As the world devolves into violence, and there is certainly an increase in violence over the past several years on the streets of the United States thanks to soft-on-crime political stupidity, the prepared citizen should focus on the tools and skills that matter most. I have been one of the more vocal trainers and writers... Continue Reading →
Another school shooting this week, this time at a Highschool in Georgia, killing two students and two teachers. The most bewildering thing about this situation is that it was committed by a 14-year-old. As of this writing little is released about the perpetrator. Does it matter? We will, undoubtedly, find out about the youth’s troubled... Continue Reading →

In the wake of every outlier event we see a new fad come into the self-defense and tactical community. Currently, we are taken with the notion of repelling para-gliding terrorists due to certain international events. While large scale terror attacks may be in our future, thanks to the immigration non-policy of late, the most likely... Continue Reading →
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 →
