The Patriot Caller 26

When push comes to shove, it’s nice to be well armed… For many of us, however, carrying a firearm 24/7 is simply not realistic. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be armed and dangerous as you go about your day. Many so-called “non-lethal” weapons can take down an attacker very effectively…  they can even be deadly. Plus, you can carry them with you into any store, office building, or business in America. One of the most practical and effective of these options is an ultra bright tactical flashlight, design to be used as a blinding, weighted, super-strong blunt force weapon. […]

The Patriot Caller 2

Recently, we received an email asking if we can recommend the best guns for seniors. It’s an idea that’s been suggested to us by multiple readers before, yet it had been put on the back burner, partly because it seemed a bit insulting to suggest that seniors would need different firearms that other shooters.

The Patriot Caller 0

Whoops! Looks like someone forgot to properly secure the parachutes to these Humvees before rolling them out of the cargo doors of these C130s… For at least 3 Humvees in this massive mishap, the picturesque green fields of Hohenfelds, Germany were the end of the line.

For the shooter who already has every other base covered, or at least thinks they do, there’s one more surprisingly practical category of firearms left to invest in… what we like to call the “shirt pocket pistol,” the sub-sub-compact, if you will. These diminutive little shooters don’t specialize in knockdown power, tactical prowess, or making an impression. They don’t specialize in anything but being small and lightweight, perfect for a shirt pocket. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why you might want one of these babies to carry around your property, shop, or wherever. First and foremost, pocket […]

Firearms are the overwhelming favorite among security professionals as well they should be.

Even with the Second Amendment enshrined in the US Constitution, some cities virtually prohibit the possession of firearms within their jurisdiction. Likewise, many states have laws the oppose carrying firearms. If you happen to live in one of these cities or states (often both), you may need to be innovative in […]
