      What is the end goal of neutering this countries police forces?

      Honestly, I have ZERO problem with a less aggressive police force, even if that decrease in aggression means a decrease in their ability to "protect" us. Thats what my gun and my (soon to arrive) ccw permit are for. I would LOVE to see American citizens take a more active role IN THEIR OWN...

      China demands that the US Citizens be disarmed

      I find the whole idea of China wanting the US to have stricter gun control ironic, considering that half of the shotguns used in the Home Defense Shotgun course I took last week were Chinese made (H&R Pardner Pumps, and an IAC Hawk). I am quite positive that if we ever lifted the ban on...

      Woman shot by police after shooting intruder

      One thing that someone mentioned in the article's comments was that the woman had just discharged a shotgun in an enclosed areas, most likely without hearing protection. It is anybody's guys how much she actually heard when the officer gave his command.

      Would you participate in this training?

      Maybe if I was in some kind of high speed Delta Force/SEAL Team 6 hostage rescue unit. But as an armed citizen? NOPE. I train in defensive gun use to AVOID being injured or killed. The last thing I want to include in my training is something that puts me in GREATER DANGER than what I might...

      My cousin was just shot.

      I prayed for your cousin. Your story has lit a fire in me to take one of those "tactical treatment of gunshot wounds" courses. It is part of the personal protection package that we as gun owners often forget. Another thing that hit home about this story is that there is a good chance that I...

      BS and Fairy Dust- The business of making the simple complex

      I quoted this because it almost PERFECTLY described the first time I started seriously training in the martial arts during my freshman year in college. I was studying a guy who taught "traditional" Japanese karate, and claimed that it was great for self defense. Although I was far from a thug...

      New Black Panthers Want Every Black Man Armed

      Rhetorical. Unfortunately, I know why media (both mainstream, right and left) like to promote these knuckleheads. It is sensationalism at its best. It just irritates the holy heck out of me.

      New Black Panthers Want Every Black Man Armed

      Just wanted to add one more thing. Over the past decade, there has been a nice amount of scholarship done on the history of black firearms ownership. It really is fascinating. Here are some links to books about the subject: Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms Deacons for...

      New Black Panthers Want Every Black Man Armed

      Personally, I would love to see a renaissance of black gun ownership. I say renaissance because up until the late 60's/early 70's African-American firearms ownership was EXTREMELY prevalent. Remember that that vast majority of blacks living in the north had ancestors who migrated from the...

      Front sight Training Institue

      I've thought about going to Front Sight too. They have these gift certificates for 2 days of training that people give away or sell on eBay and other forums. The price is so low (about the same as what I pay for an hour of range time) that as long as they don't teach anything to screw me up...

      Would your holstered handgun protect you from this?

      Yes. There is that. :D Personally, if I was a cop and saw Guro Dan doing something suspicious, I would either keep walking and mind my own business or draw my gun on him from across the street. However, while Inosanto is certainly an expert with the blade, I question whether those officers...

      Would your holstered handgun protect you from this?

      Here is a video that may offer some perspective about drawing your gun in a close range knife. These are armed, trained police officers being ambushed by a knife attacker at close range. Look at how challenging it is for them to draw their open carry handgun. Now add to that the fact that as...

      Would your holstered handgun protect you from this?

      Did anyone notice what the attacker got from the drawer after stabbing the victim? I am talking about the object he tucked into his pants. It looked like a holstered gun safely locked away.

      Would your holstered handgun protect you from this?

      Attacks like this have been a big topic in the martial arts/mma community within the past 10 years. A lot of the traditional knife defenses martial artists learned proved to be of limited utility when facing an aggressive resisting opponent bent on stabbing you. Three trainers/groups in...

      Shotgun Home Defense Geencastle IN

      I wanted to send this via PM, but since I do not have enough posts, putting it on the thread will have to do. I am really interested in this course. I have been looking for a good shotgun course for a while. I have two questions. First, while I have experience with pistols and rifles, I have...

      1st defensive pistol training course, is stance important?

      Hi guys, I am planning on taking my first defensive pistol course either in April or May, but have a decision to make. I am choosing between a few different places. Some use Weaver, some use modified isosceles/natural action stance. Should I base my training decision at all on the stance the...
