If you wanna open carry you better train like a warrior and fight to keep that weapon no matter what!

A man was tragically shot and killed inside a Las Vegas AutoZone after a suspect grabbed the victim’s openly carried firearm and turned it against him.

Police say the suspect acted erratically before lunging for the gun on the victim’s waist. The struggle ended with a fatal shot. The gun was left behind, and the suspect was arrested a block away.

This incident is a brutal reminder that just carrying a gun isn’t enough.
👉 If you open carry, you MUST use a quality retention holster.
👉 You MUST train for weapon retention and situational awareness.
👉 You MUST understand that a visible gun can make you a target.

Nevada is an open carry state. But just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should. Concealed carry offers tactical advantages and avoids broadcasting your defensive capability to every unstable person in the room.

Stay alert. Train for real-world encounters. And never forget—the fight could start before you even see it coming.

Know when you can or cannot discharge a firearm. Shooting at an unk person turning around at the end of your driveway is NOT justified.
Our government expects you to get training on your own and be responsible.

“My openly carried gun is a DeTeRrEnT!!!!!”

We hear this argument a lot, and it’s time to break down why it’s plain old nonsense. Recent incidents, like the one featured by John Correia of Active Self Protection just this morning, show the exact opposite. Open carry doesn’t deter criminals—it makes you a target.

When you openly carry, you’re advertising your firearm to everyone, including bad guys. And guess what? They now know exactly who to disarm first. Without an active retention holster, you’re just one quick grab away from losing your firearm. Worse yet, once your gun is gone, it might end up being used against you or others.

Greg Ellifritz from Active Response Training explains it best: “Criminals who know you’re armed are less likely to be deterred and more likely to plan a violent ambush.” Open carry takes away your tactical advantage—concealment is your best form of retention.

We support the Second Amendment wholeheartedly, but responsible gun ownership means understanding the risks. If you’re going to carry openly, you MUST use a quality active retention holster. But even then, think carefully: is open carry really worth the risks?

The lesson is simple: Stay smart, stay safe, and always carry a gun—carry it concealed, and make sure it STAYS that way.
