No Tactical Teds!
So much of the firearm/defensive content available online is made by highly-experienced shooters that have, perhaps, lost touch with what it means to be a new or prospective shooter. They provide high level info that is simply unnecessary, and even confusing, to people that are just getting started. We call a person like this “Tactical Ted”. And this is no shade on them…. They are great at what they do. It’s just not useful to new/prospective shooters.
