Good points about the girl. Were I running this class, I would pass on "correcting" her stance - it's pretty textbook for defensive pistol shooting.
Yes, if you want to have a chance at living.
Please consider that you may one day actually face such a situation. It's not about heroism; it's about pragmatism. I don't condemn those dead and wounded kids. I pity them and I am sympathetic to the loss their loved ones are feeling right...
Second-Guessing
I don't think it's despicable. In my job as an LEO and LEO-trainer, I do it all the time. Every shooting report that comes across my desk, every incident gets picked apart by the training staff. What did this cop do right, what did he do wrong, what could have have done...
10-4 that, Jeff
In an active-shooter situation, we will walk right past the dead and wounded, after making certain none are armed, until we locate and neutralize the shooter. Rescue personnel will be permitted on-scene after we are reasonably certain all of the shooters are in custody or...
Cancel that moratorium
I AM a person with training who has done many VIP details, call responses, arrests, search warrants, etc. etc. and etc. I train for active shooter situations at least a couple of times each year. I'm not an "armchair commando" but a veteran LEO. I am in agreement with...
Oh! and maybe on BOTH
pictures have a menacing shadow of a thug cast somewhere. In both photos, the woman faces a deadly threat but in one, she is prepared to fight back. In the other, she is preparing to die calling 911 or MSNBC or whomever she has on speed-dial.:barf:
PROGRESS?
Oleg, stop writing when you should be taking pictures!
Scrap 85% of this concept and salvage the visual imagery. STOP making posters with more than 5 words. You are an excellent photographer and when you use images to convey your ideas you excel. The moment you start typing your product...
In 11 years of carrying daily
I have managed to tactically execute my poo from the safety of my own home or a toilet in a secured federal facillity. If you lack my Zen-like control over your bowels, practice focusing your Chi:neener: .

>>>1. Do you carry with one in the chamber?
Carrying with an empty chamber negates the whole purpose of having a weapon. I carry with one in the chamber.
>>>2. How do you carry (Front pocket, back pocket, inside waist band, etc)?
I carry in a strong-side holster (meaning I am...
Mr. Orange
"And he came in and started quoting some bible verse about laying vengeance upon us, and then he shot Marvin in the head, and then he tied up the manager and cut off his ear and poured gasoline on him and then he left and kidnapped a preacher and his family in a Winnebago..."

Three times
all on the job as an LEO. I do white-collar crime investigations so it's not like I'm chasing street-level dopers or anything. Most of the time, my work is pretty serene. When I used to work narcotics, it was standard to draw during arrests or search warrants. The four times I...
Holsters, Pistols, and Sundry
FBI and IRS-CI are currently issuing Glock 22 or 23 depending on the agent's preference. HHS IG was getting the Glock 23. Secret Service, the Sig 229 in .357 Sig. Customs (now ICE) used to issue the S&W DA/SA pistols, then went to the Glock 9mm. The last time I...
I am a federal LEO
and I often work with IRS CI special agents. This following bit from Sniper X
is an all-to-common misconception:
While they do have programs for those with tax problems, they still go after what they term "willful failure to file returns or pay tax." In legal lingo...
