I'm putting the finishing touches on a lesson for tomorrow about The Lion of Judah. I landed on the Beatitudes just now and God nudged me to post this as a reminder of whom he blesses:
"One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.
- God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
- God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
- God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.
- God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.
- God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
- God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
- God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
- God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way."
Matthew 5:1-12 (NLT)
I originally posted this in 2021 when reloading components were tough to find. Things have changed. Components are now plentiful. If you haven't started reloading, you should.
In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
I ordered this for use in a Taser class I'm putting together for citizens and security. I like it so much that I'll probably keep it. My wife is thinking about getting one too. Pretty cool. I'll put a video together for you next week.
Dave Weiner (Police Chief Ret) and I are teaching the Active Shooter Response Course at Practical Defense Systems in San Diego today. Should be a great class with lots of time in the simulator!

1. The Second Amendment does NOT protect the rights of privileged classes of people. It protects the rights of ALL Americans.
2. The main purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect the rights and capabilities of the people to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
3. Police officers are government employees who are paid and empowered to enforce the dictates of government. They are government agents.
4. Given the above, carving out a special privilege of nationwide concealed carry for government agents while denying the constitutionally protected rights of regular Americans to carry nationally stands in direct opposition to the intention of our founders and the purpose and goal of the Second Amendment.
