Season 3: What Do You Want to See?

[swatpup102]

Sitting in the bitter cold for the past few weeks I thought of another topic that could be discussed. I would assume the vast majority of CCW holders have to keep their firearm in the vehicle while at work. A few topics come to mind here.

One would be a scenario where you are at work and something goes wrong, your pistol is in your car. How should you best react to this? Escape to your vehicle and get to your firearm, at which time you return to face the threat, or do you wait for the police while your friends and co-workers may be in immediate danger?

Another topic in this same situation would be the weather factor. How do modern firearms, especially ccw pistols, react to temperature extremes compared to the climate controlled indoor range, and how do you compensate for whatever these conditions may be in either hot or cold extremes? Do regular lubrications work for temperature extremes, and if not what works best for this? Are there certain items that would be great to have available to you if your gun in extremely hot or extremely cold to touch and hold, such as fingerless gloves?

I think it was discussed in an episode before but it would be worth going over in this same episode if one was dedicated to this subject matter. Keeping your pistol safe in your vehicle while it sits outside all day, and doing so in multiple types of vehicles. Using the idea of the "truck gun" and having a safe way to keep it in your vehicle while traveling or moving about locally, regionally, or nationally.

Thank you guys for all you do! I hope to hit up an I.C.E. training course sometime in the near future.

First off, I love the show, and am glad season 3 is coming out. The one thing I see people complain about on BD and BDS is the time, I know nothing can be done about that. But for BD  in the episodes you always show multiple ways of doing the scenario, maybe cut down on the number. Show the bad and the good, and be done.

Love the close courters info. Also could shave off some time on the intro.

Glad to see the show is back. Thanks to Mike, Rob, and Mike, and all of the rest of the crew that brings us good info. I hope the shows continue! Happy new year.

I would like to see more time dedictaed to the idea of fortifying the home and preparing for a Bug In Situation. 
And perhaps segments on improvised self defense weapons and tactics.

more of a How to See reply, but having Video On Demand content would be awesome.  I realize that is more in the hands of OC, but would be great to be able to access multiple shows at anytime withoug having to store them all on a DVR

Another entry to the wish list. How about an episode on survival communications, GRMS, CB, 2 meter Ham etc...

Thanks again guys for what you give us every week.

+1, too many people assume they will have cell phone coverage in an emergency.

My suggestion for season 3 is:  Learning skills our grandparents had.  These are things like canning, sewing, butchering, gardening/farming, etc stressing the importance of these simple tasks.  Take canning for instance you could show your viewers how to can in one of your segments.  This might be a bit gorier but how many of your viewers could butcher a deer and a chicken?  Learn how to harvest non hybrid seeds.  How to properly plant a garden and things you can do to keep rodents out.  You could easily make an entire season out of these type of skills 95% of us don't have.

Ways to defend yourself when pulling into your attached garage. I don't think anyone has covered that?

First I want to say I love this show!  It is the only show I really look forward to each week.  I love the homemade targets and Mr. Bane's CC tips at the end.  I only wish it was on all year round with no repeats.  

Ok enough with the love fest.  

Some ideas for season 4:
How to have a family meeting about what to do in given scenerios.  How to assign roles, how to talk to your children (without scaring the hell out of them) and their roles in different situations.  

I would like to see more on cover (like you did in Best Defense survival) and how different calibers affect cover.

I would love to see 1 hour episodes, 1 at the beginning of season 4 recapping season 3 and a 1 hour episode at the end of season 3 wrapping up all the best parts of season 3.  

Last, use real life cases that happened and what they could have done differently for their best defense.

OK, so here goes. Short time listener, First time caller. I have really just finally decided to get off my butt and get prepared for the future of things. What with the impending zombie apocalypse coming and what not. (*Joke*)

Some of the things I have liked from the show repeats and the newest shows I have seen are the CC ratings by Midway's Larry and Bane's thoughts on CC pistols. I thought the segment on the ability for different rounds penetration into walls and where they can go was fantastic. More on things like this would invaluable. I agree with the quoted text here as well, how do I ease my family into the fact that I am going to CC everyday and the readiness and preparations we all will need to do to handle a crisis. I don't want to create undo drama in the house and scare everyone or have them think I snapped and have gone insane conspiracy theory on them. I have had a conceal carry license since before I got married 14 years ago and even had children. I have always been an avid hunter and had guns in the house, truck and have trained with these. The difference is now I will be armed on my person and just not in my car or the house. Also more on bug out bags, bug in supplies and how to meet if something does go wrong and we are apart. For example the kids are at school or a friends house, the wife is at work, and I am Hunting. In South Dakota we could be spread out over 200 miles or more and cell reception is already spotty in a lot of areas as is, so communications and a sound plan is a must.  I realize this is somewhat of a specific scenario but I think it can be broken down and made generic enough to work for the show. Lastly the lawyer at the end is a great idea and would love to hear more examples of aftermath and rights according to the law and maybe some specific cases we can research and look up, BUT..... This guy has to go. I mean I feel like we are at the bar and have had several drinks and he decided to give some advice. I am sorry that me be harsh but he is so robotic and nervous he seems drunk. Just trying to be honest.


Thanks for the great work so far keep it up!

+1K on this post.

I would like to know or have a little more knowledge on Summer CCW. I currently have my CCW and a multitude of weapons to choose from. BUT when I am running or bike riding I feel like I am exposed. I have very limited choices on where I can conceal my weapons just by nature of the clothing. There has GOT to be some more options out there.

I would also like to keep my wife engaged in the program. She, as well, has her CCW and likes to see tactics that women do / can use. She continually tells me the the physical aspects of tactics are very different between the genders. The mental aspects are similar but not always. I will have to take her word for it.

I also REALLY like the training scenarios that were presented with the boxes and balloons. I like the ideas that I can take into the field and practice. I am not made of money so these ideas that are inexpensive and actually CHALLENGE me are right up my alley.

I truly enjoy the shows that you guys put on and would love to come by and watch you guys put it on. I am in your Area of Operation quite often. I want a Season 3, 4, 5, etc... Keep doing what you are doing, because you are doing a service to many that has been overlooked for too long.

JUST had an epiphany... Birds of a feather flock together... right? With that being said, Many if not most of my friends have their CCW's including my wife. I always see the single person being attacked or a single person reacting to the threat. In my situation there would be numerous people reacting to a threat. Hell I am in Wyoming where they just passed the CCW law that doesn't require a license. What happens where there are numerous people reacting to a threat?
