In a few very short years these guys went from a table at the end of an upstairs hallway to a literal presence on the SHOT exhibit floor. I'm proud to know these guys and many who've been there over the years. They continue to offer a product lineup short on fluff and long on function. This was also the show where I got to see and handle an early JSTA pouch. The acronym is Spiritus Systems

Unicorn Spiritus Systems NV-119 probably sewn in Adam's garage, with P210s, , and was my go to setup for summer Class B (polo) events a few years back. I still keep this setup prepped for wear on hot days when an outer carrier isn't required. I later had side pockets custom made for IIIA 5x9s by my friend .

So, do course development or wrench on guns?
If you've ever tried to effect change at your organization and felt like your words fell on deaf ears, you're not remotely alone. The condition of being a prophet in your own land is as old as time.. it's at least as old as Plato. Understanding what you're up against is important. Here's a little reading assignment to help you on your way: Plato's "Allegory of The Cave" is essential reading on the road to understanding institutional resistance to change, especially when the change involves objective truth over assumption and perception. Happy reading.

Here's real talk for you: Stop wasting money on blood type patches. The ED staff are never going to see your kit and even if you had your blood type tattooed across your forehead, it wouldn't matter. They're still going to type & screen you and hang O- on you until your labs come back.

Who is this guy?
I'm a 20 year resident of Oklahoma. I'm a SWAT, Advanced SWAT, and Counter Terrorism trained LEO. I've been a SWAT team leader for a County special operations team. I've served as a department Armorer, Instructor, and Training Coordinator. I'm immensely fortunate to be an adjunct LE Counter Terror instructor at Direct Action Resource Center. I'm a contract instructor for State's Anti Terror Assistance Program for CRT/QRF & SPEAR. I've taught as a peer trainer in the Army, as a seminar presenter, as an adjunct university professor, and private/contract instructor for over 25 years. I've learned from & with some of the best people on the planet. And I bet I can throw a football over them mountains. Well, maybe not that last part... probably.
I love teaching. I love the challenge of teaching a group of people who all learn differently, and adapting my approach to those various learning styles. I want good people to be harder to kill, and to be better servants to their communities. I hope I get to share the range or shoothouse with you sometime.
