So, here we go again, another mass shooting, this time at a dance hall in California. Interestingly, the suspect is a 72-year-old Asian man. Obviously, this is an unusual demographic of perpetrator. All ethnic groups tend to put up a pretty consistent representation among mass killing commensurate with their percentage of overall population; FBI stats... Continue Reading →
Ed Monk is a noted expert on active killers and I have heard good things about his presentation on the subject, as well as the classes that he offers on active killer response. Well, Tim Larkin had Ed on his podcast and there is a five-part video presentation of it on YouTube. I heard several... Continue Reading →
This past Tuesday night on the CCX2 show we had the pleasure of interviewing Stephen Willeford, the man who interdicted the active killer at the Southerland Springs Baptist Church. The interview is almost two hours long and full of amazing lessons and information. Beyond that, myself and the other hosts spoke with him for an... Continue Reading →

A certain Ronald Troyke murdered an officer with a shotgun, then went to his vehicle and withdrew an AR15. Hurley, who was nearby, responded and killed Troyke with... Continue Reading →

This past week we witnessed yet another spate of sickos murdering innocent people in two different active shooter events, one in Texas and one in Ohio. Of course, the usual suspects are proposing passing laws that would have no effect in mitigating such incidents. Of course, we have arguments over the classification of terrorism. As...

In the past decade I have read a staggering amount of books related to personal protection. There is a lot of great written material out there, and some that is not worth your time. I intent to start doing more brief book reviews to share my thoughts on some of these works. The most recent... Continue Reading →
While homicide and other violent crime has continued to decrease the mass-killer shooting attack has seen at least some degree of an uptick in the past decade. The left would have you believe the problem is accessibility of guns. This narrative suites their agenda: the desire to disarm the citizenry. The right argues that a... Continue Reading →
There is much ado about active shooters. I prefer the term active killers as mass murderers tend to use other tools besides just firearms: we have seen vehicle attacks, edged weapon attacks, and explosive attacks of late. Each, of course, requires some degree of differing response. But in particular the active shooter seems to be... Continue Reading →
When an individual hurts another, or perhaps many others, it is not the fault of that person; it is society’s fault, or the government’s fault, or some ideological or religious affiliation’s fault. It is not, however, the fault of the individual who actually did the deed. Does that sound like an absurd statement? Well, we... Continue Reading →
