FNP 129 : Mike Wood - Police Lessons From the 70s Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

Mike Wood is the son of a 30 year veteran of California Highway Patrol and Mike wrote the book "Newhall Shooting-A Tactical Analysis". This book breaks down the horrific shooting of four CHP officers and what was learned. Mike also is a firearms instructor and columnist for PoliceOne.com. His column is called Tactical Analysis and I found an article that I thought was insightful. The article was on how today's law enforcement officers could learn from 70s era cops on how to stay safe and deal with the current radical anti-government forces. This is the same radicals the 1970s police were fighting, only now the generation has changed..but the ideas are still there.

Mike breaks down actionable steps that will keep you safe and provides a massive historical context to it all.

FNP 127 : Deconstructing Gunfights - Jennifer Fulford Sep 27, 2019

Show notes

Jennifer Fulford was a deputy sheriff back in 2004 when she went to a suspicious incident call. A child on the phone was stating strange men were in the house and on arrival she met up with the female homeowner who was acting strange. It turned out three men were inside committing an armed home invasion.

Jennifer got into a gunfight with two of the men and despite being shot multiple times, she was able to take out both suspects. The third suspect gave up.

Jennifer went on to have a career in law enforcement and now talks to other officers on how to survive critical events.

FNP 126 : Jeremy Griffin - Dropzone Gunner a New Shooting Sport Sep 07, 2019

Show notes

Jeremy Griffin is a classic entrepreneur who has put his resources into starting a new kind of shooting sport. Dropzone Gunner is basically an outdoor obstacle race with shooting mixed into it. Those races are very popular and people have a great time competing in them. So Jeremy thought why not include shooting and have people who never shot a gun before, get out and try it. You also get experienced shooters who want to add a different element to their competition. Dropzone Gunner has both and looks to be a lot of fun.
