I’ve been reading all the information available about the mass shooting at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin last week. It’s another tragedy that shares some of the same characteristics as other active killer events that seem to be happening on a more regular basis of late.

A couple of different firearms instructors contacted me after receiving the EXACT same email. They were inquiring if I had received the solicitation and if I thought it was legitimate.
