    According to Wikipedia Massad Ayoob is an internationally known firearms and self-defense instructor. He has taught police techniques and civilian self-defense to both law enforcement officers and private citizens since 1974.

    He was the director of the Lethal Force Institute (LFI) in Concord, New Hampshire from 1981 to 2009.  Ayoob now directs the Massad Ayoob Group (MAG).

    More than that bio Mr. Ayoob writes some of the best firearm books on the subject of the legal aftermath of a self defense shooting.  I widely quote his work in my classes,  and recommend his books courses and videos to my students.

    I have always taught that while knowing how to gunfight is vital if your going to carry a gun, you are MUCH more likely to have to deal with a policeman while going armed than getting in a gunfight with a criminal.

    I like how Ayoob approaches the subject as he gives tips when stopped by police when carrying a weapon.

    One thing I feel the State of Tennessee dropped the ball on when updating the Handgun Carry Permit was they took out scenario training videos like this one and replaced it with Troopers talking about drugs.

    Lets face it Armed Citizenry that apply for a state permit are not likely to smoke meth, but they should know how to act when confronted by police officers while carrying their weapons.

    These Tips When Stopped by Police is very good information and I hope you find it useful

    Shooting on the range against static targets is pretty easy – but we do it to gain skills that will help us survive when the targets shoot back and we have life on the line rather than bragging rights.

    Having a close range action plan is pretty important because it helps deal with everything going on when everything going on is rapidly changing, confusing, complex, and life altering.  Just know that what Tyson said about plans is true “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”

    Knowing how to deal with what comes in a shooting aftermath – especially if your the armed citizen that fired a handgun, I can think of no better instructor than Massad Ayoob.

    According to Wikipedia Massad Ayoob is an internationally known firearms and self-defense instructor. He has taught police techniques and civilian self-defense to both law enforcement officers and private citizens since 1974.

    I like to say I can teach anyone to shoot well, teaching the fundamentals of shooting is easy.  It is the teaching of when to shoot and how to shoot when people are shooting back is what is hard.  Special concern needs to be given to what happens AFTER a shooting.  Dealing with the shooting aftermath is pretty important in its own right.  After all you don’t want to go to jail for saving a life – not do you want to deal with grief, guilt or other emotional issues for it either.

    Continuing training is vital to continued skill.  If you want to carry a gun for self protection, you have to invest in good training and time spent keeping that training up to date.

    According to Wikipedia Massad Ayoob is an internationally known firearms and self-defense instructor. He has taught police techniques and civilian self-defense to both law enforcement officers and private citizens since 1974.

    He was the director of the Lethal Force Institute (LFI) in Concord, New Hampshire from 1981 to 2009.  Ayoob now directs the Massad Ayoob Group (MAG).

    Additionally, Mr. Ayoob writes some of the best firearm books on the subject of the legal aftermath of a self defense shooting.

    Furthermore, I widely quote his work in my classes,  and recommend his books courses and videos to my students.

    With many things I learn a skill, try it out, have fun with it, and then put it on the shelf until I need it.  The concept works well for basic skills that are rarely used and have low consequence for failure.   In contrast, this does not work when failure is not an option.  With skills like the defensive use of a firearm continuing training is vital.  Finally, shooting is a perishable skill, shooing for self defense is complicated and has extreme penalties for failure.

    I own his stressfire books, and am happy to share this clip of him explaining the stressfire reload for revolvers.

    What I like about the stressfire system is that it explains current training methods and shooting techniques, dissects them and then shows his techniques with explanations of why they solve current problems.  It advances current techniques rather than supplants them.

    An example of this, while I teach the FBI method of revolver reloading, the revolver can get hot after firing numerous rounds and that is uncomfortable.  In the stressfire reload for revolvers the way you hold the gun prevents burns.
