My lovely bride, the Evil Princess of Podcasts, Pixels, and Polymer Pistols admonishes me that in all my Christmas gift recommendations, I haven\u2019t mentioned anything of mine. OK, total disclosure: self-serving stuff follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My updated Second Edition of the book \u201cDeadly Force\u201d just came out from the Gun Digest Book people. The updates include deep dives into the lessons to all of us from some recent high-profile shooting cases, such as the Rittenhouse incident in Kenosha, Wisconsin and the Aubery shooting in Georgia, and why<\/em> the one ended in a total acquittal of murder charges and the other in total conviction.\u00a0 You can get it from Amazon<\/a>, maybe just in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As many of you know, my primary day job is teaching self-defense to law-abiding citizens through MAG, the Massad Ayoob Group.\u00a0 We have finally posted our 2023 schedule, most of it anyway, at http<\/a>s<\/a>:\/\/massadayoobgroup.com<\/a>.\u00a0 The listings will show which classes I will be teaching personally, and which will be taught by our highly capable staff, but you\u2019ll see that we have them scheduled all over the continental US.\u00a0 (While we\u2019ve done Hawaii and Alaska in the past, as well as some foreign countries, it won\u2019t be this year; between classes and trials where I\u2019ll be speaking as an expert witness, the schedule is pretty full.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you get it from me or another instructor, training is a gift that lasts forever, and it\u2019s something you can even give in the form of a promise to send the recipient to the school of choice, or at least pay their tuition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My lovely bride, the Evil Princess of Podcasts, Pixels, and Polymer Pistols admonishes me that in all my Christmas gift recommendations, I haven\u2019t mentioned anything of mine.
