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.
