Many years ago, I canned my own pickles. I had trouble eating the fruits of my labor, because the end result was a batch of mushy pickles – not appetizing.

With an abundance of cucumbers growing in her garden, Jackie Richardson set out to can pickles so they are crunchy and will actually get eaten by her family.

"I have had my CCW Safe “Ultimate” Plan since June of 2020. As someone that carries 7/24/365 and lives behind enemy lines in the gun unfriendly state of CT, I felt my odds of having to defend myself or loved ones was higher than most people. Plus the fact that if I have to use my firearm, state L.E. and prosecutors will definitely try to nail me to the wall. Then even if found not guilty, they allow the families of criminals to sue in civil court for wrongful death. CCW Safe is the best protection for my wife and I against financial ruin." ~ a comment from Dave, reader at The WON

CCWSafe announced its participation in three key training events to engage directly with firearm enthusiasts and self-defense practitioners and provide education that extends beyond the range.

Side-by-side shotguns always have interested me. I had a friend who competed with them and occasionally, I would get the opportunity to shoot her gun. I'll admit, though, I was concerned at first that using double triggers would initially cause confusion, especially since we were on a clays course, which was something else brand new to me at the time. Let's just say that I struggled a bit. However, that was many years ago, and now that I have the opportunity to shoot the Heritage Fi****ms Coachwhip, I want to ensure I am prepared before heading out to the club.

We call this one Double Trigger Time, since Michelle Cerino - Princess Gunslinger & Adventuress took it upon herself to learn how to employ the triggers of a Heritage Coachwhip shotgun. Find out why she particularly enjoys shooting this type of shotgun.

Wow! We love this idea.

A Message from Co-Founder Mike Darter

Our CCW Safe members strongly value the ongoing training we provide for situations where they may need to protect themselves or their families. Unfortunately, we can’t always be there to protect our families, and as our children or grandchildren grow older and become more independent, we often worry for their safety even more than our own. Our daughters and granddaughters are usually the focus of this concept.

That’s why, together with my oldest daughter Ashlyn, I assembled a team of personal safety experts to create Operation Halo. Operation Halo is an online educational
platform that hosts virtual courses, a safety podcast, and more. Our mission is to teach young women how to protect themselves in a preventative manner. Ashlyn serves as the messenger for the very important, but often intimidating topics we cover!

Situational Awareness 101, our foundational course, helps girls 13+ stay alert and make smart decisions in a wide range of situations. With many more courses coming soon, I strongly encourage you to sign up for our newsletter and enroll the young women in
your life today. Visit the Operation Halo to join, and enjoy 30% off Situational Awareness today!

There’s something that feels joyfully rebellious about navigating England’s public footpaths that take me through cow pastures, private farms and rustically carved out trails through the woods. Whether it’s stumbling upon a strutting peacock that’s out for a stroll from a private estate, farm eggs for sale using the honor system alongside the road or the surprise of livestock in the fields, I never tire of the new adventures that await, even along familiar footpaths.

There’s a reason most waterfowl guides I know choose to use BERETTA guns. They are reliable. These shotguns are veritable workhorses in the marshes, timbers, blinds and fields. So, when Beretta sent me an A400 Xtreme Plus in 12 gauge for this year’s annual waterfowl hunt, I thought, “There’s no way this one will let me down.” And, it didn’t.

Our Babbs goes duck and goose hunting in Arkansas with the Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus. Find out why she’s asked to purchase this one, and why it will work for women waterfowlers, in this popular post from our archives:
