On your own!
30 Aug 25 “Murderers are not monsters; they’re men, and that’s the most frightening thing about them” Alice Sebold What to Expect: On 28 Aug 25, a MA man who had just dropped-off his son at a local school was precipitously attacked and murdered by a gun-wielding VCA (who was well-known to local police). The […]
Willful Blindness!
28 Aug 25 Begging the Question! Nearly all “gun accidents” do not involve some “mechanical failure” on the part of the gun itself. I’ve been involved in the investigation of many such “accidents!” The gun itself, in virtually all these cases, functioned normally and as designed. In rare cases, there have been “defective guns,” defectively […]
Industry Update!
26 Aug 25 “Who never doubted, never half-believed. Where doubt, there truth is- ’tis her shadow.” Philip J Bailey, English poet I just got off the phone with Pete Pi at Defiant Ammunition. Pistol ammunition sales, particularly for “serious” carry-loads, are very slow right now, throughout the industry! I can personally testify that training/consulting is […]
Likely Outcomes!
25 Aug 25 “I recommend shooting attackers in the head. I’ve seen too many people put-up a strenuous fight in the ER, long after being shot in the chest!” Trauma Nurse (and one of my students) Most of the chest-wounds seen by my nurse/student were, of course, from handgun bullets, and her observations are not […]
Violence!
20 Aug 25 As in all civilizations, we have violent criminals here. A consuming interest as to “why” some commit violent, evil acts has become a profitable business for certain groups. Who profit from criminal violence include: 1) “True crime” podcasters and commentators, who cater to an element of our society who love the ghoulishness and […]
No Protection!
13 Aug 25 “The System” will never protect you! “‘Cogito, ergo armatum sum:’ I think, therefore I am armed.” On Monday, a man with a lengthy, weary history of violent crime, drug use, and DUI offences, who should have been in prison, wantonly murdered three innocent, unarmed people in the parking lot of an Austin, […]
Dangerous Places!
8 Aug 25 “Leftists promote the dishonorable doctrine that all behaviors, no matter how perverted or reprehensible, are just ‘alternative life-styles’ that the rest of us are obligated to accept and never presume to criticize” Moore The vicious, unprovoked gang-attack of a couple in Cincinnati, OH early in the morning of 26 July 25 would […]
Our “Unarmed Forces!”
6 Aug 25 Here we go again! This latest DOD “active shooter incident” happened at Fort Stewart, GA today. Five innocent troopers wounded by criminal gunfire. It doubtless would have been much worse had not the single armed perpetrator been heroically tackled by other (all unarmed) troopers nearby. We again ask, “Why are not all […]
Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical 12ga Autoloading Shotgun
3 Aug 25 Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical 12ga Autoloading Shotgun Here at DTI we’ve conducted many Defensive Shotgun Courses over the past half century! Years ago, the most common shotguns we would see were the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 590, both pump-guns, and both very satisfactory for our purposes. But now, most students bring […]
