Cruel Hand Luke

This one is coming up THIS WEEKEND !

Just about a month to go on this one!

What AJ is getting at is that people are often asking the WRONG questions. "CAN I shoot him?" is a question of ability and to some degree availability of a gun with which to shoot him. "Should I shoot him?" is a question of ethics or morals. "May I shoot him?" is a question of permission or legality. "Must I shoot him?" is the only question we need to have a clear answer for (and that answer is usually crystal clear if you know what to look for) So people should be asking themselves if they MUST shoot not if they can, or should or may. Your answers will probably be different in your home vs in public. Questions of Ability, Opportunity and Jeopardy seem to be easier to answer when they are being asked about someone in your own home instead of in a parking lot.

TWO WEEKS TO GO!!!!!

If the latest reports are true he had been getting increasingly violent and actually had recent physical "scuffles" with co workers and was going to be reprimanded for it. So those were the "warning signs" I guess but they were quick and not protracted. Wonder if there might be a medical reason for the recent violent outbursts?

The "tactical advantage" the guy in VA Beach had was that he was armed and the victims were not. The suppressor (if it really was a suppressor) was irrelevant. And he was killed by the responding officers so we have incontrovertible proof once again that ARMED good guys are what stops armed bad guys.

JUST THREE WEEKS TO GO !

Kalashnikov Rifle Gunfighting October 12 - 13, 2019 Dayton, TN Price: $350 Instructor: Randy Harris Suarez International was among the first to recognize the AK system and it's usefulness as a Civil Defense Rifle in the USA. Rifle confrontations worldwide rarely exceed 25 yards. Rather than a long range marksman's weapon, our research shows the rifle will most likely be used just outside the reach of more conventional weapons, as well as within these closer intervals of confrontation. This course will take the student quickly through the basics and impart the techniques necessary to deploy an AK type rifle in a close interval emergency. This course is highly recommended for civilian defenders, military personnel, or police operators (we make no distinction in the material presented). CLASS AND RANGE DETAILS DURATION: 2 days TIME: 9:00AM to 5:00PM AMMUNITION: Approx. 500 rounds (Minimum) RANGE & GEAR REQUIREMENTS: The usual range safety gear you always take to go shooting. A quality 7.62x39 based rifle. ComBloc is fine, SIG 556R is fine too. Sling on the rifle. At least three magazines, and accompanying pouches (chest rig is fine, war belt is fine, sneaky bag is fine). Bring a pistol with a way to carry it incorporated with your rifle system. Also Helpful Bring spare clothing appropriate for the weather, including a hat, sunscreen, and bug repellent. Plan to bring lunch, snacks, and water (min 1 gallon per person) for the entire day unless driving to lunch is a viable option from the range location. Bring allergy medication (if needed), a chair (if you prefer), note taking supplies, and a boo boo kit (band aids, gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and tape). You may wish to bring pads such as knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves if the class lends itself to that.

Yes, I will most likely be doing at least 1 more this year.

One week to go!!!!!

Maybe......you’ll just have to wait and see.

And if the guy had been able to LEGALLY carry the gun ON HIS PERSON and not be FORCED to leave it behind then this would not have happened either. I'm not saying he bears no responsibility. I'm saying if it had stayed secured ON HIS PERSON then this could not have happened. But because people (legislature) thinks that an otherwise law abiding person suddenly becomes a craven killer if he carries his gun anywhere near a school event he is forced to leave it unattended. Now should it have been better secured? Of course. But it does not get any more secured than when it is secured on your person. This is a good argument for an "enhanced permit" that would allow those so permitted to carry ANYWHERE so that they are not being forced to leave guns unattended in public when they enter areas that otherwise do not allow guns.

This class is an excellent place to start for the person who maybe has their permit and realizes that the permit class was not really training and wants to dip their toe in the "tactical training world" to be better prepared to deal with threats, but does not want a "SEAL Team 6 fantasy camp" experience. This class is geared toward dealing with the most likely realistic threats. This class covers not only HOW TO SHOOT WELL, but when to shoot, how to recognize an impending assault before it happens and how to hopefully avoid HAVING to shoot. But just because it is our "basic class" does not mean that more seasoned shooters don't get a lot out of it too. This class is a full presentation of FIGHTING with a pistol which is different from just "safely handling a pistol" . I combine real world civilian experience in interpersonal conflict, 20 years of experience in teaching people to shoot, fight and THINK combined with Master class shooting skills and a verifiable resume of continuing education and high level shooting performance. If you are looking for a class to put you on the path to mastery of the martial skills or simply to take a class that actually teaches you how to employ your pistol against the likely threats you would really face on the street this class is what you are looking for.
