Hello All

      Hello everybody and welcome to The Tactical Dad blog!  I'm glad that you decided to stop by and I hope that you find this blog entertaining and at least slightly informative.  As stated in the description above, please keep in mind that I am by no means an expert on any of the topics that I present to you and they are based solely on my opinion and personal experience as former military and through trial and error.  How to tactically implement your flashlight, engaging close range with your pistol, tactical messenger bags (or daddy bags!), thoughts and considerations for when the little ones are with you and the importance of carrying non-lethal weapons are some of the topics we will cover.  As I am working on the first article right now I would like to start things off by telling you why I got into the every day carry scene.  My reasoning is that I want to be able to protect my family no matter the circumstance. I want to be able, to the best of my ability, counter any threat or situation that I can possibly control. I know that we can't always protect everybody from everything. However, I could not live with myself if something catastrophic happened while knowing that there was something that I could have done but lacked the proper tools or skills to do it.  How about you?  Why do you carry every day?  Leave me some feedback.  And please visit some of the links at the top right of the page for great tips and gear.
