To get the full impact of his response - you need to watch it.

9 minutes! I aint watching that... someone tell me what he said

you should watch it   


couple of things 

he thinks safety is an unobtainable myth  "True Safety dose not exist "   ( BS )

the other bit that pissed me off was his comment that firearms are "designed to kill people "   they are a Tool   no different to a knife or screwdriver.   

he talked about Tactical Responses Training theories  and how they work there

still I think it is very irresponsible imo   wonder what there public liability insurance company would think about that 

also how could this be legal on a registered Range  I know for a Fact the Police here ( who certify our range ) would shut us down in less than a hart beat if that was happen @ our range

This guys analogies are rediculous, this was a CYA video designed to put out a fire to a very damaging piece of evidence.

This incident should have never taken place!  If someone had gotten hurt or worse, killed because of this event, someone would or should go to jail for a very long time.

His name is burned into my memory and I'll ignore anything I may come across in the future.

His "philosophical" doublespeak has lost all credibility less than a minute in. His own 4th rule was broken. He can "spin it" any way he wants.

Bad Idea, Bad Move, PERIOD! The "true safety cannot exist", oh,.. so I'll just put a photographer in between two targets with people shooting bullets a couple of feet from my head.... is a lame argument.

I'm going to drive 100 mph to work tomorrow because I am not safe driving the speed limit.

People are safer BEHIND THE LINE!!!!!! Unless your in the circus getting knives thrown at you, with a cigarette in your mouth and balloons in your hand, DON'T DO STUPID S*** like be IN FRONT OF THE FIRING LINE...

Geez,......

I repeat my earlier comment:
What a maroon!

[Hazcat]

I couldn't get past 3 minutes of the jerk!

First - I will NEVER train with him or ANY organization he is associated with.

His "GASP" tells you all you need to know about this fool.

"Safety is unobtainable" As Phil said 'BS' and it SURE is if you don't try!

"Internet Commandos" I will admit to not knowing his background but I will tell you I would NOT trust him in a fire fight and I (like many here) have been there.  He's a blowhard!

The guy would make a good liberal apologist with his doublespeak and word parsing.

Bottom line - If you want to waste money and learn nothing go to his training facility.

I am interesting is Marshal, Rob and  Michael's thoughts on this


especially from a point of doing "TV Cool" video   showing training drills 


and his philosophical view on doing 360 deg training  v the 180  deg   angles


I can understand if they need a down range  "angle" to use a remote camera or set it up all ready rolling 

however the chances of stuffing up is too  Ricky   and there is no need to do something like that as there is no need


having not done any style of defense  training I don't know how it works

however what I do know and have been through from my training on the range  and what I will be going through soon to get my RO qualification that still has be shaking my head

I gave up on him when he said that "I only think I will rise to the occasion" when in a real fight without pointing a gun at someone in a controlled situation.  Remember that we don't carry because we hope to get in a fight.  We carry so we have the right tool if we need it.  We train and practice to #1 be so famililure with our weapon that pointing it and firing it is like pointing our finger and saying bang, # 2 we train so we can recognize danger before it is there and avoid pointing at and shooting.

I hope and pray that I never need to point at or shoot anyone.  With that in mind I will train to protect myself, but I will not endanger someone just so I think I know that I can shoot with someone in front of me.

By the way, with his mind set does he train and practice edged weapons with real (sharp) knives.  Sure wouldn't want to be in that class.
