The George Soroses and Chicago mayors of the world \u2013 the people who don\u2019t want ordinary people to even own defensive firearms \u2013 have phalanxes of bodyguards. Us po\u2019 folks are on our own. We have to be our own bodyguards, for ourselves and our loved ones.<\/p>\n
It follows that we could benefit from knowing what bodyguards know. The leading private sector bodyguard school has long been ESI, Executive Security International, founded and still led by Bob Duggan.<\/p>\n
ESI is hosting a seminar on the weekend of August 6 and 7, 2011 at Caesar\u2019s Palace in Las Vegas. Attendees will hear from Elijah Shaw, who provides protective services to a constellation of stars and celebrities. What he knows would be invaluable to any stalking or harassment victim, or anyone protecting such a potential victim.<\/p>\n
Security in the wake of natural disasters is a concern much on point today, and Chris Parkerson specializes in that. He\u2019ll be lecturing at the event also, as part of a roundtable that will include Craig Gundry of Critical Intervention Services, and David Dick, who Duggan points out \u201cwas a First Responder at 9\/11, Japan\u2019s Tsunami and the Joplin, MO tornado.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel Johnson specializes in preventing and dealing with extortion, kidnapping, and even piracy. He and his team have had a part in resolving more than a hundred such events around the world. He\u2019ll be teaching, along with security expert Pete Dordal. I\u2019ll be lecturing on things to watch out for in the legal aftermath of using force to protect others.<\/p>\n
