How does a defensive load come to market? With all the big players in the market how does a niche group get an ammo company to build them the ammo they want? Rob Garrett, Mark Fricke and I went through this process with Georgia Arms Ammunition on the Snub Nose Load. It was a fun process and the intended result was achieved. Special thanks to Curtis at GA Ammunition for trusting the revolver round-up fellas with their idea.

If you flew F-15's would the military ask you or expect you to buy a Cessna for flight hours? Ludicrous right! Then why do we expect police officers to perform their tasks with the minimum amount of training? Chuck Haggard was recently consulted as an expert witness in a case involving Law Enforcement training and standards or more accurately a lack there of. I believe if you are a gun toting citizen or an LE professional you need to train to become your own expert witness.

Doug Deaton is a retired LEO and the proprietor of RDR Texas a Private Investigation firm focused on Expert Witness Opinion and Crisis Management. Doug and I discussed what we believe will be a new challenge to those teaching self defense with a firearm, legal Culpability. In other words you could be held responsible for the material you teach and how it is implemented and may incur liability if that material is not of a sound origin. Pretty wordy way to say "Careful what you say and do when teaching a class". If you are an armed citizen you should take time to vet your instructors, if you are an instructor you should have a well documented lesson plan. Stay tuned!
