    I just cant watch the video.... Its the big fake gun pointed at me... I just cant handle it.... LOLOLOL

    No, seriously... Good video, and good point. Even though some people are probably tactical junkies, thats not a bad thing. Just because you attack steel plates doesnt mean your gonna go attack a human for no reason.

    What it does mean is, your the guy I want in the building, during the next school shooting.

    Mr Yeager makes good sense.

    But I was distracted by the following, which occurred in the first 30 seconds of his talk.
    stroke right upper arm.
    right shoulder twitch
    tug on INGO shirt
    shift side to side
    tug INGO shirt
    rub hands together
    stroke beard
    right shoulder roll
    tug INGO shirt
    rub hands together
    large amplitude side to side shift
    wipe mustache
    stroke beard
    tug INGO shirt (hard)
    come forward on balls of feet
    right shoulder roll
    side to side shift

    My conclusions.... the INGO shirt tug was a message to us.
    James is either on a drug or needs to be.
    (Man I hope I never meet this guy in person - I'm due a shoving at least).

    I just can't watch the guy.

    Anyway, people who get training are already a statistical bias. On the whole, they're already more likely to be in situations where they might have to defend themselves. In other words, they get training because they are more likely to use it. Let's face it: we gun owners are motivated by fear, and sometimes listening to what that fear has to say is wise, though going overboard is not.

    This is kind of like saying people who have guns are more likely to shoot somebody than people who don't have guns.

    Well I don't know if you will be more or less likely to shoot at someone, but you WILL be more likely to hit them.

    LOL! A lot of truth there. On a more serious side, I haven't found CCW/LTCH licensees to be hampered with the "Every problem looks like a nail" syndrome.

    Is it bad that James Yeager is making sense to me lately?

    Ya, I know. Scary, actually... But, I do find myself liking Yeager more now than in the past. A lot of his posts in the past were pretty polarizing, splitting a group into opposing sides instead of trying to bring a group together. When he's calmed down a bit, he can make good points in a well put manner but when he's wired up about something, he loses sight of any other viewpoint. I did like the bugout walk series he did a while back.
