self defense carry: Onions

About SD Carry

As a young boy in Texas, I grew up with guns. They were basic tools, much like my grandfather's mitre box or pipe wrench, there to perform specific tasks when called upon. I was taught gun safety by virtually every male adult in my family. I spent eight years in the US Navy operating and maintaing various guns from .30 caliber to 5" rifles.

After a few years as a moderator on a popular gun forum, I learned that there is much disinformation, prejudice and plain ignorance about guns posted constantly on the internet.

This blog is dedicated to sharing worthwhile information about the increasing acceptance and practice of legal concealed carry in our country. There is much mis-information and wild opinion about this topic among its practitioners and the public in general. The moral, social and legal responsibilities of concealed carry are immense and must be understood and practiced by all who legally carry a gun.

There is also a vast amount of practical and useful information about carrying and the weapons themselves and I hope to be able to share some of that here. Your comments are welcome, but will be moderated by me before appearing on this blog.

Stay safe.

Onions

Well, Ken Onion knife designs to be specific.

There are times when it may come down to a knife that stands between you and a serious threat. Few of us are knife fighters but having a good knife is much better than having nothing. Not to mention that the knife is our most ancient and useful tool. Yeah, a stick or a rock can be a tool, but you don't have to set out to purposefully make a stick. The so-called aeschulian hand axe, the earliest tool associated with hominids was primarily a cutting tool chipped from stone.
There are literally thousands of knives to choose from these days. I like the ones that are made for a purpose, that work like they should, stay sharp, fit my hand and the tasks they are made for and made to last.
