1 Oct 25 Shooting to wound? From a friend in Israel (yesterday): “Happened a few hours ago, on my road into Jerusalem. An IDF reservist stopped his car when he witnessed an individual terrorist attack two Israeli teenagers (pedestrians) with a knife. The reservist quickly exited his car, drew his concealed pistol, held it in […]

29 Sept 25 More anti-Christian/anti-Western Civilization violence: An LDS church in Grand Blanc, MI was attacked yesterday. The single perpetrator drove his vehicle nearly all the way into the church building.  Photos show it jammed halfway through the entry. He then exited the vehicle and began shooting at parishioners who were there for normal Sunday […]

24 Sept 25 Snipers here; snipers there! At an ICE facility in Dallas, TX this morning, a single murderer on a nearby rooftop across the street, fired a rifle into an ICE van.  At least one additional shot was fired at the ICE building itself.  Range was less than 50m The only casualties were the […]

19 Sept 25 “They mostly come at night” Rebecca “Newt” Jorden (played by Carrie Henn) in the 1986 feature film, “Aliens II,” staring Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn An adult black bear wandered into a Dollar General store in Vernon, NJ yesterday and promptly bit a woman.  She had to be evacuated and hospitalized. The […]

16 Sept 25 “We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us” Vladimir Lenin “Communization” of the Democrat Party In the wake of the public murder of Charlie Kirk on 10 Sept 25 in UT, we have witnessed a  spontaneous celebration by […]

16 Sept 25 Guns and Warriors, Vol II Some have informed me that they don’t like doing business with Amazon. As an alternative: bit.ly/QuipsVol2 This link allows you to purchase Quips Vol 2 for $24.95 directly from a distributor, instead of through Amazon. /John

10 Sept 25 This is so typical of Democrat politicians: Charlotte, NC’s Democrat mayor, in the wake of the brutal, unprovoked stabbing murder of a woman on the city’s commuter rail system on 22 Aug 25, just gushed with sympathy for the perpetrator, adding that, “We will never arrest our way out of issues such […]

9 Sept 25 “Laziness and cowardice are the reasons so great a portion of mankind remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their ‘guardians’ It is so easy remain a child” Kant Yesterday at a bus-stop in Jerusalem, without warning two Palestinian terrorists shot into […]

8 Sept 25   1)  Many have asked for a DTI “Teaching Women to Shoot” Instructor Development Course, and we now have this very Course scheduled for:   21-22 Feb 26 (Sat-Sun) at the Thorp Creek Firearms Training Center in Hollister, MO (just south of Branson, MO)   Vicki Farnam is the Head Instructor   […]

4 Sept 25 “Whiners are losers, and without fail, frightful bores” Zig Ziglar A group of pseudo-sanctimonious federal judges (appointed by BHO and JRB), who are smugly ignoring the law and our Constitution and misusing their political power to cynically sabotage DJT’s political agenda, are now bitterly complaining (after being repeatedly dismissed/overruled by our Supreme […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

31 July 25 “Reality is never ‘on-vacation,’ just because we are!” Carr Hiking in State/Federal Parks: Local police today made an arrest of the suspected murderer of a two parents who were hiking with their children (ages seven and nine) in a “remote area” of AR’s Devil’s Den State Park last weekend. The couple’s two […]
