Most people who get picked handed themselves over without saying a word.That’s a hard thing to hear, and people don’t want to hear it, but it’s the truth. When somebody gets mugged or worse, everybody wants to talk about the criminal. What’s wrong with him, where he came from, what society did to bend him. Almost nobody wants to look at the other half of it: the victim got selected, out of a whole street full of people, on purpose, and there was a reason it was them and not the guy walking ten feet ahead.I’ve told you before that…
The modern generation of body armor first began as hot, bulky wraparound Kevlar vests that protected against pistol rounds. But thanks to advances in materials sciences (and a healthy dose of government investment from two decades of continuous war) these ubiquitous police armor options have largely been supplemented or outright replaced by the leaner, more comfortable plate carrier. First popularized by special operators, plate carriers have since proliferated across American society — from SWAT officers to street cops, to tactical fitness folks (think CrossFit or the Tactical Games). And you too can capitalize on their benefits. A plate carrier not…

Two principles helped define Phillip Velayo’s life and guide him to where he is today: Keep your head up, and keep your face on the gun. The second has become an acronym he has shared over the past several years. Its literal meaning speaks to the ability for an individual rifle shooter to track a shot downrange, note the impact — or lack thereof — and make a correction, if necessary. The larger meaning alludes to accountability, accepting there may not always be a spotter beside us to help us dial in, that we — and we alone — are…
