I know the title is a bit dramatic, but it is a concept that I have had spinning around in my head as I have been listening to the latest episode of the Hardcore History Podcast dealing with the Celtic Holocaust.

Between the times of 100 BC and around 50 BC the Celtic people found themselves engaged in a struggle for survival with the Roman empire and Julius Caesar. As individuals and as a whole it seems like they must have had to ask themselves the question, “What are we willing to die for?”

It isn’t an easy question or one that very many of us have had to ask ourselves, yet at the same time I can see some striking parallels to the kinds of questions we should be asking ourselves when it comes to personal protection and self-defense.

I don’t know if any of this will make any sense when you listen to it. Maybe it is just a bunch of illogical drivel. At the same time, the concepts struck me and as I hope to be a better student to both history and to personal protection, it makes sense to me to explore the connections when they seem to appear.

So, I ask you, what are you willing to die for? Connect with me and let me know.

Today on the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast we are going to chat with Kevin Creighton a gun blogger at Misfires and Light Strikes. Kevin is also a freelance writer for Lucky Gunner, Ricochet and Shooting Illustrated.

We chat with Kevin about my recent trip to Little Rock Arkansas and the Ringmaster Tactical Conference, the MAG-40 he will be attending in early May in NE Ohio and about a new dry fire training product he is involved in developing called the Interactive Training Pistol.

The Rangemaster Tactical Conference was an outstanding seminar. While there I had the chance to spend time with tons of great people, learn a ton and I had an all around fun time as well.

On May 4th Safety Solutions Academy will be kicking off it’s third annual MAG-40 Course with Massad Ayoob. You can find out more and get registered by following this link.

Kevin is involved with brining a new dry fire training pistol to market and an indiegogo campaign for the IPTS launches on April 15th. We talk a bit about the Interactive Pistol Training System and what it can do to help improve your understanding of your shooting skills. You can learn more by following the link to the Interactive Pistol Training System page.

Today I spent some time talking with Rob Pincus of I.C.E. Training about a wide variety of topics. We started out talking about our current political situation and the Second Amendment challenges that we face and what we can do about them. Somehow we spent a chunk of time talking about ammunition evolution and performance, and the hope that with engineering advances .380 might become the standard. Both Rob and I have been testing the Safer Faster Defense Responder which is an ankle rig designed by Alessandro Padovani that is a great way to carry your medical essentials. The conversation about medical gear lead into the civilian response to violence and spree killings and how we can make sure that we respond in a manner that is beneficial to those involved and also keeps us safe from others that may be responding to the situation. Distance Education is an endeavor that PDN has been involved in since 2012 and Rob filled us in on the new interaction with Law Enforcement course that recently launched on the website. FInally we chatted about the Avidity Arms PD10 and some of the other highlights of SHOT Show 2017. Subscribe to the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast and leave a rating and review.

401 - Safety In Simulated Training

08/20/16 • 28 min

This Friday 15 episode of the SSA Podcast is brought to you by:

Aridus Industries maker of the awesome accessory for your shotgun the QDC (Quick Detach Carrier.)

You can find Aridus industries at SSA.Training/qdc

Now let’s get right to today’s Friday 15 Topic:

401 - Safety Issues in Simulated Training

Mid june - Death as a result of malfunction clearing in the classroom.

Death of 73 year old female citizen police academy cadet.

Shot fired in a middle school Tennesee during Spree Killer Simulation.

2 deaths are tragic for lots of reasons most importantly because they are PREVENTABLE!

All three incidents resulted from a lax safety protocol in simulated training and all three incidents were completely preventable.

Lou Chiodo provides solid safety protocol for force on force training that could easily be applied to simulation events as well.

Good article for folks who are running FoF, or ever for folks who are going to take FoF training. The Problem is the average person doesn’t understand that these protocols are important and they place their trust in the “professionals.”

Kevin Creighton - Discusses the idea that if there was wide-spread understanding of firearm safety rules outside of the gun culture these incidents could have been prevented. In some circumstances I think Kevin is right.But I think there is a problem that goes beyond what Lou and Kevin are getting at. It is a problem that our nanny state has created.For some reason, people think that because they are the student and someone else is the teacher they are in good hands. They believe that even if something doesn’t seem right, who are they to question it.They forget the idea that THEY will have to live with the consequences of a training incident as much or maybe even more than everyone else involved.You are responsible for your safety. As soon as you turn that responsibility over, you surrender your fate.So what should you do?Remember what safety is.

Get educated.Use your education to make good choices.Pay attention to what is going on.When something doesn’t seem right, ask for clarification.

Be ready to walk out.

NEver forget that you will have to deal with the consequences of an accident. Ignorance doesn’t make the negative outcomes disappear....

To put this whole situation in perspective, on average - 89 people a day die in motor vehicle accidents in the US...

The Safety Solutions Academy » Podcast Feed - An Interview On Executive Protection with Joshua Gideon of No Soft Targets
play

04/11/16 • 66 min

In the world of self-defense and personal protection, it is common to look to the law enforcement and military worlds for guidance in equipment, accessories, tactics and mindset. At times, this can produce some valuable insight. I would argue, however, that at least as often (probably much more often) these areas can lead us astray when it comes to understanding how we can lead a safer life a an armed citizen.

I believe that the average armed citizen could find much more relevant information if they were to look to another realm all together. The executive protection world mimics the role of the concealed carry permit holder much more closely than the military or law enforcement influence that is so prominent.

In this episode of the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast we are going to talk with Joshua Gideon about the connection between executive protection and concealed carry.

Who is Joshua Gideon?
  • Joshua currently works in IT and has previous experience in IT as a director in a medium sized pharmaceutical corporation where he served in the role of IT and Security Director.
  • Previously, he left IT and trained and worked extensively in Executive Protection for 5 years.
  • Joshua has a tendency to approach personal protection from an intellectual angle rather than having the gear centric focus.
  • Is the host of No Soft Targets Radio a new podcast available on iTunes.
What you can expect to learn on today's show:
  • We talk about what executive protection is
  • How executive protection principles can be applied to the life of a concealed carry permit holder.
  • We also discuss the idea that your personal security is scaleable.

429 - Covering your ASP with John Correia of Active Self Protection In this episode of the SSA Podcast:

We chat with self-defense content task master John Correia of Active Self Protection.

Through ASP John releases daily videos on Facebook, Youtube and the ASP website that analyze real life self-defense encounters and teaches lessons in personal protection.

The lessons taught through John’s videos emphasize the Attitude, Skills, and Plan that every day concealed carry holders should be focusing on to maximize their training, practice and chance to survive a violent encounter.

In today’s episode I talk with John about the success of the ASP YouTube channel, his recent adventure at the NRA Carry Guard Expo, the difference between being in a gunfight and a shooting, the morality difference between a violent criminal and a law abiding citizen, FIBS and FIBA, what they mean and why they are important to you, and a ton more.
