"Si vis pacem, para bellum" This is a concept I've been thinking about for a while. The idea is that a thing, device, concept, or idea can greatly benefit by the addition of something that goes against everything the original stood for.

Current State of my AR, and Where I’d Like to See It
That's a bit of a misleading title, because I'd like to see my AR become two rifles. Okay, but seriously.

How … Continue reading Current State of my AR, and Where I’d Like to See It

My Every Day Carry
This article is related to last week's article, though not necessarily a follow-on. I consider my EDC to be a relatively minimalist setup, compared to most people who carry a gun. My personal philosophy is "as much as possible, with as little as possible", and I try to apply that to everything in my life, … Continue reading My Every Day Carry
