This is second part of interview 24 taken from the membersarea of my survival course. I talk about concealed carry of weapons (not), use of hand grenades, typical gun fights and more. There is very little hollywood in all of this.
I hope this helps you get more prepared and get idea how these situations happen in real world.
About the course. When I started course I was not sure if people appreciate what I have to say. It is all very normal for me, it is part of my life and experience. But now we receive much good feedback. Thank you for that. For example I received email from Megan today:
When I was in Paramedic school, we had an enormous amount of material to learn in a short amount of time. Half of our class of fifty flunked-out by mid-terms. Now I find, years later, that the materials in your course are equally important for survival, if not more so. Qualitatively different from anything else that I’ve ever seen, they are thought-provoking, packed with information. I’m sure that if I were to ignore the lessons in your stories, I wouldn’t be around to save anyone in the future.
If you think about course and are not sure we also have 30 day money back guarantee. I’m not here to rip anyone off. Stay prepared. Listen to interview below.

I think everyone needs to experience a controlled “fight to the death”… the excitement, the adrenaline, the fear, the problems they might experience in a SHTF situation. I have trained extensively for the last 5 years at America’s largest firearms training center with Handguns, Tactical Shotguns, Tactical Rifles and Practical Rifles (hunting and sniping) to learn tactical skills. It was important to take those skills to a place where we could exercise them and put them to use in an environment close to reality without the danger of death. I’ve found that Paintball is that experience – people are trying to “Kill or Defeat You”, being shot is painful and ends your “life”, you have goals – capturing the other team or their base, learning teamwork and positioning. I learned quickly that I was too aggressive which would almost always result in quick progress and almost always quick death so I had to learn to balance aggression and tactics!
Survival and Tactical Fighting are skills and therefore can be learned, developed and honed by doing – preferably before you need it!
A game we used to play as children in the wood but sometimes in urban settings or graveyards, using clothespin guns taught me a fair amount about not being shot. It wasn’t lethal but it sure hurt. I too have a tenancy to be to aggressive rash and quick to anger and in order not to have to many bruises I had to learn invisible and patient.
As an adult living in a nasty city, I have been shot at by real guns, stabbed once and menaced by weapons of various kinds many times over the years and it has defiantly given me that “fight to the death” excitement, adrenaline and fear. I don’t think you could call any of it controlled either. I have also discovered a disturbing habit of going on the attack instead of running away, I just seem to go on auto pilot and think about it later.
I think if you need firearms, I’m screwed here in Canada for much more than hunting rifles and shotguns and the odd pistol and I can’t shoot guns or rifles cause of a rotator cuff injury. I do have a fair assortment of fixed blade knives, a few swords, about a half dozen folding knives 1 longbow and a slingshot.
Ammonium nitrate (fertilizer, get the right kind), Fuel oil (diesel, kerosene) and canon fuze. Tape a few rifle shell primers to the business end and volia, no need to put your head up to aim. Amazing what our grand fathers got away with in the prairies during the 50′s. Removed a lot of stumps, should remove a few dangers too. Oh ya, stick it in a threaded pipe for the compession factor. BOOM. Don’t try this at your own home.

Zeebull,
I must apologize to you. My email address was misspelled. It is http://www.andreyahjeffcoat@yahoo.com. If you would contact me in reference to the fertilizer.

@Wayne,
One of the things we trained for in the military was if you were injured, how would you continue the fight if your primary side was hit.
I learned to shoot with both strong and weak sides. I am right handed and right eye dominant, but I trained myself how to shoot with my left side and left eye. If your rotator cuff is in bad shape, you could try to retrain yourself using your weak side. If you can’t use a rifle or shotgun strong side, I can’t think of how you’re going to use a bladed weapon strong side. With enough practice with your weak side, you should be competant within a reasonable amount of time (not talking precision 1000 meter shots, but good enough to get the job done).
You might also want to consider a caliber that is reasonable (5.56mm/.223) enough to get the job done, but not bash your shoulder like the medium calibers (.30-06, 7.62, 300 WM, 8 x 57, etc). I found a nice surplus rifle in 7×57 that my young son loves… shoots it like a champ. Very reasonable recoil.
Best advice I’ve ever heard was from Bat Masterson,it’s good to be fast,good to be accurate,but you must be deliberate,take your time in a hurry.It’s always worked for me.
Here in Brazil i’m traning every day , w/ .22 LR semi auto rifle and revolver , pistol .380 and shotgun’s 36 and .28 ( dual ) and .12 pump.
I’m alone , but really ready.
If you find yourself in a gun fight or “downrange” YOU have done something VERY wrong…your opsec needs to be updated and those responsible need to be held accountable. A gunfight NEVER ends well for anyone involved.

Bread and spectacle,bread and spectacle. We have become, what ROME once was.

Ref. the Rotator Cuff Injury:
THere is a very nice weapon called a KRISS. It is a .45 ACP carbine. This weapon has a folding stock, and can be fired in that configuration (considering your damaged shoulder, this might be important), and a very easy-to-use cocking mechanism, as well. Due to the very unique recoil mechanism that is built into this rifle, the recoil is similar to that of a .22 Magnum rifle. You might want to try out one of these for future purchase, since it does have excellent hitting power, exceptional accuracy at distances not normally seen for a .45 caliber weapon (I’ve seen novice shooters hitting targets down range at 200 or more yards, accurately) and the recoil is so light that it can be used repeatedly, without probable further damage to your shoulder. Good luck, be safe,
George
Zeebull. Right kind of fertilizer? I am sure we would all like that info. How about giving us the FACTS ?
