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 love Steve Lee love songs…

I like guns was the first song I have heard from Steve Lee and the Lees, it is also still my favorite.

Not only do I love the song “I like Guns” but my boy does too.  I have a video of him dancing to this song and acting like a wild man.

He actually asks for the song.  He dances, but he also like holding his toy and acting like he was shooting as they did on the video.

I like them, My boy like them, and we both like Steve Lee’s song I Like Guns.

I hope you enjoy the video, both official music video as well as my son’s tribute video to the song.

If you don’t like firearms that’s okay, no judgements, but really they are tools so I don’t understand the hate.  Especially when you look at the root and realize that most gun guys don’t love guns, they love what they stand for and what they protect.  At least that is where I come from.  I like guns, but I love that I can use them to protect my family, my country, and my way of life.

If you are going to carry a firearm you need to understand the judicious use of force.  If this term in new to you please watch the video.  This is the topic I teach the most.  It is essential to understand reasonableness when discussing the appropriate use of force.

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.

What I like most about Ayoob’s work is when he discusses the legalities of force.  The use of deadly force for self defense is an extremely serious subject with extreme consequences for being wrong.

What is important is a person’s judicious use of force.  Using the appropriate type and level of force at the right time is vital to both survival as well as ensuring continued freedom.

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.
