Evolution Security Podcast

Last weekend Aaron was blessed to attend the NPE Counter Robbery course taught by Cecil Burch, Chuck Haggard, and our guest this week.  Darryl Bolke from Hardwired Tactical Shooting joined us to talk about the importance of training in force decision making for the armed civilian.  Unfortunately most citizens aren't prepared for the complexities of employing a firearm in crowded public places.  We also discuss the excellent option of pocket carried revolvers chambered in smaller cartridges like .22 and .32 caliber. Of which Darryl is one of the top experts and advocates for. 

We are offering our Defensive Pistol 1 course in the Tulsa OK area October 28th.  This is an 8 hour course focusing on what truly matters for men and women who carry fireams for lawful protection. Details at Eventbrite:

Chris Lapre 5! The heat is on between Chris and Cecil Burch for the top repeat offender for the EvoSec Podcast.

CARBINE - It is our modern musket, we believe we have a patriotic duty to be a proficient rifleman. This show we discuss the efficacy and the place of a carbine/rifle for civilians. We draw on Chris's vast experience with this platform as a working SWAT Commander. We discuss what civilians should be focusing the bulk of their training on, legal issues with longer distance engagements, yet the need to be a solid marksman out to extended distance with the carbine. We discuss some higher thoughts on zero, ammo choices, specific drills and much more…

Chris Lapre is a SWAT Commander for Pinal Country Arizona Sherriff's department and runs Asymmetric Options. Asymmetric Options provides training in firearms and tactics to Law Enforcement, Military and Civilians. Chris also leads training at his agency, providing opportunities for both himself and his deputies to train with the top instructors in the industry multiple times a year. Just recently, Eric and Chris took the Rangemaster Pistol Instructor and Certification course together where Chris was one of the top shooters. Chris also is an avid JiuJitisu practitioner and trains in combatives and weapons based grappling on a regular basis. This show the EvoSec Crew talk with Chris about his law enforcement career and his life of dedication to keeping himself sharp and the lives of his deputies and community safer.
