Firearms Redefined
Hello, everyone and welcome to my blog Obsidian Concepts. The purpose of this blog is to share my passions for firearms and gear, tactics, military, and news within the industry. I want to create a hub of reliable, cohesive, and relevant material for today's shooter. I am seeking to appeal to all demographics so the novice, experienced, LE and military communities. I am here to be transparent and honest on all matters discussed or chronicled here. I will post content once a week at minimum or more often if time allows.
Now, a little bit about me. I served six years in the Marines Corps as an 0311. I was in 2nd BN 4th Marines, 5th Marine Reg, 1st Mar Div. I was in Golf Company while in 2/4. I was deployed twice during my time in. I did one deployment to Afghanistan and my second was on the 31st MEU. I departed the military in September of 2015. I currently work as an RSO at a local range in Vegas.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and join the journey with me. To stay up to date on my journey as a shooter. Hit that subscribe button. Be humble. Be savage. Have a great day.
