In today's Coffee with Rich, Mike Seeklander will join us to discuss the book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs by Lou Elizondo! Join us!   This is part 2 of the UAP/UFO series and if you have not listened to part one, please jump back into podcast episode #380.     In this show we break down key information points in Lou's new book and discuss some yet undiscussed aspects of the hot topic of UAP/UFO's.   Luis “Lue” Elizondo is a former senior intelligence official and special agent who was recruited into a strange and highly sensitive US Government program to investigate UAP incursions into sensitive military installations and air space. To accomplish his mission, Elizondo had to rely on decades of experience gained working some of America's most sensitive and classified programs. Even then, he was not prepared for what he would learn, and the truth about the government's long shadowy involvement in UAP investigations, and the lengths officials would take to keep them a secret. The stakes could not be higher. Imminent is a first-hand, revelatory account inside the Pentagon's most closely guarded secret and a call to action to confront humanity's greatest existential questions.   Buy the Book Here:  Imminent     Coffee with Rich Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rhodieusmc/videos

Today Riley and Jacob do a special episode where we bring in 10 guests to share their top tips and ideas for CCWers, guests like: Kyle Lamb, Mike Seeklander, Eve Flanigan, Jeff Gonzales, Chris Cheng, John Correia and more! These shooting tips are guaranteed to improve your shooting skills...if you're willing to put in the time to master them!

This week we talk with Mike Seeklander about personal safety, catch-up on some previous issues, present a new Offense/Defense, and tackle your listener questions.

Been thinking a bit about practice, and where I should be spending my time in practice since I haven’t shot a match in about 4 months. What are the areas that I need to work on? Probably everything, and if that’s a thing, starting can seem overwhelming. I mentioned on the podcast last week that I suck at lifting weights, but because I suck at it, I’m seeing tons and tons of progress, and that’s really motivating to keep lifting weights. I can deal with the sore muscles and trouble walking up stairs because I’m seeing lots of progress. So, back to practice: Things that I suck really bad at, are the things that are motivating to practice. Hammering on table starts, and reloads from my rearmost couple pouches, etc, are things that I’m not good at, and I can spend 10 minutes practicing these things and see a LOT of progress. However, Is spending a bunch of time working on table starts, when I only see one every few months really the best way to spend my time? I got to thinking about this while listening to the most recent episode of the American Warrior Show this morning, where Mike Seeklander is interviewing John Correia from Active Self Protection. John watches videos of self defense scenarios. Thousands upon thousands of them. In the interview he talked about how there are a lot of things that people talk about needing for concealed carry, that he’s NEVER seen in one of the videos he’s watched: things like a CCWer actually doing a reload in a gunfight. Things like a CCWer needing to use some sort of flashlight or weapon mounted light in a gunfight. But yet, when we consult the tactical corners of the internet, there are tons and tons of people practicing and training on these sorts of things, so they will be more effective in a gunfight. That’s not necessarily bad, but how much more effective would they be if they were to spend their time on the things that are most likely to happen and not the things that are the most fun or the sexiest, or the best for Instagram. It was a great interview, and I think if you’re at all interested in carrying a gun for self defense it should be high on your list to listen to this week. What are the things that most stages require you to do: Shoot accurately - so if you suck at shooting accurately, you should remedy that immediately. I think if this is an area that you’re really struggling in, you should get instruction from someone locally who can shoot really accurately. In my opinion, it’s not worth it to blast thousands of rounds trying to learn accuracy. It’ll be cheaper to spend a hundred bucks on a session with someone local to you who can give you the adjustment you need to shoot accurately. Thing is, shooting accurately isn’t particularly sexy of fun to practice, but it’s necessary to scoring well. You can do everything else lighting fast, but if you’re hits aren’t there, you’re gonna lose. Movement - Almost every stage, USPSA, IDPA, 3-Gun, outlaw matches, etc require you to do some movement. So, being able to move efficiently, into and out of positions, keeping the gun up where it needs to be, is a HUGE part in being able to place well in matches. Movement can be fun to practice, but I’ll tell you as someone who walks 20,000+ steps in an average day, a hefty movement practice still makes me legs hurt like crazy the next day. So, that might not be the sexiest thing to practice, but it’s one of the things that you need in order to shoot well. Reloads - I can’t tell you how often I see dudes with legit 2+ second reloads, and it’s clear that they’ve never really put any thought into what they’re doing.If you don’t have any idea where to start with reloads, go on YouTube and look at what the really good guys are doing, then emulate it in front of a mirror or something. You might make some tweaks to make things work better for you, but it should get you in a good starting place. Obviously there’s a LOT more to practical shooting than these three things, but if we’re talking about the handful of things that you can pretty easily work on and get really good at, and see the most result from, these are three pillars that should give you a good starting point. Thing is though: They’re not sexy. They’re not necessarily fun to work on like some other things you can do, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, these are three things that will give you a lot of improvement in your game if you push hard on them. So, the next time you catch yourself dryfiring 4-aces for 30 minutes straight because it’s fun, maybe pause it, and work on some other things. Q&A: Thurmon: I have developed a strong interest in competitive shooting over the last year. I'm still working up to shooting my first match (Hope to have you a first match voicemail early in 2018). I've went and watched the November uspsa match at cggr and just this weekend went and watched the carbine only match there as well. I was wondering if you could maybe cover some of the terminology used so some of use newbies won't be so lost in the lingo. One I've heard a lot is the on deck, in the hole, and in the deep hole. What exactly does that mean? Other newbie things I think people would benefit from is the definitions of comstock and Virginia count. I know some of these can be found in the rule books but thought there may be other listeners who might benefit from a good explanation. Thanks for all that you do with the podcast and hopefully one day soon we might see each other at a local match. On Deck: That means you’re the next shooter In the hole: That means you’re the 2nd shooter In the deep hole: means you’re the 3rd shooter Official definition from the USPSA Rulebook: “Comstock” Rule number 9.2.2 "Unlimited time stops on the last shot, unlimited number of shots to be fired, stipulated number of hits per target to count for score." Basically, shoot as much as you want. “Virginia Count” Rule number: 9.2.3 "Unlimited time stops on the last shot, limited number of shots to be fired, stipulated number of hits per target to count for score." Shoot only the exact number of rounds that you're told you can shoot. Shooting more will incur penalties for extra shots and extra hits. I want to do a Q&A show next week, but to do it, I need your questions, I only have a few. So, if you’ve got a question like Thurmon, head over to triangletactical.net/question to submit your questions for next weeks Q&A show.

