      Modern Weapons: A Law-Enforcement Officer’s Best Advice

      Jul 25, 2018

      For self-defense, are there any tools or weapons you recommend people carry? Let’s exclude guns because of all the laws that need to be followed. I recommend all the usual weapons — a knife, a kubotan, pepper spray, a tactical flashlight — but you ha

      Combat shooting: Learning how to shoot under pressure when your skill with a gun may be the only thing that stands between you and Death. It’s a serious topic.

      The fact is, it’s a life study. It encompasses kinesiology and physiology. It certainly encompasses psychology too. It encompasses knowing what you’re fighting for. It encompasses preparedness to die for something more important than oneself. And it also requires a broad set of skills that ranges from threat recognition to unarmed combat ability, to skill with tools that are capable of overpowering forcible assault but unlikely to cause death, all the way up to Lethal Force: a degree of force, as defined by law, that is likely to cause death or great bodily harm, i.e., crippling injury.

      One of the great myths of the discipline we call combat shooting is that the gunfight will begin with the first draw and end with the last shot. If you study it in depth, long before you’ve spent a lifetime in the pursuit of that knowledge you’ll realize that the gunfight begins long before the participants face each other, and its terrible and powerful echoes may not finally go silent until you are on your deathbed.

      But you will be ALIVE in those last moments on your deathbed. You will have filled your allotted years. You will be surrounded by those you love, and those who love you. You will have spent as much time on this earth as you can, doing good things for good people.

      WEARING PROTECTIVE GEAR and using Simunitions™ guns, a practitioner performs a building search in the famous Funhouse at Gunsite Training Center.

      And that is reason enough to study this discipline, a discipline that can keep you alive when, in an instant, some vicious predator chooses you at random as his choice for the victim he will murder tonight.

      If you are attacked by someone who wants to kill you, you will be glad that you were skilled in these disciplines, and had developed the mental and emotional wherewithal to employ those skills when you were attacked. These skills and this knowledge will have literally saved your life. You will read in these pages about many good people – cops, military personnel, ordinary law-abiding armed citizens – who survived to live out their lives because they were able to beat their homicidal attackers at their own game and stay upright when the other guy went down for the permanent count.

      If you are never attacked by someone who wants to kill you, rape you, or otherwise horribly hurt you, and you die old and fat and happy without ever having had to draw your gun, that’s a wonderfully positive outcome. I’ll be happy for you. Everyone who knows and loves you will be happy for you.

      If you are like me, you will wind up in the middle. It is the space where most police officers, and most armed citizens who do need to resort to their firearms, end up. Your ability to get the gun out in time to ward off the attack will, in the statistics of the matter, probably shortstop the action right there. It has always been so for this writer…but let me be the first to tell you, I have been one of the lucky ones.

      I’ve never been in a gunfight, which I would define as two or more people shooting at each other. (Get a whole bunch of people shooting at each other, and you have a firefight; I’ve had the good fortune to never have been in one of those, either.) What I have experienced is multiple armed encounters, I and someone else armed or reasonably perceived to be armed facing each other across the weapons. In every one of those, the other person ceased hostilities and either dropped their weapon and surrendered, or turned and fled.

      In some of those cases I was an armed citizen. In some of those cases I
