The Sixth Amendment guarantees one's right to a speedy trial, including in self-defense cases. Read about how that can work to your advantage with the right lawyer.

Put in some work at the range today: 250 rounds total. About 200 rounds of speed shooting and failure drills, followed by 50 rounds of strong-hand-only and weak-hand-only shooting.

For those of you reading this thinking, “I need to get to the range” or “It’s been a while since I’ve shot”… GO. No excuses. Just go. Grab your gear and get after it!

Test yourself. Push your limits. Work on the things that challenge you. The goal is simple: leave the range 1% better than you were when you walked in. That 1% adds up over time.

And if you’re not confident with your defensive handgun, invest in some training. Take a class or reach out to me about a private session. A private session won’t be cheap, but you’ll leave with more confidence in your ability to handle your defensive handgun—and that confidence is worth the investment.

Stay safe, keep training, and DO THE HOMEWORK. 💪🎯

This weekend I had the opportunity to attend the Massad Ayoob Group MAG-20 course in Slidell, LA, and it was a great experience!

This was probably my 6th or 7th training course of the year, but only my 3rd that wasn't instructor-level training, and my first non-instructor-level shooting course. Even though I teach an average of 3–4 days a week (sometimes 5–6 classes in a week), I still consider myself a student, and I always will.

I'm constantly looking for new challenges and ways to improve, both as a shooter and as an instructor. Those of you who have trained with me more than once know that the training I offer gets a little different and more polished every year. That doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of a lot of studying, practicing, training, and putting in the work behind the scenes.

One of the things I really enjoyed about this weekend was getting to put the instructor hat down for a couple of days and just be a student again. I picked up several things that worked well for me, especially as I'm getting older. Things change! Techniques that worked great when I was younger can become more challenging when you've got five tears between your shoulders and your eye dominance starts switching to your off eye. 😂

Now comes the hard part: putting in the work over the next few months to make these new concepts second nature. That's what training is all about. You never stop learning, adapting, and finding ways to get better.

I'm looking forward to training with these gentlemen again, and I'm already watching for the schedule for the MAG-30 course dates. When they announce it, I'll be signing up that day!

For anyone interested in taking the MAG-20, it's a two-day, 500-round stress-fire course. If we can get enough people together, they'll host a class specifically for our group. I'd be more than happy to take it again, so reach out if you're interested!

Never get so comfortable teaching that you forget what it's like to be a student. There's always something to learn and always room to improve.

Keep training! 💪🎯

💥 LET’S SETTLE A DEBATE… WHAT COUNTS AS A STOCKPILE? 💥

I recently had a conversation with someone who told me they have a stockpile of 3,000 rounds of 5.56 am******on.
My first thought? 😂 In my world, that’s not even close to a stockpile! I could probably scrounge up that much just digging through random magazines and ammo cans.
But it got me thinking… what does the word “stockpile” actually mean to everyone else? 🤔
Is it 500 rounds? 1,000? 5,000? 10,000+? Or does it depend on what you shoot and how often you train?
👇 DROP YOUR ANSWER IN THE COMMENTS!
I want to hear what YOU consider a stockpile. No judgment, no wrong answers… just curious where everyone draws the line! 🇺🇸
And be honest… are you a “couple boxes on the shelf” kind of person, or an “I should probably buy another safe just for the ammo” kind of person? 😂

🔥 LET’S SEE HOW WELL AI KNOWS YOU! 🤔
Here’s a fun challenge I want everyone to try! 👇
Open ChatGPT and ask it this exact question:
“Based on everything you know about me, give me a layout photo of what my everyday carry (EDC) items would be.”
📸 Let AI put together a picture of the stuff it thinks you carry every day based on your conversations, personality, job, hobbies, and lifestyle.
Then post your results in the comments! 👇
I want to see who gets a scary-accurate result and who gets completely roasted by their own AI! 😂
💥 BONUS CHALLENGE: Share your picture and tell us how accurate it was from 1–10!
Tag a friend who needs to try this! Let’s see what everyone's AI thinks they carry. 🇺🇸

Here's mine: I'd give it a 8 out of 10. The only thing in this picture that I don't carry either on me or in my laptop bag is the pepper spray. I do carry a different gun and thats not my logo obviously, but everything else is spot on!

15/10/2026

I made the decision to go with option A for the new logo. We teach so much more than just fi****ms that I didn't want the logo to be too specific to only that. Thanks to everyone for weighing in! Option B will likely make its way onto a T-shirt or a sticker in the future!

Hey Facebook! I'm adopting a new logo and I've narrowed it down to the two in the photo below. I like them both and although I personally think B looks the coolest...it may be a bit too focused on fi****ms. I already have the crosshairs on it and don't want to take away from the fact that in addition to fi****ms training we also regularly conduct First Aid, CPR & AED training, Verbal and Physical Behavior Management training, Taser training, Active Shooter training, and more. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Give me the pros and cons or just pick your favorite!
