A majority of my adult life I carried a gun as part of my job. I carried it 40 hours a week for about 20 years and many, many more hours off duty. I wore it so much I felt like I had a permanent growth on my hip. Today, I have a license to carry a gun, however I rarely do.
Guns and ammunitio...

Why do we choose to use substances, and more importantly, why do some of us abuse substances? Well, simply, some of them make us feel good…at least for a short while. Cigarettes make you experience a rush for a few seconds when the chemicals hit your brain. Alcohol is similar. Initially, a perso...

I recently talked to two women who have cancer. While we talked I made the mistake of referring to them as cancer victims. Politely and with a seemingly deep down calm and non-judgmental manner, they told me they do not consider themselves victims, but cancer survivors.

February 24, 2008
Recently on my Internet Radio Show, The Kovacs Perspective, we did a Valentines Day special about the perils that can go hand in hand with dating such as date rape and date rape drugs.
When it comes to dating, statistically, Valentines Day is no more dangerous than any other day. However, it is a day so closely associated with romance that it seemed to be a good time to remind women to use caution and sound judgment in the dating world. So, even though Valentines Day is over this year, it is always good to remember some basics.

Recently, a stalker viciously killed a young female college student bringing national media attention to a problem that is always with us—quite often though, in the shadows, away from our consciousness.

Even when there are tons of cars parked in lots sometimes...

Most everyone knows about the five-second rule. This unwritten rule says that when you’re cooking or preparing a piece of food and it falls to the ground and it stays no longer than five seconds, it’s okay to serve or eat it. Six or seven seconds—throw it away, but five seconds or under, it’s all ...

Last week my friend Anthony was in the middle of his leave from the Marines before he went back for his third tour in Iraq. One night he was out partying with some friends in a major American city, sucking-up as much freedom as he could before he’d have to face the daily fear, gunshots and the cons...

What’s all the fuss about regarding domestic violence in the United States anyway? After all, in this day and age, people in some countries beat their wives on a regular basis and it’s quite accepted by their general population.

It’s two in the morning and you’ve just turned off the horror movie you’ve watched for the last two hours. It wasn’t great, but you just couldn’t seem to stop watching it.

Road rage and men, why not title this article road rage and women, or simply road rage? I’ll get to that in a minute, but I think it’s pretty safe to assume we all know what road rage is.
