As our mission is to make the world a safer place by helping good people become more dangerous, it is a genuine honor and privilege to align with a man who has made such monumental contributions in the exact same mission for many decades now. In this episode we cover many different strategies for protection ranging from soft skills to martial arts and firearms. I find it interesting that both of us love the hard skills but cannot stress enough the importance of various soft skills to truly be the skill sets that actually keep people safe most of the time. There is something in this interview for everyone… Enjoy! Protector by nature and by trade Byron For more, visit https://www.grossmanacademy.com/

For decades, the video game industry has provided hours of enjoyment for millions of people worldwide. With many competitors wanting a share of the pie, video game companies must constantly innovate to keep competitive. Part of this comes in the form of marketing and selling video games to children. On the surface, this may seem harmless enough. However, notice the number of hours your child spends on the screen. Do they lack sleep, exercise, and socialization? Are they becoming more aggressive? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you're not alone. The video games that our children play are increasingly becoming more addictive and violent. The consequences of these to our young are far-reaching. In this episode, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman shares how the video game industry and the government are turning a blind eye to the effects of violent video games. He talks about why it's problematic to have our children be exposed to these. We also learn how violent video games are connected to sleep deprivation, mass murder, suicide, and more. But not all is lost. Even if we cannot change the industry immediately, we can take control of our family's habits. Lt. Col. Dave shares simple changes we can make to create a big impact, not just in our children's lives but also in our own.

Joe Biden made the statement recently that Law Enforcement Officers should deescalate situations by shooting people in the leg. Do you agree? Should Police officers train to shoot people in the leg? It's a fair question.In this episode of the Livingston Parish Thread, I discuss some of my thoughts and I refer to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Loren W. Christensen's book “On Combat.” – The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and Peace. Grossman is a former Army Ranger, Paratrooper, West Point Psychology Professor and author of the classic book, On Killing. Grossman is currently the Director of Killology Research Group and one of the world's foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the psychology of combat. 

When we think of our kids being well-groomed, we think of issues tending to physical hygiene and dress; some things at least parents have some control over. Or to help our kids gain control over. There is grooming going on with our kids today that many of them, or their parents, are not even aware of. It's the grooming that builds appetites in our kids; violent and sexual appetites built by the constant consumption of violent and sexually explicit video games, movies, and other forms of entertainment. It's said, “you are what you eat.” Well, what we consume with our eyes and our ears shapes what we become too, and in ways you would never have imagined. Don't think that your inability to ever imagine your child to become a violent killer or sexual pervert makes this ugly possibility an impossibility. Besides, how far down that path are you willing to go as a parent, and how do you know when you've crossed the point of no return? Violent tendencies and sexual perversion do creep up incrementally. Grooming our kids for love and not violence - this is what License to Parent with special Guest Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman discuss today. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, currently the Director of the Killology Research Group. He is also a retired US Army Ranger, a paratrooper, and a former West Point Psychology Professor. He has a Black Belt in Hojutsu, the martial art of the firearm, and has been inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman is a retired US Army Ranger and paratrooper, and a former West Point Psychology Professor. He is also the director of the Killology Research Group and actually developed the term “killology,” considered the study of the psychological and physiological effects of killing and combat on the human psyche.Anyone in law enforcement and/or the military know Lt Col Grossman for his work on studying combat and killing specifically. Lt Col Grossman I was so pumped to interview Lt Col Dave Grossman as I've been following his work for years. As a new officer and after a major incident, it was suggested to me to read his work On Combat. It was the first book I had ever read that talked about phenomenons such as PTSD, stress, combat breathing, auditory exclusion, and much more. The book really helped me grapple with things that I was dealing with at the time, and made me more resilient.

In this episode I talk to Lt Col Dave Grossman. Dave, has five patents to his name, has published four novels, two childrens' books, and six non-fiction books to include his “perennial bestseller” On Killing (with over half a million copies sold). He is also has a New York Times best-selling book co-authored with Glenn Beck. His books are “required” or “recommended” reading in all four branches of the US Armed forces, and in federal and local law enforcement academies nationwide. He was a US Army Ranger, a paratrooper, and a former West Point Psychology Professor. In this episode I explore with Dave three main topics, namely,  Why is violence in western society misreported We explore many facets of self reliance As well as some examples of self reliance in action You can find out more about Dave at: https://www.killology.com/ (https://www.killology.com/)

I asked a group of our SHA kids how many had armed guards in their schools. About 75%—80% of their hands went up. Several more knew a school near them where a shooting had happened; and, one student had a shooting take place in the very school she attended. I can jog to a school from where we sit right now that had a shooting just a couple of years ago. And, in the late 90s, I went to church with a family, who's kid would play all kinds of crazy music in our church parking lot after almost every service. About a year later this kid went on a shooting rampage in our small town, killing at least one person, shooting it out with police and then leading a police-chase all the way to the Florida line--about a 300-mile trek. And, when they caught him, I was watching him being arrested by Florida police on my TV screen in little Martin, GA. Col. Dave Grossman is a US Army Ranger, a paratrooper, and a former West Point Psychology Professor. He has a Black Belt in Hojutsu, the martial art of the firearm, and has been inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Col. Grossman's research was cited by the President of the United States in a national address, and he has testified before the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Congress, and numerous state legislatures. Since his retirement from the US Army in 1998, he has been on the road almost 300 days a year, for over 19 years, as one of our nation's leading trainers for military, law enforcement, mental health providers, and school safety organizations. The Missing Link in Teen Violence Col. Dave Grossman recently released a book entitled Assassination Generation, which he presented to the President and Senators during a meeting following the Parkland shooting. He also has several other books, including New York Best Sellers that have yet to have a single review. So why is that? The media certainly filters out the information that doesn't match with their own agenda. One thing they are all invested in is that anything harmful can come through media. The violent stories, imagery and video games are said to have no impact on our society. The commercials are worth billions of dollars! But Psalms 11 says God hates lovers of violence. Very rarely does the Bible discuss God hating. We need to take that very seriously. If we as parents love violent tv shows and movies, how do we train our children to love the things that God loves? Who do we really worship and who have we given our children to? Another adverse effect that we aren't discussing as a culture is sleep deprivation. It's an epidemic across our entire civilization. In fact, one of the results of sleep deprivation can include schizophrenic episodes. Hallucinations can also occur after three days without sleep. Sleep deprivation appears to be the greatest predictor of suicide in our kids. In the military, suicides occur due to sleep deprivation, not combat. A non-combat vet is just as likely to commit suicide as a combat vet. Sleep deprivation is the missing link. In fact, a sleep-deprived person can be up to 5 times more likely to take their life. 18 hours without sleep and your impaired judgment are equal to .08 legally drunk. 24 hours your impaired judgment is equal to .10 legally drunk. Two nights without sleep and you are psychotic. When you send your kid to bed at night, take their cell phones! No laptop in their room. When they go to their bedroom they need to sleep. The texts and the images that are sent to your child's phone at all hours can't just be “turned off” in their minds if the phone is in the room. They will be up all hours of the night trying to defend themselves, finding someone to stand with them. If we as parents can't ignore that text message in the middle of the night, how do we expect our kids to? I spoke to a parent who had a daughter, straight-A student and very smart who told him “you can trust me to have my phone.” So he did. Not long after, his daughter committed suicide.
