5 Oct 24 These comments from a seasoned neurologist, and good friend: “A high-velocity projectile passing through the heart will cause an enormous (but brief) wave of over-pressure, instantly increasing blood-pressure in the brain and spinal cord to well above tissue-damaging levels. Neither the brain, nor the spinal cord, can tolerate such high pressure! The […]
Hunting with a Handgun!
4 Oct 24 “But always there is present this feeling of unexplained relations of events” Charles Fort Handgun Hunting! For the first time in my life, I went big-game handgun hunting yesterday!

“Borders”
29 Sept 24 “In order to be correctly called ‘sovereign,’ a nation has to be able to control its own borders.” Tom Tancredo Sanguinary consequences of uncontrolled immigration are seen all around the world!

Ammunition!
19 Sept 24 Ammunition This, from friends in the ammunition-manufacturing business: “Right now, most components are reasonably available, but that will begin to change soon!

“Operation Pager”
18 Sept 24 “Never do your enemy a ‘minor injury’” Niccolo Machiavelli With yesterday’s “Operation Pager” (what I call it), Israel is actively “terrifying the terrorists!” Israel’s intelligence capability and “asymmetrical cyber-warfare,” executed with amazing precision and potency, is well beyond the capability of most other nations, including ours! The fact that Israel informed nobody […]
NYC
17 Sept 24 Life in NYC! With major crime in NYC up more than thirty percent since 2020, and while the mayor and much of the city’s political hierarchy are under federal investigation for corruption (the chief of police just resigned), it was recently announced that the average time for police response to major-crime 911 […]
Perfect Conditions!
11 Sept 24 Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it! Salvador Dali Gloves negatively affect our dexterity with guns. No doubt!

Ethnic Gangs!
3 Sept 24 Ethnic, Illegal-Alien Gangs: In response to a ridiculous op-ed piece in the Denver Post, which argues that the Venezuelan gang who is currently terrorizing Aurora, CO is “not a problem,” since it would be “ethnic profiling” to identify them as being a problem, an attorney friend wrote this in response: “It is […]
“Affirmation without discipline”
28 Aug 24 “Catch-and-Release,” at the expense of public safety (about which no one seems to care): On Sunday evening, a woman waiting for her flight at EWR (Newark, NJ Airport) was precipitously attacked and stabbed in her face. I’ve stood at that exact spot at EWR, many times! She was subsequently treated at a […]
Out of Control!
26 Aug 24 “While I am a convinced pacifist, there are circumstances in which I believe the use of force is appropriate, namely in the face of an enemy unconditionally bent on destroying me and my people” Albert Einstein Germany (and most of the rest of Western Europe, including the UK) has the same problem […]

Follow-up
21 Aug 24 Vehicle Defense Follow-up From my Vehicle Defense Quip of earlier today, I’ve received a flood of inquiries with regard to where one can get a suitable shoulder-holster and/or a sling-bag As you know, I don’t “endorse” products, as I have no financial relationship with any of the following companies. However, I do […]
Motion!
21 Aug 24 Vehicles in motion, and not in motion! In our DTI Vehicle Defense Courses, I heavily emphasize: Safety is in Motion!

The “Master Plan”
20 Aug 24 You Americans are so gullible. You won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism, until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you! Nikita Khrushchev As we listen to speakers at the DNC, it becomes obvious that we’re living […]
Drones!

It resembles my own, except that you’re insane.” George Orwell, from “1984″ Unanticipated Threats: We spend much time, when engaged in live-fire training for “serious purposes,” shooting at life-sized paper targets that are designed to look like real people.

11 Aug 24 “It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words” George Orwell, from “1984″ Election-season lexicon: During this election season, it’s important that we get our terms straight. Examples: 1) “Racism” is good, so long as it’s “the right racism” 2) “Assault weapons” are good, so long as only “the ruling elite” have them […]
FlexCCarry
9 Aug 24 FlexCCarry! We here at DTI, Vicki in particular, have launched a new Web Page: flexccarrysolutions.com And, I expect some controversy!

6 Aug 24 “When you think adventure is dangerous, try routine. It’s lethal!” Paulo Coelho Today, a 65-year-old female career Walmart employee was precipitously attacked and stabbed to death inside her own well-lighted store, at 7:00am, in Lake Elsinore, CA.
