A Mistaken Identity shooting happens every week on average. At a bare minimum, you should pick up your flashlight BEFORE you pick up your gun. Depending on your temperament, keeping the gun a few steps away may be a good idea also.
Very few people practice shooting with both a handgun and a...

The second article about Pine Ridge is an analysis of Lessons Learned on my Tactical Professor blog. I don't publish analyses like this to criticize the victim officers. Rather, I think it's important to learn from their loss so that the sacrifice they made wasn't in vain...
Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the Pine Ridge Shootout in 1975. Two FBI Agents were murdered in a hasty ambush on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. I wrote two articles about it. The first is a blow by blow account published on The Tactical Wire.

Here's the issue I have with mandatory training to own a firearm. When I worked out the numbers, if the entire training base (i.e., everyone who is certified to conduct training for private citizens and facilities for livefire training) was conducting training at full capacity, they could train...
This is a list I put together about 10 years ago on another forum. Since then, I continue to take at least two classes a year.
Instructors I have trained with: (classes/hours)
Farnam (6/120), Rogers (5/250), Stanford (4/16), Silverman (4/100), McCann (1/20), Ayoob (1/40), Armstrong (1/16)...
I will be teaching Concealed Carry Skills, a 3 hour short course, at Sandy Springs Gun Club and Range on September 30, 6-9 PM. This class is designed to make people who have only shot casually at ranges comfortable with how to draw a weapon from a holster safely and effectively. They will also...
Depends on your surroundings. I know the current mantra is stepping laterally but in much of our world retreating to the rear is the only option available. When I taught police officers, they often said that moving to the rear was obsolete. My response was: "When someone sticks a roscoe in your...
