Red Flag Laws and my Rights (and Responsibilities?)
Some of what we see, hear, and read is truth, but there’s a lot of rhetoric on both sides of this issue. I’ve reposted some news articles and blogs related to the subject and have seen a pretty big spike in traffic on our Facebook page with several comments, some private messages, texts, emails, and some phone calls discussing this topic.
Why go to a Concealed Carry Class if my state is Constitutional?
Serious Considerations
Concealed Handgun Carry License
So, you made the decision to carry a firearm, but you haven't decided to conceal or to constitutionally carry. If you're one of the few people who are willing to consider both sides of the argument, then this article is written for you.
What's the big deal with concealed carry licensure anyway? Who really needs one and who doesn’t? Many are in favor of getting proper licensure. Of those, most have done the research and realize that it is by far better to go through the class and absolutely understand the laws than listening to unlicensed and uneducated individuals discuss jailhouse law. Let's face it, everyone on social media has an opinion, and most of those opinions have no basis in fact. Allow me to ask you this question. How much do you trust people you don't know when it comes to your money and your freedom?

Building your Business as a Trainer: Be a Good Instructor
They took time out of their busier-than-ever lives and traveled . . . to see you.
They made room in their budget (some planning months ahead), and they are handing over their hard-earned money . . . to you.
You might be wondering at this point: Who are “they”? Well, let me tell you. They are your future students. And you are their Firearms Instructor. And, of course, what you offer to your future students largely depends on the quality of your instruction. It depends on how well you were trained and your willingness to continue to develop yourself as an instructor.
Building your Business as a Trainer: Duties and Responsibilites of a Range Officer
Everyone is a range officer…NOT
du·ty
ˈd(y)o͞odē
noun
1. a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility.
synonyms: responsibility, obligation, commitment
2. a task or action that someone is required to perform.
synonyms: job, task, assignment, mission, function, charge, place, role, responsibility, obligation
As a Range Officer you have a duty to keep those coming to your range for recreation or training safe from themselves, keep the event under control, make sure range rules are being followed, and ultimately ensure that no one is endangering the safety of others. The idea that "everyone is a range officer" is incorrect. The fact that everyone is responsible for their own actions, however is true. The duties of a Range Officer are different than the responsibilities of those attending the training event.
How to Start Your Church Safety and Security Team
The quickest, easiest, most cost-effective and safest way to create security for your church and get stakeholders onboard.
Every so often when I travel, I drive by a very large, or “mega” church. And let me tell you . . . It’s big. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not necessarily TV “megastar” evangelist big. But it’s plenty big.
My drive past the church involves the same scene every time the church has an event. An armed, uniformed Law Enforcement Officer waving me by with his hand. On the side of the road – his fellow officers. Usually, two or three are standing on the side of the road, chatting away. Actually, there’s more than three. As I look over to my right, in the direction of the parking lot, I see more officers. Armed. Of course.
I’ve never been to the front door of this church. (I don’t attend a mega church.) But I am sure they have a n officer near the door. Like I said: I never attended this church. But, I’m willing to wager they have an armed guard near the entrance.
And it got me to thinking…
Are the parishioners of a megachurch more valuable than members of a medium or small size church?
Are their lives so valuable that they alone deserve armed security every Sunday?
Are their lives more valuable than the people I worship with every Sunday?
Of course not. But we act that way. Don’t we?
