I saw this today and took heart. We are exposed to so many young people being spinless, I am strongly encouraged to see some character in a high school student. Warriors protect others at risk (hopefully controlled) to themselves. —————————— http://www.clarionledger.com/a…cle?AID=200990901028 September 1, 2009 Yazoo High athlete a hero, sheriff says By Chris Joynerchris.joyner@jackson.gannett.com Law [...]

Techniques vs. Tactics
September 4th, 2009
admin Several students asked me this week “what is the difference between a technique and a tactic?”. Techniques are specific skills (front sight focus, trigger press, shooting on the move, pivots, moving as a team, etc). Tactics is a term used to describe the combination of skills applied to a given set of circumstances. What separates [...]

admin COMPETITION SHOOTING IS GOOD
March 27th, 2009
admin Given the current ammo situation, I have been hearing more than the usual banter about the value of practical firearms competitions for personal defense training. Bottom line up front: any shooting and dry practice time, no matter the motivation, serves to improve your skills. Having said this, make sure you do not completely replace training [...]

admin PLANNING TO MAKE IT HOME
March 3rd, 2009
admin Jason Drader, Managing DirectorLMS Defense Canada There are countless magazine articles and internet forums filled with all kinds of discussion on “bugging out” or SHTF scenarios. Few of these articles or discussions focus on making it home during or post-crisis, let alone how to sustain ones self or family during the trek home. If you [...]
Rifle support gear
March 2nd, 2009
admin Kevin Williams, LMS Defense Instructor Load carrying gear is a matter of personal preference and should be based on the expected mission parameters and needs. There are numerous options available, but many times people buy and use what they see on the internet or in the latest gun magazine. One popular piece of equipment is [...]
LMS DEFENSE TARGETS
February 18th, 2009
admin Some time ago, we decided to design our own set of targets to fulfill our requirements. It wasn’t that we didn’t think anyone else’s targets were good, it was just that we couldn’t find any that were realistic enough or which provided odd-angle views of threats which incorporated realistic target zones. In our own training, [...]
VISUALIZATION AS A TRAINING TOOL
February 16th, 2009
admin Bill Toy, Instructor So, money is tight, gun prices and ammo are skyrocketing, and most of us are finding it difficult to find the time and resources to head to the range for training. How can we keep our edge and hopefully improve our capabilities in today’s state of the nation? Chappy and Jeremy have [...]

admin EVER FORGET TO DO SOMETHING?
February 6th, 2009
admin Back in the day (late 90′s), I was turned on to a simple way to drastically improve my shooting: video feedback. I know this is probably not the first time you’ve heard of making a video of your training for review and correction later, but reading some old AAR’s of some of Paul Howe’s classes [...]
What’s in your pockets?
January 27th, 2009
admin If you’re like most of us, you have some sort of emergency trauma kit somewhere in your shooting gear. It makes the trip to all your range sessions, competitions, and any classes you take to become a more skilled shooter. You probably also have a small pile of gear you stuff in your pockets each [...]
Traffic Stops and the Legally Armed Citizen
January 23rd, 2009
admin Jeff Hogan, LMS Defense Law Enforcement Program Manager This topic frequently comes up in conversation. Sometimes, it brings hostility from those that don’t like law enforcement for whatever reason, and some just want to know how to handle it. We wont get into a political debate on this issue. Instead, I will just give some [...]
JUST RELOAD
January 19th, 2009
admin I have been hearing a lot of chatter about what type of reloads guys should practice. Here is my take on this. When you press the trigger and nothing happens, TAP RACK BANG. If your weapon is empty, you will realize it, usually in the TAP phase. Dump that magazine while your support hand fetches [...]
GET A TRAINING PARTNER
January 17th, 2009
admin Training every day, or every week, is tough, but anything worth having is hard to earn. One way to help prop up your self discipline is with a training partner. A training partner, just like a workout partner, is a good idea for many reasons. First, training partners serve to motivate each other. Even if [...]
