Weekend Knowledge Dump- June 14, 2013

Here are a few links to articles and videos I found interesting this week.  Some are intellectual.  Some are informative.  Some are just fun.  If you have some free time, check them out this weekend.

 

 

No Guarantee More Gun Laws Will Prevent Next Newtown Tragedy

An LAPD cop’s view on Active Shooter Response in the workplace.

“If I were to enter an office building under those circumstances and ask some fleeing worker where the gunman was, I would hope to hear an answer like this:

 

“He’s face down in the stairwell.  Williams from accounting shot him.”

 

You might have a chance with a chair or a coffee pot, but wouldn’t you rather have a Beretta or a Glock?”

 

Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job

Read about a horrific gunfight where the suspect took 14 rounds of .45acp (6 supposedly fatal) before stopping.  I carry a .45 on duty, but I hate to break it to you…it isn’t a death wand and won’t stop “19 men out of 20.”  I find it telling to see that the cop in this case now carries a 9mm.  Bigger isn’t always better.

 

Lessons learned from facing an “invincible” assailant

Gunfighter Moment – Mike Pannone

Good point here about the whole “gross” vs. “fine” motor skills often discussed by firearms trainers.  If we expect our students to pull the trigger properly (a fine motor skill) why do we assume that they can’t use the slide release lever (also a fine motor skill)?

 

 

SIRT/Man-Maker Workout

Here’s how to integrate dry fire practice into a workout routine.  I printed out the target they made up and find that it works very well with the SIRT pistol.
