The closest I could find cost $3000. I went to the Ignatius Piazza web site referenced above and did not see any free firearms training. The closest I could find cost $3000.

]]> Comment on Why I Write About Armed Self Defense (as opposed to unarmed self defense) by LT Gary M. Smith http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2010/09/01/why-i-write-about-armed-self-defense-as-opposed-to-unarmed-self-defense/comment-page-1/#comment-9871 LT Gary M. Smith Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:55:45 +0000 http://www.learnaboutguns.com/?p=4790#comment-9871 You might add of the futility of unarmed self defense. The average citizen faced with having to engage in unarmed self defense would be better served with running away. I work in a prison and when inmates fight it is quick and savage. They know that to win and suffer the least amount of injury they have to inflict brutal debilitating injury to the other party or parties. They have to experience pain and know how to work through it to keep going. The best self defense courses, including martial arts, don't teach how to work through pain nor do they teach you to inflict brutal debilitating injury. To be effective, any person being taught self defense has to engage in fighting such as boxing or mixed martial arts to gain the experience necessary to successfully engage in unarmed self defense. Japanese samurai in training used wooden versions of their weapons in full contact, no holds barred training combat so that they would know how to react, how to counter and overcome and, more importantly, know what pain felt like and to work through it. This is why at the slightest hint of inmate violence corrections officers call for backup and our self defense is geared toward creating distance so that we can employ our weapons (gas, baton, Taser or guns) or get backup to the scene. Another point is that negotiation is best left to the United Nations. Unless you are facing a young kid who has never committed any type of crime, the chances of talking the bad guy out of victimizing you are slim. You might add of the futility of unarmed self defense.

He even spoke threateningly, while holding an SKS, to a reporter who dared question him. This guy is a lunatic. I do feel like I have to put in a word about the .357 mag. Ballistically it is at least equal to or superior to the .45 acp. The lesser .38 special, which can be fired from the same gun, is the inferior cartridge. Thanks again for the good reading!

I and my wife both carry a NAA arms mag and a Judge ultra lite public defender loaded with PDX1. We have both been shot and our main concern for taking a life is not moral factors but the penalties, cost and hassle factors that come into play.

If your life is in danger recoil is of no consequence. If the hormones are flowing and the fear has kicked in enough to contemplate taking a life I seriously doubt that recoil will even be noticed. I am talking about normal hand guns. The only important issue is do you have a gun and know how to pull the trigger. The other issue about the flash bang is that both parties suffer. The party on the receiving end may be the most disorientated because he also has to duck and he also knows that there are going to be a lot more flashes that will have to be viewed.