Host Dr. Richard Louis Miller interviews Mike Seeklander, author, International Firearms Competitor, National Firearms Safety Instructor, co-host of The Best Defense, the Outdoor channel’s leading firearm instructional show, and US Air Marshall.

In episode 432 of the SSA Podcast I talked about Dustin Salomon's book, Building Shooters with friend and colleague Rob Morse.  Lot's of folks had a really positive response to the episode, including the author, Dusty.  He reached out and shared some positive thoughts about the episode and was receptive to continuing the conversation and that is exactly what we do in episode 433.   Dusty, Rob and I dive into a deep conversation about firearms instruction.  We talk about all kinds of topics including: Dustin's time in the Navy, “It's not just a job, it's an adventure!” What key takeaways instructors should have from this episode What key thoughts students should be focused on Why is it that Building Shooters has been needed by the firearms training industry? A look at the terrain of the commercial side of defensive training. A look at the terrain of the human brain and how it guides learning. Priming.  What it is and why it is important How the brain learns Short term memory and how its limits are the limits of learning How we can help transfer skills from the short term memory into the long term procedural memory. Dustin's new book, “Mentoring Shooters” And a ton more!

Today I had a chance to chat with Ben Branam and Bob Mayne at the range as we prepared to teach a Beyond Concealed Carry Enhanced +p+ course in Southington, Ohio.   We talked about the tendency of the gunternet to pounce on what they call derp and the negative effects that the negativity can have on the gun community.   A perfect example is what happened when Mike Seeklander posted about a pending interview with Gabe Suarez.     The pouncing also happens when folks that are new to the gun community make "mistakes" that don't follow what social media gun "experts" think is the best course.   What do you think about this negative trend?   Take a look at the book we mention in the show, How to Win Friends and Influence People.   Subscribe to the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast and leave a rating and review.   Become a Patron of the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast.   You can support the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast by clicking through our affiliate links: Click on the Amazon Affiliate link every time you shop at Amazon!

