Emergency preparedness doesn't have to mean you're expecting the apocalypse. A well-stocked go bag is simply smart planning for real-world emergencies — from natural disasters to unexpected situations where you need supplies fast.
"It can be anything from any sort of an emergency that requires you to just be able to grab something that has a wide variety of things that you could potentially need," explained John McClain from Team Armscor.
Whether it's a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, power outage, or other unforeseen situation, having emergency supplies ready can make all the difference.
Ask ten shooters how often they clean their guns and you’ll get ten different answers. But one takeaway is consistent: most people clean their firearms far more often than necessary.
But many experienced shooters go thousands of rounds between deep cleanings — because reliability comes from smart habits, not constant scrubbing.
“I do not clean my guns in under 5000 rounds unless there's a malfunction," explained John McClain from Team Armscor.
That one statement challenges a lot of traditional assumptions about handgun cleaning and sets the stage for a more realistic, less intimidating approach to maintaining your firearm.
