“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Are Handguns and Cars Alike?

by Jews Can Shoot on November 13, 2016

There is what you want, what you have, and what you think you need.

Ever wonder why there are so many makes and models of cars? After all these years one would think that the ideal car, truck, van, etc would have already been designed. It’s easy to laugh at such a thought when thinking of cars, but what about handguns?

After 17 years of professional shooting and having worked in the industry as an instructor as well as a bit on the retail side I’ve collected some wisdom for you: there is no perfect handgun.

Spend $80 for a Hi-Point or $5,000 for a Nighthawk (or approximately 60 Hi-Points). Will you find the perfect gun? NO. There is no such thing as a perfect gun and it irks me every time I hear a salesman attempt to tell someone that they will only ever need one handgun and that brand X is the answer. It is extra offensive when I hear it said to new shooters.

There are guns that are easier to learn with, and there are guns that are better for concealment. The most important factor in selecting a gun is what most often gets over-looked: what is the intended purpose of the gun? I don’t claim to have all the answers, but this chart might help. Below is a simplification and consolidation of 17 years of being paid to shoot and the experience from owning a few dozen handguns. Consider these factors when considering your first gun, or even considering your tenth: Home Defense or Range, Level of Learning, Concealed Carry or Competition
