– #2: Park and walk in well-lit areas

– #3: Notice who notices you (people watching you are sometimes doing it for a reason)

– #4: Don’t bury your head in your phone in public

– #5: Don’t take sketchy shortcuts (like alleys)

– #6: Use your environment to watch your back (like reflections in a window)

Follow these 6 rules and you’ll instantly make yourself and everyone else around you SAFER.

Fi****ms training | Home Defense | Concealed Carry

06/10/2025

Right now, the Senate is considering a bill (S. 1531) that would ban commonly owned fi****ms under the label of “assault weapons.” This bill was introduced by Adam Schiff (D-CA) on 4/30/2025.

But let’s be honest about what this is: A direct attempt to chip away at your God-given right to self-defense.

This bill doesn’t stop criminals.

It stops you from protecting your family. Millions of law-abiding Americans rely on these very fi****ms every single day — for home defense, personal safety, and peace of mind.

So ask yourself…

Who actually benefits if this bill passes? Because it’s not you, it’s not your spouse, It’s not the mom walking her kids to the car in a dark parking lot.

This isn’t about safety — it’s about control. And if we don’t speak up, they’ll take our silence as agreement.

It’s time to make your voice heard. Tell Congress: Reject S.1531. Call your senators @ 202-224-3121 and let them know how you feel about infringing on your rights.

We need every freedom-loving American to raise their voice… before it’s too late.

Because once these rights are gone, they don’t come back.

Let’s stand together. Let’s speak boldly. Let’s protect the freedoms that protect our families.

7 Tips to Stay Safe Buying Items from Social Media Platforms

These 7 tips will keep you safe from violent people who use those platforms to find their next victim:

1. Always pick up items. Never have the seller come to your house

2. Always meet in a public place: many police departments often allow and encourage people to do online marketplace exchanges in their parking lot (but check your local department first)

3. Take a friend along (strength in numbers)

4. Be extra wary when buying expensive items: many thieves prefer to “sell” expensive items because they know you’ll be coming with a larger wad of cash

5. When possible, check out the sellers profile before agreeing to meet. Easily done with a platform such as Facebook Marketplace

6. Inform a friend or relative that you are meeting someone so they know to check in on you later

7. Use your instincts: if something feels off, it probably is. And even if it isn’t, you shouldn’t take a risk for a used toaster or set of used snow tires.

BONUS TIP: Carry concealed and think through EXACTLY what you’d do if the sale goes downhill. Being mentally prepared is beneficial
