Balancing Safety and Realism in Civilian Firearms Training

Posted on 24 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

[youtube=http://youtu.be/rI01qKAqYts] The following video was sent to be by a good friend who routinely trains with a former Spetsnaz member. At first glance, most people’s reactions are the same “This is CRAZY!!” but not until the end where Larry “arfcom” Vickers explains these are extremely advanced RUSSIAN FSB MILITARY Courses of Fire, meant for advanced SF MILITARY OPERATORS do things…

Bad Medicine: Healthcare and Guns

Posted on 20 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

Well, it is offically getting Orwellian around here now. The obama administration is seeking senatorial confirmation on their Surgeon General pick, Vivek Murthy, a rabid anti-gun supporter and activist. He states very plainly that gun ownership is a “healthcare issue” and supports the notion of combining gun control and medicine? Factor that in with the debacle of…

What do Goat Rodeo’s and Knife Attacks have in Common?

Posted on 17 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

[youtube=http://youtu.be/JlyUQHQhz0s] In a word:  CHAOS There is nothing (at least to me) that is more primordial, barbaric and just plain ass puckering scary than an attacker coming at me, swinging a knife intent on my imminent demise like in the above vid. Luckily, for the shop-keeper it ended well, the knife attacker (probably under the…

Another Cautionary Tale about Character……

Posted on 14 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

I have often reiterated on this blog how Good Character is just as important as Good Training for the survival of the CO in this immoral and violent society. I say this only because it is the past and present character of the CO that will be brought into question and examined intimately, more so than…

Beating The “Knockout Game”

Posted on 13 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

As society continues to crumble  and random violence begins to be the norm, the CO must up his game in being prepared to meet that threat head-on. The most recent brand of this random type of street violence is the “Knockout” Game”. A “Game” which to date has killed 7 people. [youtube=http://youtu.be/2U-Z1fZ9F3s] I do not intend…

What makes Ordinary Men Extraordinary?

Posted on 7 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

My personal definition: “The willingness to ACT in a situation in which you have imperfect information to save and/or defend lives”. Nothing exemplifies this statement better than two men who helped rescue 3 children from a minivan that had been driven into the ocean by a disturbed mother intent on killing all of them, including…

When Dustin is not busy with shooting exhibitions or running his Summer Youth Camp, he also offers weekend Adult and Youth Marksmanship Camps. Me and…

The “Gun Safety & Kids” Propaganda Continues…….

Posted on 3 March 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

  While Putin is drawing everybody’s attention with his shenanigans in the Ukraine, the Liberal Powers that be are continuing their very persistent, yet baseless, anti-gun campaign by drawing attention to the actions of people (more specifically parents) who choose to have guns around children are “unsafe” and “dangerous”. These idiots are now even taking…

This “Smart Pistol” is awfully Dumb!!!

Posted on 21 February 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

My dad has a famous saying that I use quite often nowadays “Common Sense is not so common anymore.” That saying applies very much so to this “bass-ackwards” device that is hitting the shelves in (where else) Kalifornia this week, the “Smart Pistol”. Developed and Manufactured by German Arms Company Armatix, which is headed up…

Putting the FIGHT before the TOOL

Posted on 14 February 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

Certain words in the English vocabulary produce very strong mental pictures when they are used. Take for instance the word “Gunfight”. When we hear it, despite the story that may go along with it, we often imagine two or more people blazing away at each other, bullets whizzing through the air. It could be the…
