Jeff Cooper famously said “Violent crime is feasible only if it’s victims are COWARDS.” This video proves that point. It also goes to show what can happen when CO’s work together against a common enemy and FIGHT! (Sidenote: Kudos to those fireman who came in and kicked ass!!!) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=da4_1373496138

Dealing with Stalkers
When a student signs up with me for training, before they ever set foot on the range, I like to do what I call a “Why” Interview. Without prying, I try to get to the “real” reason why they are there. Often, I can tell by the first sentence or the expression on their face…
