DON'T BE A VICTIM

[Solus]

Just to update those that care regarding this series...


I am with High Caliber Training (www.hicaltraining.com) outside Memphis, TN and the film crew just left our facility last week.  They covered shooting on the Roger's Range, low light/ no light procedures, and some driving techniques on our driving track.  From what I gathered from listening to the host and camera guys, a lot of money and time has been invested in this series.  They have film crews traveling all over America going to the different training sites (HCT, Blackwater, Gunsite, etc...)  They seem to be "spot on" with the stuff they're trying to compile.  Hopefully it will come across to the public and convince citizens to get out there and actually practice with their personal firearms.  Time will tell I guess... I will update again when we are given a chance to look at how they actually put everything together.

If they were filming just last week, and even if this was the last location to be filmed, it seems that 7/10 would be way to soon to have the production on the air?   

I guess last weeks filming might be for an episode farther in the future, though.

Is this on?  Saw the reminder in the Shooting Wire today, but checked my DISH schedule and couldn't find it.  Also, can't find it listed on the SpikeTV web page.

Just checked my Spike listings, nowhere to be found this morning. For those that are interested, the Hooters International swimsuit competition runs from 6pm to about midnight! PDT.

A few years ago I was picked for a jury pool for a murder trial in Houston.  It was pretty much an open and shut case, a local TV station had shown the survalence video of the actual crime. The man arrested was on parol for armed robbery, and his defense team was just trying to keep him off death row (no idle threat in Texas).
We all had to fill out a questionair, and one of the questions was "What bumper stickers do you have on your vehicle?". I only had one.


"DON'T BE A VICTIM,
Buy A Gun"

I didn't get picked for the jury.

Oh, and by the way. He had his date with the executioner.

The Wire had a correction, saying they're starting on the 17th.  My DISH PVR confirms: 4 1/2 hour shows starting at 9am EDT.

I watched a few of the episodes posted. They were amusing, partly informative and partly BS. Still they were worth an hour if nothing else is on. (I particularrly like the guy who gets wounded and has to carried in all three of the episodes I watched. "Dude, can I be the heroic one who gets the girl this time"? "No, lay there and bleed. If you want a line you can cry like a little girl". ). Overall the advice seems so so. The Hurricane episode was about 70% BS in this Florida boy's eyes. Don't swim 15 feet from the roof you are trapped on to grab a convient jon boat floating by because a gator will eat you? Yeah, he may also have the winning lotto ticket in his mouth. Your odds are about equal. Likewise making an improvised silencer for a captured AK so that someone who has never shot before can make a thirty yard uphill head shot on a terrorist across the food court. Still, while partially BS, there is some good advice, stuff most non ccw folks don't think about (like situational awareness, use of cover, speed, and violence of action). Overall, worth a watch, but nothing to write home about.

Ah.  That's a link to Surviving Disaster.  I thought you had a link to the 4 new shows (together called Don't be a Victim) that premiere next sat, July 17.

Found this one on the Ruger website tonight.  Looks like some fun watching time.

By the way, keep your eyes open and scanning this forum for why I was on the Ruger site
