Brownells Releases Personal Protection Catalog

April 11, 2013 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Today, Brownells – released its new Personal Protection & Home Defense Catalog #1.

Those who have spent time here at Safety Solutions Academy know that I am fond of Brownells and the commitment they have shown to their customers and our constitution. At SHOT Show this past year, I had the opportunity to have lunch with Pete Brownell and a group of media members to discuss the Second Amendment. In addition, Matt DeVito and I shot this video with Mr. Brownell.

If you are making firearm parts and accessory orders, or looking for personal protection tools, shop Brownells and support a company that supports your 2A Rights.

0297 – AAR on ICE Training Extreme Close Quarters Tactics Course

Right now I am hanging out in the lobby of my hotel working on processing and recovering from day 1 of the ICE Training Extreme Close Quarters Tactics Course. Today was a good day. I made it through without major issues although a solid inventory of the day and my skill level leaves me wishing for another month to prepare and another crack at the course. At the same time, I know that my skill level has increased substantially in the past 24 hours. Baby steps…

0263 – An Interview with Doug Dirren of TASER International

January 27, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

TASER is the biggest name in the ECD market and for good reason. TASER EDC’s tend to generate either love or hate from those that get involved with them. The love comes from the end user. The cop or civilian that is able to use the TASER to save their own life and maybe the life of the dirt bag they tase. The hate, well it comes from the scum in the dark alley with the red dot on his chest who knows he is about to go for a ride. You see, most people are one one end of the spectrum or the other regarding ECD’s with very few in between. That polarity of the extremes exists for a simple reason. TASERs work. Whether you are a LEO or a responsible citizen, there is a TASER ECD fro you and a place for that TASER in your self-defense plan.
