      My neck knife: looking for a different chain.

      Unfortunately the same could be said for necklaces, neck ties, jackets, shirts and anything else that fits snugly around the neck. It comes down to caution and common sense. If doing something that could result in snagging of the rope it only makes sense to remove it. This is why most machinists...

      Refuse to Be a Victim- Lawrence County Sheriff's Dept

      I am a certified RTBAV instructor. The lessons are well laid out but I have to say that this program is one of the most dry presentations that I offer. Unfortunately it's 100% powerpoint-based and as an instructor I am required to adhere to the lesson plan as provided. That said, if you don't...

      My neck knife: looking for a different chain.

      I carry / wear neck knives frequently. I recommend simple para-cord without any bells and whistles. Chains, depending on the type tend to make noise and can become uncomfortable at times. The whole "you might get strangled with your own cord" thing is moot if you have some basic unarmed and...

      Defensive Knife Class - Indianapolis, June 28th

      I haven't had a chance to review all of the responses to this post but just to address a few- Obviously, if given a choice between a knife and a firearm, the knife would not be the optimal choice. However, that doesn't mean that a knife is not an optimal choice for a lethal force threat under...

      BB guns in Bloomington

      Most of the airsoft and BB guns that I have trained with, even the inexpensive models have been fairly accurate up to 15 yards. Their trigger issues have been minimal unless the assumption is made that their trigger press will be comparable to a person's carry gun. That said, the trigger press...

      BB guns in Bloomington

      SIRT and LASR are great training aids as well but can be cost prohibitive for some. $400 for a SIRT and $120 for LASR compared to $40 for a solid but inexpensive BB / airsoft gun and around $20 for canister of BB's. If someone has the funds I definitely recommend the use of both along with their...

      Signing up for classes

      You are speaking from the perspective of a host that pre-pays the instructor. That is fine as long as the host pre-pays the instructor the agreed upon amount within the agreed upon time-frame. Under those circumstances it is on the host to rally enough people and if he doesn't then the course...
