    Weapon Retention Tactics and Training

    For what its worth,I was a defensive tactics instructor for the Niagara County Law Enforcement Academy for approx 22 years. I also did a bit as a firearms instructor. My take away was I was not trained enough so I took additional classes out of the departments stuff. It was very hands on and...

    Chicago Sues Glock

    And no where in the past few DECADES have I noticed ANY "politician" even attempt to make the USE of any weapon a further crime. Exactly the opposite in fact, use a weapon and get an appearence ticket ?? SO ------ its not the gun its the CRIMINAL,as we all can readily see. Now what !

    Talisman or Tool Claude Werner Article

    As I have seen and learned from experience. The act of aiming or pointing a gun at a threat,does NOTHING in many cases to STOP the threat. Too many YES including police get into the rut that just pointing that "talisman" at a threat will stop it cold. They learned that from the movies & TV...

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    FYI There was a video put out in the 1980's ------- yea that long ago. Surviving edged weapons. It stated VERY clearly that turning your back was THE WORST thing to do when attacked with a knife. It was a class given by "Street Survival" a group that made a ton of money BUT did not teach you...

    Officer not engaging the shooter

    I left in 2006 due to LOD stuff. But by that time we had done many drills about active shooters. By that time it was your DUTY to enter when you arrived and stop the shooter = PERIOD. This made me sick to my stomach.

    When Home Security Breaks Down

    I have seen and heard far too many who tell me they have a baseball bat/golfclub/knife to defend IF they ever hear the glass break or door kicked in at 'O' dark 30. I am sad for them , they dont see that the PROPER TOOL for any job already exists. Do not use a hammer to fix a flat tire. And...

    Concealed Carry at Public Events? (Moved from Legal)

    You made me ask you the question. What venue is so important that you are willing to risk great bodily harm that could be avoided ?. My true answer to your question is "not allowed" on here,where normal men would normally answer such. But I will avoid any place that I do not NEED to be [...

    Which Guns Would You Pick If You Don't Reload?

    From one who does not reload,so a real world answer. First I would get at least one Ruger Security 6,prefer 4" barrel and stainless [ but I own a blue model that is just fine ]. Then a lever gun in 30-30 as I own 4 and love that American caliber. A 12 gauge shotgun that loves slugs,like the...

    An Actual Use of Force incident for Discussion

    I did not get that he figured you were car thieves until I read the later post of him seeing you run from the car. I am surprised that it was towed on nothing but 2 youths running from it. It would take an act of Congress for us to tow under any circumstances [ became an LEO 1982 ]. And as...

    A Recent Incident Involving Shooting in Self Defense

    I was one that did this drill in classes On a daily basis. All failed badly when faced with a charging knife wielding attacker. It is a real eye opener to be attacked and need to draw and shoot. AND note that the gun will not likely stop that attacker IF you do put rounds where required. Unless...

    On the Subject of the Defensive Skillset

    Great missive and really eye opening too. As a retired LEO and firearms instructor as well as a defensive tactics Instr too. My take as a now retired LEO and " just a civilian" is that I want to train to what the actual threats could be,and see if I can get better results after training. For...

    tragic ending to a heroic act

    Only one who has never taken action that could result in the taking of life would post such as this. I must guess that you go armed and worry that your "heroic" action will get you lit up. I carry a arm band that I pray will help me if I actually MUST take action. The fog of war is a real...

    Who regularly shoots a gun older than they are??

    I am pretty sure the only guns that I own that are older than me are. Remington model # 8 in .35 Rem. And very possibly the old mint break top in .32 made by Harrington & Richardson. OMG = looked at the posts and suddenly realized the 2 WW2 carbines are older than me. as well as the Mosin...

    Loaded or Unloaded In The Safe

    As was said = YOUR safe and YOUR home = YOUR RULES. I was an firearms instructor/RO and I know that ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED. My safe has more than one gun loaded,see its MY SAFE and no one can enter it unless they get past the alarms / cameras / me.

    Know-it-alls in Training

    Been a while as retired 16 years. But I used and gave tribute to Bruce Lee and his line. You come in here with half a glass of knowledge. Empty that glass at the door and fill up the 1/2 with my information. Then when you leave,take the other half you left at the door and your glass is full...
