There will be a KM article in SWAT magazine next month. Don’t know who it is by or if it will be any good but go to Barns and Noble, look for the Soldier of Fortune section and pick up a SWAT magazine and take a look…..

There’s a \”soldier of fortune\” section at Barnes and Nobles? 😆
Sounds like fun, I’ll check it out!
Okay, found the article! Turns out, it was quite informative. For example, I had no idea that Jon Pascal was routinely referred to as \”Satan\”. 😯
There were two interesting pictures. On the first, the defender has made a gun takeaway and is now in a \”defensive position\”, but he lies on the ground, with his legs spread apart, pointing the gun sideways at a kneeling suspect (who seems to be pretending to hold another gun). What was the context there?
The other showed an attacker with a gun mounted on the victim. Do we actually have a specific defense for that situation? Redirect, then trap and roll, take the gun? Shoot the guy, if you are in the guard and can’t make distance?
They also talk about gun retention techniques. How do they work? While they would be generally more important for officers to learn, I was wondering if we could ever do them in regular class. Just in case I’m the good guy with the gun and the bad guy tries to take it (or tries to get it back after I have taken it from him, before I’m able to get away).
Giant, yeah, in Barnes and Noble the \”soldier of fortune\” is right next to the \”international drug lord\” section.
Of course, in Borders, they simply call it the \”mercenary\” section. They like to simplify things.
