In addition, we've got our unique take on a super pack from Duluth in the form of "The Wanderer", a review of the LOKSAK Shieldsak and an in-depth look at the "Commander" folder from Emerson Knives!
Jamie continues her look at "The New Shooter Perspective" and then Amy gets into discussing Realtor Safety and lands a super interview with one of the industry’s top instructors and founder of "Meet the Pressers", Klint Macro. Dan looks at the medical and psychological implications of working and shooting in hot weather, Charlie teams up with “Gun for Hire Radio” Host Anthony Colandro, Self Defense legend John Petrolino shares his thoughts on the Tactical Pen, and Rob again shares his vast knowledge as an internationally known firearms trainer to help readers decide how to choose the right course to fit their training needs!
Then to wrap things up, Trampas gets into one of his favourite topics, that of "The Lost Art of Gunsmithing".
So with even more gear reviews and articles to put you, the shooter who lives and breathes "The Armed Lifestyle" firmly in control, we hope that you'll dive on in and enjoy Issue 2!

Armed Lifestyle Magazine Description:

ARMED: This has nothing to do with the concept of physical weapons, this is a mindset, a wealth of knowledge, a skill, an attitude - Armed Lifestyle will focus on exactly that, the LIFESTYLE.

LIFESTYLE: While Armed Lifestyle will feature guns, knives and other tools, primarily it will focus on the weaponized proper mindset, the lives at stake, the trainers around the country who excel in teaching, the ranges that make it happen and the companies that provide the best gear, not the most expensive. It will look at what it means to families to teach their kids and explore HOW to teach them safety, along with the fundamentals and what to look for when choosing instructors and classes etc.

Headed up by Editor, Trampas Swanson, who started shooting at the age of four, became a SWAT sniper, LEO instructor and Contractor for 12 years and civilian instructor for 11, the content and quality of Armed Lifestyle is unquestionable.

“We will explore the WHOLE armed lifestyle… What it means to use my grandfather's bolt action rifle to hunt deer now that he's not with us, we’ll feature commonly inherited classic guns, pro competition shooters who are known worldwide and even “field to table” hunting and cooking, plus other features to show how firearms are part of the fabric of our culture.

“Guns from history… Understanding black powder… Popular training options and not for profit Organisations that teach women only. We’ll take a look at training schoolteachers, first aid in the home, school, business and woods and countering mass shooters, plus “Refuse to be a Victim” programs and much more with some of the biggest names in the industry.

“This isn't just an industry… this is a life I have grown up in and around. This will be for your wife, your kids, your neighbors, those we train to protect and willing to give everything for. It will educate, enlighten and empower with the team I have put together.”
