0302 – Training and Practice Dangers We Ignore

May 29, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

When it’s training time there are certain risks that immediately come to mind. I don’t even think about live fire without a good back stop, eyes and ears. When its time to go hands on, I always wear my mouth guard and depending on the level of the folks I’m working with and the planned activities, we gear up from there. In my experience there are issues that we come across in training that are obvious safety issues and then there are the more subtle issues that need to be dealt with. Today we are going to focus on the subtle side and talk about the training and practice dangers we ignore.

0300 – Safety as a Concept In Training and in Life

May 23, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Sometimes it seems like we live in a world of rules. Often times these rules are in lists that are so long and complicated that they are impossible to “know” and even more difficult to follow and enforce. The barrage of rules can be so overwhelming that at times, by some, the rules are simply ignored. This obviously leads to the exact opposite effect that the rules themselves were intended to cause. Today we are going to take a look at safety in training and how we can apply those principles to life.

0285 – Three Important Lessons to Take From Sanford, FL

March 27, 2012 by PaulCarlson 6 Comments

There has been a lot of talk in the past week or so about self-defense and the law. I’m sure that many of you are aware of the situation in Florida where Martin was killed by a C.O.P. named Zimmerman. You know that this is not a current events show, however, there are times when current events need to motivate us to learn more about a set of circumstances. In this case we need to understand the legal burdens that are upon us when we realize that our lives are worth defending.

0277 – First Shots with the Caracal F 9mm

February 29, 2012 by PaulCarlson 2 Comments

So, I’m on vacation. We got in early in morning and as soon as I woke up I headed to the range to run a couple hundred rounds through my new pistol at a local indoor range. My intent was just to get to know the pistol a little bit. Holding it and pointing it can only tell you so much. Guns are meant to be shot and so I took my new Caracal F to the range to play. I wasn’t looking to accomplish anything other than get to know this pistol a little bit better and formulate some sort of a plan for how will proceed with the testing and evaluation. What I had, was a bunch of fun!

0262 – An Interview with Rob Pincus of ICE Training et al

January 26, 2012 by PaulCarlson 2 Comments

At the request of some listeners we are going to step out of chronological order and bring to you the last interview I conducted in Vegas at SHOT Show 2012. I have at least 5 interviews still to come, and probably more than that as there were folks we wanted to catch up to but simply couldn’t make schedules work. So don’t worry, there is plenty more content still to come from SHOT Show.

Today we are going to speak with one of the modern defining forces in defensive shooting instruction. Rob Pincus of ICE Training has a pretty busy schedule and we appreciate him taking the time to sit down and chat.