If you carry concealed, you've probably been concerned about printing (having the outline of your gun showing through your clothes) at at least one time or another. Now that we're in 2016 and everyone and their brother has a giant cell phone on their hip, I don't think printing matters anymore. I spent about 12 hours this past weekend watching the general public (I was doing something else while the general public filtered past me) and I noticed some trends. Here's some "tells" I've been thinking about lately: It seems like there's a new "shoot me first vest" that's taken the form of a plaid shirt, khaki "outdoorsy" pants, and hiking boots. It's usually accompanied by dark, expensive sunglasses, and sometimes a hat with a patch on the front of it. One thing that I find myself doing all the time is hiking up my pants when I stand up while getting out of the car, or standing up from sitting. Something about the IWB holster I use that makes it tend to slide down a bit when sitting. Another habit that I tend to have is that I'm constantly checking to make sure my shirt is pulled down over my blaster. It's weird, I check it all the time, and I don't think I've ever found my gun exposed, but I still check it constantly. News An attempted robbery took place in Texas recently. The clerk pulled his gun, shot back, and did it all while not even dropping his cigarette. The relationship between USPSA and IPSC *seems* to be on the mend. For now. As of this morning, it looks like USPSA Pres. Mike Foley has agreed not to sanction the upcoming match in the Philippines due to the Phillipine IPSC RD not wanting it sanctioned, and the threat of sanctions against USPSA by the IPSC General Assembly. Gear that Doesn't Suck If you've been holding out on getting a shot timer, now's the time. Amazon just dropped the price (at least at the time of this episode airing in 10/2016) to about $95 and some change, which is about $35 off regular price. I think a shot timer is an important investment for knowing how good you are, and building confidence and consistency. Click here to go to the Gear that Doesn't Suck page. Plug of the Week You need to go listen to this episode of the American Warrior Podcast. Mike Seeklander interviewed his cousin Todd Orr about his experience getting mauled by a grizzly bear...twice. It's absolutely must listen audio, take my word for it.   

The main topic for this weeks podcast was inspired by this Instagram post by Veil Solutions:       Turns out, it's relevant for competitive shooting too. When someone shows up to their first match, a lot of the time they don't even know what's possible, so getting stomped by the really good shooters is good for them. It lets them know what's possible, and what they need to strive for. On the other hand, if they show up, and the best shooters were to just take it easy and beat the new guy by the thinnist of margins, the new guy would think he "almost" beat the best shooters. Gear that Doesn't Suck Ben and I have both been looking for a decent squib stick to keep in our range bags that wouldn't break the bank. After poking around on Amazon we found this $7 brass rod that works great. It's sized just right for a 9mm bore, and did I mention it's $7? In the past Ben's been using a wooden dowel to pound out squibs, but recently shattered it on an exceptionally stubborn one. The brass rod has pounded a few squibs since we've had it, and it's good to go. Check the sidebar of the website at triangletactical.net if you want to get one. The News The BATFE announced the dreaded 41P ruling last week right after Pres. Obama dropped his Executive Actions. Turns out it's not as bad as a lot of people were expecting. Basically it's now requiring everyone on a NFA trust to submit fingerprints, paperwork and a picture to the ATF, and they've eliminated the CLEO sign-off requirement from... everything. The Prince Law blog has the details. As mentioned above, President Obama also announced his executive actions on guns. Most of it wasn't anything to get your panties in a wad about, but there is one area of concern, and that's the Social Security Adminstration communicating with NICS or whoever to tell them what people have been deemed by them not to be able to own guns. Basically they way we understand is that this will impact people who aren't able to take care of their own finances, so their SSA checks go to someone else who then handles their estate for them. I'd prefer there be some sort of due process to go along with people losing their rights, but that's just me. Hickok45 got banninated from YouTube this week. Twice. Turns out it's not the conspiracy everyone thought it was. They've got the final word up on their YouTube page here. Ben also wrote a little post about it that's worth a read.  First Match Story This week's first match story comes in as a big surprise to us from Mike Seeklander of the American Warrior Show. Turns out he shot his first match at Ant Hill Range right here in NC. It's about 45 minutes into the show, and it's good. Real good. Don't miss it.  Plug of the Week: ParaCast. A while back we recommended Tom Nelson's ParaCast back when he was doing just a Q&A format type show. Since then The Gun Dudes stopped recording new episodes, and Tom brought on Steve Koski and Andy Peterson as regulars, and they've been putting out some pretty good stuff. Check them out here.  Contact luke@triangletactical.net ben@triangletactical.net

Today I talk to champion gun shooter, Mike Seeklander about the world of competition gun shooting. Besides competing around the country, Mike is also a firearms instructor for citizens as well as law enforcement officers. Today on the show, Mike and I discuss the world of competition gun shooting-- what's involved and how to get started. We also discuss self-defense with and without a firearm.

