A post I wrote for The View From Out West blog that discusses the sometimes touchy subject of open carrying a firearm for personal protection.

While I don’t advocate the practice, it is a reality in many parts of the nation. If people are going to open carry in accordance with their civil rights then I believe they should be exercising that right with the utmost responsibility and awareness.

To that end we will offer a one day course, on demand, that covers legal and moral aspects of open carry, gear selction, defending against gun grabs and practical exercises to put your gear and skills to test.
