DTI

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 […]

30 July 25 Everyday threats to our continued good health! It is clear that the mass stabbing incident at the MI Walmart on Saturday was not the result of a foreign terrorist plot, nor a plot carried-out by radical Islamists, nor for that matter a plot by malicious domestic political ideologues. Rather, it was whimsically […]

28 July 25 Criminals Protecting Criminals! In the aftermath of yesterday’s mass stabbing incident in MI, the local sheriff appeared in person in a timely manner to address the public. MI’s Democrat governor did not! She did decry (while safely behind her army of heavily-armed bodyguards) this “brutal act” and then went-on to praise first-responders. […]

25 July 25 Never give-in to adversity. Never trust prosperity. And, never fail to take full note of fortune’s irritating habit of doing exactly as she pleases! “Positive Suspicion” Who view life through a lens of positive suspicion, levelheaded skepticism, and who are ever infected with a “healthy restlessness,” are routinely denigrated as “paranoid” and […]

22 July 25 Ammunition in Israel, from friends there: “A licensed Israeli pistol-owner is currently allowed to possess no more than fifty rounds of ammunition in his home.  To the pistol license itself is appended a ‘permit,’ allowing for the purchase of a single box (fifty rounds) of ammunition. In addition to the purchase-price of […]

21 July 25 Update, from friends in Israel: “My daughter, an IDF veteran, carried an FN/FNS (9mm, now out-of production, replaced by the FN 509 Series) for several years. She has since switched to a Beretta Bobcat (22/rimfire), which she prefers for concealed carry, due to its small size and light weight** Under our ‘Old […]

16 July 25 What is “911?” During the recent tragic TX flooding, a man punched-out a window in an effort to escape from an unstable trailer. In the process he cut his arm, badly. Over the next few minutes, he bled to death, although he was continuously surrounded by family members! Of course, family members immediately […]

14 July 25 “We must fight vigorously any attempt to force us to rely solely upon a government for our personal safety, a government who can’t even balance its own checkbook!” J Kohler The role of “Armed Civilian Citizens” in national defense: To the everlasting discredit of Israel’s (current) Netanyahu Administration, the entire nation of […]

11 July 25 “You’ve got to know when it’s time to turn the page.” Tori Amos Yesterday, two Palestinian terrorists arrived, via a stolen car, at the Rami Levi supermarket in Gush Etzion, Israel. The two precipitously attacked a uniformed security guard, stabbing him to death.  They then took the security guard’s pistol and proceeded […]

9 July 25 Armed attacks on Federal Officers, becoming the “norm?” Overshadowed by the tragic flooding in TX, there was an well-funded, violent attack, a “planned ambush,” by at least ten heavily-armed leftist terrorists on Federal Officers at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, TX on Friday, 4 July 25.  At least one officer was […]

8 July 25 Trending! This just-in from friends in Norway: “Following pressure from police unions and conservative groups, the Norwegian Parliament has finally decided that our police get to be personally armed, all the time. Most political parties here are to the left of your Democrats, but hunting and national defense have always been important […]

6 July 25 This is the sort of thing that the “Just call 911, then relax” Crowd won’t confront, nor even admit is happening here and now. Foreign VCA’s (South American and African gang-members, in this country illegally) are currently using WiFi jamming devices as they proceed to commit violent crimes, so that victims can’t reach police, nor […]

3 July 25 “In one-hundred years, we’ve gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school, to teaching ‘Remedial English’ in college” Joe Sobran Last weekend in PA, my Instructors and I taught a Defensive Urban Rifle Course. Our students brought a variety of military rifles, mostly M4s with RDOs, but we had one FAL, […]

27 June 25 This morning’s update from friends in Israel: “After ten days of sleepless nights laying on the couch downstairs, and three daily rushes to our bomb shelter (one around 19:30, another around 00:30 and another around 03:30), I have slept soundly in my bed upstairs for the last two nights. Amen! My appetite […]

25 June 25 The massacre that never happened! On Sunday last, a single VCA drove into a church parking-lot in Wayne, MI (a Detroit suburb), exited his vehicle, and (with some kind of long gun) immediately fired several mostly unaimed shots into the church building.  Those shots struck the building but caused property-damage only. Witnessing […]

22 June 25 Yesterday’s strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure: Details are still far from complete, but it is safe to say that America’s amazing precision strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was, by any standard, a spectacular success! No losses on our side. Clearly, the ball is now in Iran’s court, and their “response,” assuming there […]

21 June 25 “Anarcho-tyranny” When violent criminal gangs (masquerading as “community organizers”) are “legitimized,” even sanctioned, by leftist/Marxist politicians: Last weekend in Salt Lake City, a “mostly peaceful (anti-American) protest,” orchestrated by the violent Marxist 50501 criminal gang and itself consisting of a high percentage of illegal aliens, witnessed a fatal shooting.  This shooting was […]

18 June 25 Life during “The Blitz” Update from friends in Israel: “Five nights without rest! We intermittently ‘sleep’ in chairs in front of our TV, which is never turned-off. We are all suffering from sleep-deprivation. Everyone is irritable, fatigued. I sit by our door.  I open it for residents, but I’m on-guard for ‘intruders.’ […]

16 June 25 Remembrance of “The London Blitz,” 1940-1941 This just in from friends in Israel: “We have a revised warning system now that sends alerts via our Smart Phones. Our IDF can ‘see’ incoming missiles even as they’re being launched, and they know exactly how long it takes for them to arrive here! The […]
