Dr Piazza has an interesting and disturbing gunfight video posted on his blog today. A few points I’d like to make after watching it. First a break down of the armed citizens actions. :07 – He gets shot. It appears he was hit as soon as the bad guys came in. :08 – He moves,…

Drawing From Concealment
(This post was written in Feb of 2007 right after I went to Front Sight for the Four Day Defensive Handgun course and never posted.) One of the things you learn at Front Sight is to draw from concealment. Which is good because most of the civilians getting the training are doing it because they…
FrontSight Member Now
Well I finally did it. I joined FrontSight as a Legacy member. If you look at their website that is a $9,900 membership, but I got a direct mail piece that let me get it for $1,900. I’ve been considering becoming a member since Feb 2007 when the Mrs and I went for the 4…
