If you're interested in guns and survival gear, there's no better time of year than January. That's because this month marks the arrival of SHOT Show 2019, also known as the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show. SHOT is the world's biggest show of its kind, and as a result it serves as the perfect venue for companies to unveil their newest products. It's no coincidence that you'll see a sudden flurry of articles and social media posts about exciting new guns (and some weird ones) across the internet this week.

For those of us on the RECOIL OFFGRID staff, SHOT Show means spending a full week in Las Vegas checking out guns and gear, conversing with PR people, and taking as many photos as we can. We usually end up tracking more than 5 miles walked each day on the show floor bouncing from booth to booth, but we're certainly not complaining. It's an awesome show, and since it's not open to the public, we have a rare opportunity to cover it.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, January 22nd) is the first day of SHOT Show 2019, and it continues through Friday the 25th. We'll be there from open to close every day, and will be posting photos and video clips to our various social media channels. This live coverage from #SHOTShow2019 will be compiled into the gallery below as we post it, and updated automatically every few minutes. So, be sure to check back throughout the week to see the latest.

Although it's certainly true that many social engineering attacks happen on the internet, there's an equally large risk of falling prey to social engineering outside the digital realm.
