You're going to suck... Just suck fast so you can hurry up and get good.

An Ancient Chinese Proverb
"Its always the weak and innocent who suffer the most at the hands of corrupt and violent men."
I am an anti-violence advocate, yet its ironic because in order to be truly peaceful, you must be capable of great violence… yet choose to not use it.
Someone who is incapable of violence is not peaceful… they are docile, weak, and useless when confronted with evil.
The Lethal Man
Is a person who is capable of great violence, but chooses not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
He knows how to make those judgements beyond any sort of reasonable doubt.
A young student was walking in the garden with his master one day...
"Master," said the young boy... You always have us training, but for what? There hasn't been a war here for many years, longer than my own lifetime".
The Master looked on into the flowers he was attending and answered the young boy.
"I as a warrior, have fought in many battles and many wars long before your time. It was through those hard times that made our people strong, and through that strength we have acquired many things, amongst them, peace and freedom. Now in this freedom, I choose to spend my time training you young boys and tending this garden. This I can do. However, if you choose to not be a warrior and give way to the softer things in life- like gardening, then when the hard men from foreign lands come again, you will be among the first to fall."
"For it is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war."
Defensive Shooting & Tactics
Everything we do is from the holster... If you don't know how to do that don't worry wee will get you there.
Everything we do involved multiple shots on target... Cause that's just the way its going to be.
Get exactly as good as you want to be... Nothing more or less is expected or required.
With that....
You can become the person who is capable of preserving life, liberty, and the pursuit of one's happiness.
