  • Podcast 191 NRA Honor Guard Thoughts and Review on TTT
    Click to download from iTunes
    Click Here Get Notes by EmailToday:  Truck Talk Tuesday we talk about the NRA’s Honor and Carry Guard Program.  Is it any good?  Should you want a class or insurance from them? How is the NRA acting now that it is officially in the training business to make money?
    The Honor Guard is their new (and improved?) training program with high end former military guys leading it.  Should you go get training from them?  I don’t know.  I’d like to take a class and find out before passing judgement, but as of right now, it looks like an advertising gimic and there are so many great instructors out there.  Let someone else spend their money to find out how good or bad it is.
    The Carry Guard is their insurance program.  I’ll do without it.  They will put 20% of whatever amount you paid for upfront and then reimburse you for the other 80% afterwards.  Worst case (Jorge Zimmerman) your defense could cost millions of dollars.  Carry Gard “Gold” is up to $150,000.  So if you have this program, get into a gun fight and win, then get prosecuted for it, the insurance will put up $30,000 (20%) and will reimburse you for the rest (sooner or later? After you are acquitted?). I don’t know when.
    The NRA kicking people out of the NRA Annual Meeting is scary to me.  I don’t mind the rest of it (think it could have been done better), but the NRA excluding people because they are doing things the NRA wants to do to make money at the last second.  Well, that just feels wrong and unethical.  I think they need to reavaluate how they are going about this and start again with an appoligy to some of it’s members about how they where treated.  Right now I don’t trust the NRA to keep its word because it lied to people that it had let into the Annual Meeting.  When you allow someone to come, they pay for booth space, have been there before, and then call them two weeks out and say they aren’t welcome without a real explanation, that’s wrong.
    Everyone makes mistakes, including the NRA, and I hope they can right themselves after this one, and make things better.

    Today:  Terrorism will continue to work in America for one simple reason: the people are not ready to do what is necessary to combat it.
    Some of you are ready for the fight, to help law enforcement, and stand up for what is right even when it’s hard.  Most people in America are not.  They just want “someone” to do “something” about it.
    Until we fix our culture terrorism will continue and may end up winning if we as Americans don’t fix ourselves.

    Podcast Outline:
    The Public in general is not ready to do what is necessary.
    They will not get involved before, during, or after an event.
    Race-a-phobia will drag us to our doom.
    The Public will not law enforcement do what is necessary
    Law enforcement does nothing and has no push back from the public with real consequences on the officers, supervisors, administration, or government involved.
    Officers that do things get major push back even when things go right. To the point they may lose their freedom, family, and everything that they ever worked for.
    Citizens will not stand up for officers doing what is right.
    Law enforcement will not do what is necessary
    War is not about arresting and convicting people
    Law enforcement training sucks
    Federal Agencies are a joke
    Race-a-phobia will get them fired or worst.
    After little kids at the airport
    Terror watch lists and warning are a joke
    Looking for bad things, not bad people
    Military
    Overuse of military force. Bombing them to the end will not work unless we do a war of attrition on an entire population (we should not be wiping out entire countries full of people).
    Fear of acting on small scales
    If commanders lose people they lose their careers. If they do nothing it is easier and faster for them to advance.
    Only way to win this is one-on-one fighting in the streets. We will lose war fighters, but can win the war that way.
    Our Spec-Ops troops cannot do it all. Conventional forces will have to get unconventional to get the job done.

