1980s Gun vs Knife Police Training
Here is an interesting video to help train officers about the dangers of distance and knife attacks. The speed of the first attack is rather impressive. Some of this information seems out of date and of course more training and speed draws can help alleviate some issues. However not many practice drawing quickly out of […]

ATF Rules 40mm Practice “Chalk” Rounds Are Explosives, Destructive Devices
In a head-scratching ruling, the ATF has reclassified 40mm practice (“chalk”) rounds and 40mm flares as “destructive devices”, putting them in the same category as actual explosive 40mm grenade ammunition.
