Today: Movement is one of the best ways not to get shot during a gun fight.  You’ve heard “shoot, move, communicate, and you should always being doing 2 out of 3.”  Well how do you shoot and move.  Do you move then shoot, or shoot and move at the same time.  Listen to the podcast to find out what is the best.

But think about it.  Without any bias from prior training.  Is it better to shoot while moving or move then stop, then shoot?  Most people say you can’t shoot and move at the same time and make any hits.  That’s false.  Your hits will be better if you stop, but you can still hit your target and be combat effective while you are moving.

To find out how listen to this podcast.  If you can’t figure it out from their, you can join the Shooter’s Club Members or take a Modern Self Protection course.

Today: Two real-world gun safety issues we as professionals and novice alike can learn from.  One happened to me at the range (irony I know), and one with Massad Ayoob, one of the greatest instructors still alive.

Mine went well, Massad’s not as well.  No one got hurt on either but Massad did have an ND (Negligent Discharge) where no one was hurt and there was no property damage.  If it can happen to him it can happen to any of us.

Rule #4 (Know your target and what lies beyond) at the range

At Lonestar Handgun in San Antonio

Private area of the range

Filling Magazines

Rattle Snake ended up between me and her and I’m facing up range

Didn’t fare because I didn’t have a safe backstop

Notified range staff and they got him with a shotgun

Today: This is a TTT (Truck Talk Tuesday) where we discuss a single topic like it's you and me sitting in the truck for a long drive.  This week is on why you should set security first anywhere you go and anything you do.  It's an old habit drilled into me by the Marine Corps and is a great habit for you to get into.

Do you make your security the first priority when you get anywhere?  Do you look for exits?  Decide what to do if something goes sideways?  Do you put any conditions or protections between you and something bad?

I just moved into a new house (that's why I haven't been podcasting) and the first thing I did was start my security plan by setting security.  I put in the alarm system and met my neighbors before I moved the first box.

Do you set your priority for security that high? Always?

Click Here Get Notes by EmailToday: The reality of firearms training is there should different levels, types, and goals for training with different people.  Not about learning styles but about how much effort we are going to put into our training over a lifetime.  How we train and teach should be done to the amount of time, effort, and money that is to be allocated to the task.

Outline:

How we train and teach should be done to the amount of time, effort, and money that is to be allocated to the task.

4 Kinds of self defense people:

Lifers – People that make it their life’s work to be the best they can be at their station in life.

Professionals – Those people that treat it as part of their jogs. They schedule time like it’s a part time job and work on it every week, month, and year of their lives.

Hobbyist – People that work on it from time to time because it’s fun.

Dabbler – Buy a gun and take a class and then go to the range for fun and don’t worry about it.

Different Ways to Train People

All want to have fun, but in different Ways

Lifers – Want a challenge to make it fun (something so challenging, it maybe impossible).

Professionals – want to make a real-world association

Hobbyist – Want to see improvement to have fun

Dabbler – Wants to accomplish something to have fun

Course Creation

Lifer – As hard as it can be… with the impossible in there just to see their limits

Professional – Everything challenging but doable

Hobbyist – Culmination at the end… crawl, walk, run method

Dabbler – Each drill being fun and easily accomplished

Skills Desired

Lifer – Best of the Best… Won’t except anything but shooting with the best and pushing themselves and everyone around them

Professional – Be able to see that they can handle anything in their world

Hobbyist – Enough skill to know that they can take on almost anything

Dabbler – False skills that says they can do what needs to be done