  • Podcast 189 Brass Check on TTT
    Click to download from iTunes
    Click Here Get Notes by EmailTruck Talk Tuesday (TTT): A shorter podcast with just one quick topic to keep you thinking about your self defense.
    Today:  Brass Check/Chamber Check/Press Checks; Whatever you want to call it, should you do it? When should you do it? When shouldn’t you do it?
    Quote of the day, “Do you even Brass Check, Bro?”
    Almost every instructor has an opinion about when and if you should do a brass check.  In the simplest, a brass/chamber/press check is pulling the slide or bolt back on a weapon to make sure there is a round in the chamber.
    On one extreme are the instructors that say you shouldn’t have to do a chamber check because you should know without a doubt if the gun is loaded and you should be able to feel when you load the gun that a round went into the chamber.
    To tell the truth, if I’m paying strick attention I can tell if a round when into the chamber when I load my handgun and my ARs.  I can’t tell if one went in the chamber on all handguns and all ARs.  And I can’t tell even on my AK if one went in the chamber when I racked the bolt.  So that doesn’t work for me.
    On the other side of the argument is the instructors that say, you should chamber check your weapon every chance you get.  They run around the range before every drill and do a check.  It slows down everything and builds bad habits.
    I’m in the middle.  When you load your weapon, you should check to make sure you did it correctly.  Your life could depend on it.  Then anytime the gun is out of your control you should check it to ensure it is in the condition you want it in at that second while you are handling it.
    Listen to the podcast for more information.

    Podcast Outline:
    Last week I called 911 twice in 2 days
    What you should expect from a 911 operator
    How you can make the call go better for you
    Example 1: Can be found here (scroll down and play the call, skip the article).
    The caller does well after the bad guy hit him with a car and then tried to run him over
    The operator doesn’t fully listen to find out what is going on and has a bunch of miscommunications
    This could happen to you
    Example 2: Hear it in this YouTube video that is only sound.
    The caller says a lot of things wrong
    Doesn’t want to listen to the operator (even though this operator is giving good advise)
    Things go very slowly for a long time and then get very exciting at the end
    Neither example were convicted of a crime.
    How could you do better?

  • Podcast 185 – Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Review
    Click to download from iTunes
    Click Here Get Notes by EmailToday:  The new Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 was announced at SHOT Show in January of this year.  From Smith’s web site “…the M&P M2.0 delivers an entirely new platform, introducing innovative features in nearly every aspect of the pistol, including trigger, grip, frame, and finish.“ Not sure that is the case, but it is pretty cool.
    This podcast compares the old M&P I’ve carried and used for almost 5 years now to the new (and improved?) M&P 2.0.  While Smith says it’s an entirely new platform I found that not to be entirely true.  They redesigned the trigger but kept the same slide configuration.  In fact I put the old slide on the new gun and it appears to work just fine.
    Listen to the podcast to get a complete comparison of the M&P and the M&P 2.0.  Is the 2.0 better and/or worth replacing your old gun for? Listen to the complete M&P 2.0 Review.

    Podcast Outline:
    Start with a Plan
    Make it simple – Example: Bunker in place, call police, and wait for them to take care of the problem.
    Don’t forget to have a way for police to get into your home without kicking in the front door (especially if you have hardened the door)
    Harden Your Home
    Lock your doors…. always
    Start with making your front door to breach (check out this post on Securing Your Door)
    Window Coverings (like these Window Coverings on Amazon)
    Cut Back Plants
    Lock all Doors
    Harden a Room
    Add an outside door with a dead bolt to a safe room to your house
    Use Motion Lights
    Set up motion lights
    Create a lighting plan
    I just bought these motion lights to test on Amazon
    Only Go if you have to… Here’s a couple ideas
    Move if you have to
    Light and move
    Don’t be afraid to turn on lights (something like these remote control plugs on Amazon can help
    Move at the ready, figure off the trigger (remember and use all safety rules)
    Eyes and gun move together
    Practice moving smoothly through your house
    Learn long angles
    Slow v Fast Movement
    Slow
    Pie each corner, slowly
    One step at a time
    Shuffle small steps
    Methodical
    Fast
    Turkey Peak
    Found Corners
    Light and Move
    Tactical Pause
    I like speed
    Tactical Patience
    Why are you clearing the house?

    Today:  How fast matters in a gun fight? What speed matters? And how can you measure that time?  Speed is relevant to the bad guy.  So how fast do you need to be?
    Rob Morse called in a Voice Mail about the conversation Paul Carlson and I had about how fast should you shoot on the last podcast.  He brought up a great point about awareness and when you should use your speed.
    Shooting fast matters, but not as much as self defense tactics or your awareness of what is going on.
