We provide defensive education, to avoid having to learn from experience.
There’s a lot of fail in this video.

GONE IN SECONDS - A man walks in, goes in line behind her, then spots the gun. He yanks it out and leaves.
This spoke volumes to me today
Another school year starts, with Hope as a primary Safety plan
The correct answer is:
E. All of the Above
It’s that time of year again!
Thank you everyone for coming out this weekend to TSF in Jackson for Defensive Pistol 1!
The investigation will probably show that this was more of a cry for help than a legitimate attack, but it still goes on to prove that every person, organization, and location must be prepared to protect themselves; rather than rely on response time.
Police say a teenager armed with a rifle was stopped from getting inside a church as dozens of children were making their First Communion.
I finally was able to get to a Rangemaster Instructor course this weekend, after several years of bad luck/timing. It was worth the wait. Tom Givens and Assistant Instructors Dr. Andy Anderson and Jeff Boren were simply fantastic. The facility and staff at Boondocks FTC were truly top of the line.
But most of all, I enjoyed getting to know the other students; who were great people and shooters to the last. I am very excited to consider them all friends. Considering their skills and professionalism, I am especially humbled to receive the class Top Shot Award.
One hurdle cleared on the path to arm teachers. Many more remain. This is what we can do next.
Yesterday, 4./23/2024, the Tennessee House passed HB1202/SB1325, which would allow a pathway for qualified teachers to be legally armed as a supplement to our SROs. However, many hurdles remain...
We just returned from a terrific weekend of training. A huge thanks goes out to the EWTN Security team for bringing us out to assist in training their officers how to respond to the Active Shooter Threat.
So the Tennessee State Legislature has passed a Bill to mandate yearly fi****ms education in schools, starting in 2025-26. It currently awaits Bill Lee's signature.
So my question is: What you include if you were to create the curriculum, and at what ages?
My initial thoughts are:
For Elementary Kids, Basically the Standard NRA Eddie Eagle program of "STOP! Dont Touch! Run Away! Tell an Adult"
For 5th-8th Graders, Review the above material, but also begin instilling the 4 Safety Rules.
For 9th and 10th Graders, Review the 4 Rules, and get hands on time with functional, yet inert trainers (think snap caps and firing pin removed), with an emphasis on safely unloading guns of various actions.
For 11th and 12th graders, the emphasis will change to an understanding of the rights, legal responsibilities, and requirements for possession, carry, and use of force law.
Members of the Tennessee Senate passed House Bill 2882 in a party-line vote of 24 to 3 on Thursday morning. It passed the House in February.
We have a great opportunity coming up this June!
Limited spaces available and a cap on 15 students guarantees lots of personalized instruction!
A Stop the Bleed class is included, free of charge!

Just took a great online course from The Complete Combatant called “Reactionary Zones.”
Instructor Shelley Hill does a great job of helping students conceptualize distances and how given distances impact our ability to react to threats.
It’s not your average “Gun” course, and so it may be a great introduction for people who aren’t yet willing to make the jump to fi****ms training, but still want to be better prepared against violent attack.

Every one should read this book to truly see how utterly and completely the victims were failed by the system; and how similar systems continue to do so.
Be prepared to have to put it down in frustration at the world.

There are many ways we can improve safety our schools, and some are great first steps to help open the eyes of others to the need. A great example of that is to bring Stop The Bleed into the classrooms.
AEDs are required by law in most public places, but traumatic injuries are the number 1 cause of death below 50, and very few have any plan to change that.
My district just took a positive step in this direction, by supplying 2 Stop the Bleed Training kits yesterday. I’m pumped!
Now it’s time to put them to use!
