***** Pedagogy *****


***** Education *****

"Into the Fray" (Concealed Carry magazine)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6y6q-eOja8&list=PL8BXy_a3iBjhK_mh-EmciEZUIprBtfF1j
     A series of helpful videos.

     Cool web site for firearms manuals.

How a firearm works - Animation (1911 semi-auto handgun)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJMXXuGhINE
     Technically correct, except for his statement about
equal force.  Momentum is conserved, force is not.
The forward and backward forces are not equal.

Guns & Ammo

     Slow motion video at 00:38 to 00:49 / 02:43
clearly demonstrating why we use the Weaver grip
instead of the isosceles grip.  You just can't
pull with the support side hand when your support
side arm is locked out straight.  And you have to
pull with the support side hand to mitigate muzzle
flip.  The muzzle flips because the force vector
is above the wrist joints.  So, there is a torque
about the wrist joints.  Reducing muzzle flip
allows you to get subsequent shots on target faster.

***** Tactics *****

"Reload an AK with One Hand"

You have to download and play the file.

FBI training video

The demonstration of ricochet is invaluable.
     This makes me think I should teach classes
with only one student.
     This video shows how drastically techniques
have changed over the years.

***** Gear *****

"Hardware Issues and Concealed Carry – Part 1"
http://www.gundigest.com/concealed-carry-news/hardware-issues-concealed-carry-part-1
Excerpt:
"... the City of San Francisco, California,
at this writing has an ordnance which bans
hollow point bullets, and a State of New Jersey
law prohibits the handful of concealed carry
permit holders there from carrying hollow points ..."

What a great high resolution picture of a
hollow point bullet after expansion.

***** Instructors *****

     The 2nd Amendment enforces the God given right to
keep and bear arms, and by extension the right to
receive training in the use of those arms.  Criminal
gangs recognize their incompetence with firearms and
are actively seeking training.  Please be judicious
in who you accept as students.

devastating affect on morale.
