Another Reason to Keep your Kids Close……….

Posted on 29 June 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

This was one of the scariest kidnap incidents I have seen in a long time. As a parent I was on pins and needles through the entire video. Kudos to the Midwest City, OK Police Chief who saved the little girls life; he did not hesitate at the moment of truth and was textbook throughout…

Dealing with Stalkers

Posted on 11 June 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

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…

Urban-Guerilla Sniping v.3.0

Posted on 5 June 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

“History is nothing else than a long succession of useless cruelties.” -Voltaire- When you look at the situation in Syria, you see the logic in Voltaire’s prose. I suppose it is the hopeless romantic in me that wishes for a world that is not filled with asshole tyrants and despots that take advantage of the…

Training Stressors

Posted on 17 May 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

“Take time to Deliberate, but when the TIME for ACTION has arrived, stop thinking and GO IN.” -Napoleon Bonaparte Most firearms/combat training today lacks realism; Those “primal elements” that the student needs to experience when they are TRULY fighting for their lives.

Are you “Over-Thinking” and “Under-Training”??

Posted on 30 April 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

I have noticed a sort of trend in my training classes lately…guys “Over-Thinking” situations and by default of that mentality, putting forth energy toward the WRONG training goals and Under-Training. Let me give you an example. At a recent “Active Shooter” class, the topic came up of shooting from behind cover..granted, a valid training topic…

Neutralizing Knife Attacks

Posted on 10 April 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

In yet another sad addition to the catalog of violent attacks on school campuses, yesterday at Lone Star College near Houston, Texas a deranged individual went on a slashing spree with an exacto knife, wounding fourteen innocent people, two seriously. Thankfully, there were no fatalities. I will not get on a soapbox rant why I…

Promoting The “Helpless Mindset”

Posted on 7 March 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

I have known for some time that common sense and government rarely, if ever, go hand in hand, but as of late I have been shocked to see the outright and shameless “advertising” campaign if you will, by members of the left in state and federal Govt. promoting  what I call the “Helpless Mindset”. Let…

The Snap Drill, Revisited

Posted on 11 February 2013 by The Tactical Hermit

One of the most integral firearm drills the CO can practice is the Snap Drill. Whether with Rifle, Pistol or Shotgun, the Snap Drill solidifies the ability of the CO to get the gun up, either out of the holster or from low ready (with rifle or shotty), and make a solid shot on target,…
