It was great to have 5 women in our American Defensive Pistol class this week. They realize it is their responsiblity fully prepared to protect themselves and others. I will never understand why we as a society tolerate terrible things happening to fully capable women but teach them from childhood they just need to be alert and call 911, at most carry mace and take a 4hour self defense class. This is somehow suppose to keep them safe against an often larger and or stronger man or men who have the tactical advantage for what they are planning to do. Then if they survive the attack they are suppose to rejoice and suddenly feel better if the bad guys are caught and move on. Would we knowingly put our LE or Military at that disadvantage? Always be fully prepared to defend your life and others with all means necessary. You can scale back from there.

Another great group this week willing to train in any weather conditions to learn to save a life! Not just call 911 and pray for help.

We are occasionally asked why we call our foundational pistol class American Defensive Pistol. In the context handgun training and carrying the term " self defense training " is regularly used. This does not reflect our view of our responsibility as trained and armed Citizens. Whether for work or just in daily duties my primary focus is the defense of all Law abiding American Citizens not just myself.

Today I found myself thinking of one of those life changing experiences I am so thankful for. When I was a kid of 21 - 22 years old I was on the scene of an armed robbery. Since I had been training hard in traditional martial arts at the time I felt invincible so I tried to stop it. Before I could close enough distance he turned the gun on me, he had 2 options at that time, shoot or not. Fortunately he did not but I swore I would never be prey again and have to feel that disgusting, worthless degrading feeling of being at the mercy of someone else ever again. I learned many things from that incident that helped me in so many ways.
#1. " carrying " a firearm does not mean in your car etc. It means on your persons! If you cannot reach it without moving past arms reach you are unarmed!
#2. Shooting a gun and gun fighting are totally different things. Even though I grew up shooting my whole life at that point I did not know how to fight with a gun.
#3. Combatives and gun fighting should not be mutually exclusive but combined. Most do one or the other, some do both, few combine them.
#4. Most traditional martial artists who teach disarming techniques do not carry a gun and or are not proficient at fighting with it.
#5. I would always prefer a CNS shot ( or any shot) to disarm someone rather than a fancy Hollywood empty hand technique unless there are no other options. They have a limited purpose but as a last resort.
The only worst feeling I could of had that day was if someone was injured or killed and I was not prepared to stop it. Never again though!

I always enjoy watching National Geographic but when they have a Lion pride episode I am glued to the TV. The male Lion has other rolls but its main job is security. MINDSET is on full display. He must be prepared, without notice to fight to the death 24/7
If the resident male Lion loses this fight the stackes could not be higher. Both of them will be badly wounded and one may die. His cubs will all be killed and pride taken. Should it really be that different for us? Should you not be prepared to fight to the death with any means necessary to defend you and or your family's life? When the Lord chooses to take me I pray it is such an honorable way and the others who have taken my life will be mortally wounded from the fight as well. Mindset, Tactics, Skill and Gear
