In today's After Dark episode, I traveled to Georgia to experience an exiting aerial shooting event hosted by the Greenline Tactical crew including instructor Jon Jeu.

Recently, Jon Jeu has been taking a different approach to firearms training with his own company, Contingency Tactical, offering some innovative and impactful courses. The event gave me a chance to learn a few things about Jon and I asked him to join me on the show. We were able to squeeze in a few minutes between helo flights where we got into the details of his upbringing, LEO and military career, and a discussion around his expertise and vision.
