    If you aren't reading Rory Miller's blog, you're missing some good material

    I have Scaling Force & Force Decisions. However, I didn't think the latter was as good as the ones I'd listed, and I haven't read Scaling Force, yet. Meditations & FV, however, were so good that I reread them almost immediately. I almost never do that.

    Got "interviewed" 90 minutes ago...

    Reframe it all you like, that statement reflects what is going through the speaker's mind. Frequently, it indicates a guilty mind. An innocent person expects everyone to know he is innocent. Another similar example may be found at this link.

    Got "interviewed" 90 minutes ago...

    Well done. I agree with your assessment. I might have been ruder before he closed the distance.

    Zimmerman/Martin shooting

    While the data is incomplete, as a general rule: "Don't make somebody else's problem your problem" seems to apply here. If you carry, and you get involved in a confrontation, it has the potential to be a gunfight. Who here would choose to be in a gunfight? If one is carrying, one should be just...

    Question for trainers: why multi-day courses?

    Exactly. For itinerant instructors, there is an economy of scale that favors 2 & 3 day classes. For fixed facilities, there is a similar economy of scale that favors week long classes.

    Can You Access Your Training When You Need It?

    Great post, and exactly the reason that the Tactical Conference and the NTI are (were) so useful.

    I need training

    A lot of classes sound the same. There is usually a reason why the big names are the big names. Just because the course description sounds similar to that of Farnam, Cain, Awerbuck, Jeans, Givens, or Rogers does not mean the training is the same.

    What options do "minors" have for self defense?

    Agreed. His follow-up book, Facing Violence, is also very good.

    Went to Condition Yellow at a resturant

    Great points, Ken. When I go to Orange, I start looking for a way to be someplace else.

    Reality Check: Do you know how to shoot?

    I agree with Sam. Until we define what knowing how to shoot is, we can't answer the question. The other point is that the conditions determine the quality of the shooting; grading is on a curve. 2.5" slow fire 1 handed with a 1911 @ 50 yards is world class. The same group, slow fire at 3 yards...

    Mindset: Fighting Back - "Natalie" in San Antonio

    So really, she didn't flip her coin at all. She chose to resist at the beginning, when the perp had less control, when there were more witnesses, and there was a faster more effective 9-1-1 response. The fact that he got in the car makes me believe he intended to take her somewhere else. That...

    Rory Miller: "Facing Violence: Preparing For The Unexpected"

    I read Meditations shortly before Facing Violence was released. I immediately realized I was going to have get the follow-up. Both are excellent. I've already gone back and reread Meditations and am working on my 2nd reading of Facing Violence.

    Exibition shooters may have an edge in a S.D. senario

    How many of those murdered were armed and knew they were in a fight?

    Exibition shooters may have an edge in a S.D. senario

    Every month the American Rifleman lists a bunch of episodes in which people, almost all of which had less training than Al Thompson is providing in his few hours, were able to defend themselves.

    Rangemaster Training in Kentucky

    I was at Tom's last class in KY, and it was well worth the drive. I have a wedding the weekend of these classes, so I'll miss these. Hoping to find out soon when he is coming back to the Carolinas.

    shooting from the hip

    Plenty of time there to bring the pistol to eye level, get a rudimentary sight picture and fire more than 3 shots. Might even get some hits. Do I really have time to be missing in this scenario?

    gun training in kentucky

    In addition to the in house trainers at Cedar Ridge, they also bring in top tier outside trainers. I drove from Charlotte to take a weekend class with Tom Givens. They are sponsoring a 3 day Gunsite 150 in November.
