This report is directed to anyone who volunteers, or is paid, to protect a faith-based organization; but it could easily apply to anyone who is part of an organization tasked with protection. When you train and are certified as a cyber security operator, I would argue that if you don’t study your craft a minimum […]

Report 56, Your First Gun
Most of my students take the Basic Pistol course so that they can apply for their Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP). Obviously, I have no problem with that. I tell all of my basic students, “If you don’t currently own a handgun, do not go our and buy one before coming to class.” The reason I […]
Report 55, Taxes
Well, how did you make it through tax-day? I’m sure you are just as thrilled as me how our tax dollars are being used. I’ll just hit some of the highlights. Afghanistan: $1.4B Burma (Myanmar, a repressive dictatorship): $208M Congo (Brazzaville, a repressive dictatorship): $10M Congo (Kinshasa, a repressive dictatorship): $907M Cuba (a repressive dictatorship): […]
Report 54: Why Do We Support the UN?
On Christmas Eve, the Jewish Press reported that Israel will no longer be issuing visas to UN workers. They are even expelling an employee of the UN Women agency already in Israel and denying a visa to Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths. Why is Israel taking this step? It is because of the UN’s […]
Report 53: The Malaise of America
Over the past three years I have watched my beloved country, the United States of America sink from a high level of national prosperity and world-wide respect to the laughing stock of the modern world. The primary reason for this degradation can be boiled down to one culprit, the American politician. When I look at […]
Report 52: Repressive Colorado Gun Laws

Three more states are rapidly moving forward to joining this list, Florida, Nebraska, and South Carolina. That will make 28 states who understand the value of […]
Report 52 More on Training
There was a very interesting article in the May/June issue of the Concealed Carry (USCCA) magazine. The article discussed the concept of a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) holder coming to the aid of a police officer in a fight for his/her life. Let’s review the Colorado “Self-Defense and Defense of Another” law. The law clearly […]
Report 51, Taxes
I’m not an economist but know enough to know what debt is. The feds are starting to talk about shelling out major tax credits as a stimulus to the economy. If they do this the $24T in debt will grow exponentially. Don’t misunderstand me. I hate all forms of taxes but understand that there are […]
Report 49: More About Training
Anyone who has followed my writings will remember that I spend a lot of time talking about training. Well, I’m a trainer, so, that would stand to reason. Just so you won’t be disappointed, I’ll talk about training this time too. Constitutional Carry has hit the nation in a big way, much to the chagrin […]
Report 48: Can You Stop A Shooter?
There has been a great deal of discussion, pro and con, about the Second Amendment over the past several months. Three mass shootings, that I can think of off the top of my head, has a lot of people talking about taking our guns away and a lot of people saying “come and get ‘em.” […]
