The LGC gets some press about our position on SB501
Looks like some folks agree with us on this one: Frankly, I think all pro-gun groups in Oregon should take their cue on this from the Liberal Gun Club. Screaming about rights isn’t going to sway those who don’t believe that right either exists or is as sacrosanct as...

Welcome to the Hump Day Reading List! Here are what I believe to be the three most important articles for you to read this week.
This week in Defense and Training:
A favorite criminal tactic: asking questions
This is, in many ways, a companion article to last week’s entry, which talked about the need to use verbal commands in the early stages of a criminal “interview”. This week’s article, from Greg Ellifritz, looks at some common questions criminal use …

LGC Spokesperson Lara Smith interviewed at SHOT
A quick video with Lara being interviewed by Stephen discussing the future of the club, things we're tackling in 2019, and some of the differences in the conversations that we have with lawmakers due to our more liberal leanings
SHOT Show 2019 recap
Over the past week, I got to attend SHOT Show 2019. While it had all the usual array of new (and not so new) guns, accessories, and related items, this year was different in one big way - I got to take an assistant! Our successful fundraising drive meant that Patti...
Your Hump Day Reading List for January 23, 2018
Welcome to the Hump Day Reading List! Here are what I believe to be the three most important articles for you to read this week.
This week in Defense:
Your voice as a weapon
We in the defensive training world spend most of our time talking about the neat stuff: shooting, punching, kicking, and the like. We spend very little to no time on the “soft skills” of self defense, such as managing distractions, assessing risk, and — …

Your Hump Day Reading List for January 16, 2019
Over the years I’ve gotten occasional feedback that the Hump Day Reading List is too long. More than one person has emailed me to the effect that their time is limited, and that they’d like me to identify the most important information for them.
