Burn Notice

This has become about my 2nd favorite show, just behind NCIS

Of course without cable, I'm sort of stuck with what is in syndication

Boston wants to license knife sellers

They are selling quote "dangerous aggressive weapons"

Knives are aggressive?

So by limiting the number of knife sellers, they will reduce violence?, next step limit the number of kitchens?

Then perhaps address the knife show loophole, and knife trafficking from states with loose knife laws?

Last Call

We have a few openings left:

Open mind and good attitude



This seminar is a hands on training event, part of the seminar will deal with you having no personal firearm avalible and having to use your attacker's and also with you deployoing your own gun.



Classified as a gun threat defense and not to be confused with gun defense, where the only defense is to seek cover and return fire, this seminar will teach you how to negotiate the disadvantage of having a firearm stuck in your face. Although a very dangerous situation it is not the end of the world and can be dwalt with in an effective manner, provided you have the skills and confidence to effectively control the situation. You will learn how to defend, disable and disarm your attacker and what to do after you have gained the advantage of the situation.



Reality Based Self Defense Training


There are a lot of times when you cannot carry a weapon with you and times where you need to get to it or fight for it. Not having empty hand skills will only limit your ability to defend yourself and your family. Modern Defense Tactics provides you with reality based self-defense training that does not take a life time to learn.


Modern Defense Tactics has successfully integrated various styles of martial arts into one cohesive system that will work for anyone. These techniques are not complicated or impossible for the average person to do.


Studies have proven that your ability to use fine motor skills during stress-induced states are not possible even for someone with a lot of training and actually being put in those situations on multiple occasions. So we developed and focus on EASY to IMPLEMENT but effective technique.


You can experience the confidence that comes with having the proper tactical skills and psychological mindset necessary to survive a violent attack.


Most self-defense training takes too long to develop proficiency. What if you don’t have 5 or 10 years to train? What if you are needed to know how to effectively defend yourself tomorrow, next week, next month? Do you want to risk not being ready?


Our programs will teach you simple, COMBAT PROVEN tactics that do not take a lifetime to learn or to become proficient at. They follow simple patterns with many commonalities, but the bottom line is what we teach you works, period!!

NO Exceptions!!



That's what you get for thinking

Instead of knowing


Never point a firearm (loaded or unloaded) at anything you are not willing to destroy

When the libs don't like the answerr

They eat their own

Donohue sounds like that movie line:

"Truth, we don't need no stinkin truth"

Trying to look cool

is not tactical

I'm very sure it will not be that "exciting" when I train with Ken Hackathorn, and Larry Vickers later this year.

I feel so much safer now

Reporter gets gun off the street

He fails to explain, how passing another law would have kept the transaction from happening.

Follow up: he turns gun over to the police

After all its presence made him queasy

Frankly It sounds like Portland has a gang problem, not a gun problem
