When danger reaches the driver’s seat, some state laws allow individuals to claim Castle Doctrine protections within their own vehicle.…

The 1911 is truly a classic gun. It is robust, reliable and easy to shoot well. Well, it’s easy to shoot for right-handers, that is. Historically, the 1911 pistol has been a right-hander’s gun. Now, the history books tell us there was a time in America when a teacher would rap a naturally left-handed kid across the knuckles if they wrote with their dominant hand. For a 1911 pistol without an ambidextrous safety, press up (direction of the arrow) with the left-hand index finger at the base joint to put the gun on safe. Southpaw shooters must flash back to that…
