    That's definitely true also. People are in a state of disbelief about consequences whether it's jail or death. But I still stand by my earlier comment. So many of these people just don't care about living or dying. Their life is garbage and they know it and they know there isn't any hope of...

    This is true. Often the perp either wants to die or is completely unconcerned with the possibility of death.

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    For sure. It really just comes down to rock solid fundamentals and decent eyes. I think too many shooters handicap themselves by believing that 25 yards is a long shot and never pushing their limits.

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    With training it's not difficult to shoot at 50 yards. It's not the distance that makes the grandmaster, it's the speed at which they can shoot at such distance. Go to a class by any of the masters such as Stoerger, Defoor, or any of the others and you'll see the whole class shooting that...

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    You have to be so careful with who you listen to. Law enforcement training is rife with terrible information. Being a good shooter at distance is absolutely a plus, especially for an officer who can't just walk away. Being able to make consistent hits at 50 yards buys me a little extra time I...

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    There really isn't much the cop could have done practically speaking. You can't handle every call from behind cover with the benefit of distance. The job just doesn't work that way, and it really doesn't work that way for non cops either. Every day people come into our bubble whether it's a line...

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    There are some excellent training points to discuss from this incident so it would be pretty cool if people could keep it on topic so it doesn't get shut down prematurely.

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    There is no rule anymore with a specific number of feet from the threat. Alot depends on the fitness level of the attacker, age, obvious physical disabilities, terrain such as fences or obstacles in between etc. Much also depends on the draw speed of the defender. Speed buys you time and...

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    This is why speed matters. If the cop was mentally prepared for the possibility of assault and had a sub one second draw from a duty holster he likely would have made it out alive. Very few train for this. People will say he got too close but the unfortunate reality is we live in a world where...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    This is like a fantasy situation. No one is wandering around pitch black buildings with no lights. It's not a thing. There's either enough ambient light where no lights are needed or the bad guy is going to be using a light to navigate your home if be doesn't turn on the lights himself which...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    I'm well aware. I teach these topics to people who actually go into harms way. Sure if you turn the light into someone's eyes and then turn it off their night vision will be ruined but so will yours. If the light stays on then all they have to do is squint, and put a hand up to shield their...

    Greatest invention in firearms history

    Considering you can't have a firearm at all without the basic components of a barrel, chamber of some sort, firing mechanism, and a means of holding the gun, I would say the greatest advancement is the metallic cartridge. You can have a firearm without metallic cartridges but that invention...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    White light really isn't as much of a blinder as one might think, especially indoors. There's going to be so much splash off the walls, ceiling, and floor that everything, including the person holding the light will be lit up. This is easily testable at home with a flashlight. The obvious...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    At the end of the day unless you have excellent night vision you'll still need white light to positively identify what you are shooting at, and night vision can lose effectiveness against someone else with white light. Either can be useful if you want to scan for a potential threat in the...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    Just turn the lights on. Night vision takes far more training to get accustomed to than most will ever get or even realize they need.

    Talisman or Tool Claude Werner Article

    I did read the article and I wasn't blown away by it. I understand what it's trying to say but it's not logical. A violent encounter can be anything from a non committed attacker who's looking for quick money all the way to multiple committed attackers who know violence very well. It can also...

    Talisman or Tool Claude Werner Article

    Would you rather rely on luck or skill when your life or freedom is at stake? For me the choice is easy. We'll never know the number of people who are murdered every year who may have been armed or otherwise and could have saved themselves if they knew what they were doing.

    LE Agency Using Sig Firearms

    I don't know of any agencies using those firearms. I know a few still using the 226 and going to the 320s.

    Question of the day- Fingerprints on fired cases?

    Fingerprints can survive quite alot. You have to have a good print to start with to be useful but once it's there it isn't as fragile as one might think.