This week Ben and I have a discussion about the upcoming race for USPSA President. Up to this point, I haven't really cared about it much, as I generally feel that things are going just fine with the sport, and as a somewhat casual shooter, I can't think of what needs to be fixed. Ben however has a much deeper understanding of these things than I do, and explains to me (and you) why it's important, and who is running on which platform, etc. I'm actually interested now, and I think even if you don't shoot USPSA, you'll find the discussion interesting. Housekeeping We apparently forgot to mention this on the podcast, but Ben and I were interviewed on the Action Shooting Radio podcast a few weeks ago. We talked about how to stay motivated to practice, and I thought it was a pretty good episode. You should check it out, it's episode 45 of their podcast. You can find them in iTunes here, Stitcher here, and the regular podcast feed address is here. Gear That Doesn't Suck We get asked a lot about getting into reloading, so this week for Gear that Doesn't Suck, Ben and I talked about the reloading press that we've both started with (and as of the release of this episode still use, although Ben is upgrading to a Dillon 650 in the near future). We both use the Lee 4-hole Turret Press, and we both have loaded a lot of ammo on our respective presses. I'l closing in on 7000 rounds on mine, and Ben figures he's somewhere up around the 20,000 round mark on his. It's not the best press, or the fastest, but it'a a great starting point that's faster than a single stage, and has less of a learning curve than a progressive press. As mentioned in the podcast, I put together a list of all the beginner reloading stuff we recommend, and you can find it here. The News NC House Bill 562 left the NC House this past week after having so many amendments added to it that I can't even tell you what's still in the bill, and what isn't. You can check out the amendments here. The Brady Bunch has been ordered to pay the legal fees of some businesses that they sued after the Colorado theatre shooting. There was a terrible shooting in a church in South Carolina this week. Folks that are both pro- and anti-gun have been politicizing the issue. It's not okay to politicize it, no matter which side you are on. Also, if you haven't already, check out this episode of the American Warrior Society podcast where Mike Seeklander interviews a man who intervened when some scumbags were planning to kill everyone in his church. Just months after an Uber driver intervened in a mass shooting in Chicago, and everyone praised Uber for their policy of following state and local laws regarding guns, they seem to have quietly changed their policy on the issue, banning guns for both drivers and passengers using Uber. Tip of the Week: When you're shooting a major match, don't just sign off on your score sheet and forget about it. Take a minute to verify everything is correct before you put it away, because once you sign it, it's final. Contact - luke@triangletactical.net - ben@triangletactical.net - (919) 295-6128  

Gear That Doesn't Suck Streamlight Stylus Pro - Great little flashlight for everyday usage. It's small, well put together, and the batteries last a long time. It's not a flashlight that'll turn night into day, but it's bright enough. Nice form factor. Main Topic 3 big announcements this week.  1. We're doing another run of t-shirts. This time they're lightweight athletic type shirts which are great for wearing while shooting in the summer. You can find them at triangletactical.net/shirts. They're $20 plus shipping, with a blank front, and the Triangle Tactical logo on the rear.  2. We're going to start opening up some slots for advertisers on the podcast. If you have a product or business that is 1. relevant to our audience, and 2. doesn't suck, hit me up at luke@triangletactical.net and we can talk. 3. The biggest news is that we're going daily with the podcast. Actually, we're launching a completely separate podcast which I'm calling Triangle Tactical Q&A. We're running out of time in the regular show to give everyones feedback and questions the attention that it deserves, so we'll be answering them in the new Q&A show. It'll be in iTunes soon, but for now you can subscribe to the feed at http://www.triangletactical.net/feed/qna The News: Garland Texas jihadi attack. Two scumbags attempted an attack on some sort of Mohammed cartoon drawing contest. They had rifles, but were stopped by a Garland police officer with a .45ACP Glock. Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed is collaborating with the Second Amendment Foundation to sue the State Department for making Wilson take down his plans for the 3D printed "Liberator" pistol.
