Med Class AAR
Really glad I spend the $ and time to go through the tactical med class today that was expertly delivered by Greg Ellifritz of Active Response Training. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. While I’m by no means a qualified medical professional, I know a lot more and at least have…

Holes
It will be light posting today since I am in an all day trauma medicine class. No, I don’t expect to be a world class Surgeon or even as good as a EMT with one day of training. But knowledge is power and I do expect to have a little more knoweldge at the end…

Since I am feeling generous this morning I’m going to give you, my 10 readers, a few free product ideas. I give these away without any license – but if you go off and make them I’d like a free one in exchange for the inspiration I provided you. First up, I’d like a personal…

Take a step towards liberty
Looking back on past blog posts, I realize that I never posted about getting my Kentucky Concealed Carry of a Deadly Weapon (CCDW) Instructor permit a few months back – all my updates where in the internet black hole known as Facebook. My original CCDW permit instructor, Joe Kalil, contacted me and asked if I’d…
