Have you ever considered doing a video about JKDU tactical firearms training?

Thanks,

Nooooooooooo,
Not "Tactical"!!!!!

Firearms training is one thing, but please lets keep the word "tactical" for the miltary or specialized police arena. I have many knives, but only one is "Tactical." Meaning I used it in a military enviroment and uses like cutting S&P/commo wire, stabbing a medical dummy, looking cool w/ big knife, opening ammo crate, digging a cat hole to crap in and hunting pigs on field deployment.

Sorry, Shelton. I forgot how much you hate that term. However, let me make a brief semantic apologia for poor old "tactical":

When I use the word "tactical," I mean "life or death fight." A "tactical" knife is one that you would use in a life or death knife fight (as opposed to skinning, cutting rope, etc.). "Tactical" firearms training deals with techniques and strategies that you would use to defend your life in a gunfight (as opposed to winning shooting competitions). This applies to civilians as much as it does to military personnel. Nowadays, when most people use the term "tactical," they use it in this sense.

Thanks,
Jims

I'm just old and set in my ways I still prefer the term "defensive" for most applications, or "combative" if the object was offensive use of some weapon/skill. I shall demonstrate the differences in the "tactical" headbutt, "defensive" headbutt and the "combative" headbutt laer in class

Although I have faced guns in the street, I don't have any practial experience actually trying to take a loaded gun away. As for shooting skills, I defer to Colonel Rex Applegate's research. Hitting targets is different than getting accurate shots off at a target that is shooting at you!
