I had a whole 18 months experience, an inadequate academy, and a laughable FTO program behind me when I was called to assist with a big disturbance. We decided we’d take the ringleaders away, but they… demurred. I wound up straddling one fella’s back. Sweat and blood made it hard to cuff him. It got harder when the man’s brother jumped on my back and began punching me in the ear. He then tried to get my gun from its holster, first with one hand, then with both.

Multiple sources (or a handful of sources repeated multiple times, I can’t tell) are reporting that a number of Russian drone operators have been killed or wounded by booby-trapped (explosive) FPV drone goggles. It’s a move reminiscent of what the Israelis did with Hezbollah pagers and cell phones in September of last year. Hard to believe that is a coincidence…Anyway, I first spotted the story on @saintjavelin.

Some LEO agencies inexplicably still limit authorization of pistol lights to specialty units (too aggressive looking!) Some gun owners and CCW types continue to argue against the advantage of a pistol light for concealed carry for reasons…well, reasons — other than concealment difficulties inherent in the WML’s added geometry — that continue to escape me.

Here’s something a little different and kind of cool. Lots of people make special morale patches and decals to hand out or trade at SHOT Show. This year instead of my friend David Reeder from Breach-Bang-Clear teamed up with a company called Bad Moon Armory to pass out little flashbang-shaped whiskey flasks. The body is a food-grade medal with 3D printed caps. The spoon is also polymer, but the pin is metal. You can pull the pin if you want, but you don’t have to.

David Reeder, a writer/editor in the firearm/gear/tactical area (and a sometime Soldier Systems Daily contributor), recently reached out to let me know of a fundraiser he is helping run. His site, Breach-Bang-Clear, is working with some of our generous friends in the industry to conduct an online raffle. All the proceeds benefit an equine rescue in NE Oklahoma. Dave himself is one of their team of volunteers.
BLUF: Anti-fun social media/tech platforms have all but throttled the fundraiser.

The web is a very competitive place, where most of us are fighting to stand out from the crowd. There is also a level of distrust, afterall it is easy for scammers to set up a website or social media account, so building trust with your audience is essential. Users will also, typically be in a rush and spend only a matter of seconds scanning a product or service page, so it becomes even more essential to quickly make a good impression so they hang around and consider buying from you.
