The first article I read discusses techniques for operating your pump shotgun from a prone position. The article “Running a Pump Shotgun from the Ground” asks what would you do if you were to trip and fall or be knocked down by an assailant.

The next article I read was “Using Cover in the Home.” You might think your home is full of things that can stop a bullet, but you’d be wrong. Learn what makes for effective cover inside the home and what won’t have much effect on incoming fire.

Finally, in “Dealing With Home Invasions,” Sheriff Jim Wilson discusses methods and tactics for dealing with an armed intruder or intruders.
