WHATS IN THE NEWS
JOHN FARNAM ADVANCED HANDGUN COURSE COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY
We had a successful weekend with John Farnam in town. He was hosted by my friends Bob Jahn and Jon Thompson of mnguntrain.com and I assisted John Farnam as he conducted his Tactical Treatment of Gunshot Wounds and Advanced Handgun course.
Some of the highlights of the weekend were watching the students react to adversity, malfunctions, and failure. Each one met their challenges with steely resolve and overcame the problems they needed to solve. For some it was a matter of mastering the techniques or merely concentrating on the task at hand. For others it was finding out their equipment was not up to the task and are taking action to get the good equipment that won’t fail them in a fight. Some just need to get rid of their 1911 😉
I was honored to be able to participate as an Instructor with the fine group of Operators that attended each course. I can attest to the fact that we all worked hard and were sufficiently exhausted by the end of the weekend. 🙂
WHY WE SHOULD CARRY
A St. Paul woman shot her attacker with his rifle after being assaulted for five hours. While this story is about a defensive gun use, it’s not quite a “Why I Carry” story because the victim may have been able to avoid hours of abuse if a firearm was more accessible.

NO POLICE

While the authorities and the public in Ferguson Missouri continue to dither, the local residents are forced to take action to defend themselves and their property.
