II. TOPIC SYNOPSIS:

Most presentations are designed specifically for each group based upon their individual organizational goals or interests. Several programs have become very popular and have been requested numerous times. Following is a synopsis of the most popular presentations.

1.) The American Path:
This is actually a reading of the first magazine article I did for Guns Australia magazine. It proved so popular that I was invited to be a contributing author for that publication. It will be the first featured article on the PUBLICATIONS web page. Which you can read for yourself.

2.) Force Policies, Into the Next Century:
This 4-6 hour seminar is a historical view of the use of force by law enforcement, prominant court litigations and a formula for future trends for suspect control and maintaining civil order by law enforcement. It calls for and requires strict standards in the field for both the instructor and officer.

3.) The 20th Century Shotgun:
Do you own a shotgun for self defense? In all likelihood the gun you have is actually no more than 19th century sporting goods. This seminar provides you with the exact requirements that makes the shotgun a true weapon and not just nifty looking bird guns.

4.) The Elusive Carbine:
More and more people and law enforcement agencies are adding medium powered rifles to their self defense arsenal. This program describes the various configurations of the so-called carbine and how to make selections based upon your mission objectives.

5.) Tactical Firearms Safety:
What must be done when the gun is always loaded and there is no such thing as a safe direction? Add to it the stress factor and you can have an accident looking for a place to happen. The only problem there is no such thing as an accidental discharge of a firearm. You are responsible for 100% of the rounds you fire. Shooting the gun is either justified, negligent or criminal. This program is a step-by-step method for handling the gun under stress in the real world.

6.) Integrated Firearms Training®
Designing firearms training programs which focus equally on developing the operators gun handling skills, marksmanship skills and tactical skills. It also provides non-contradictory techniques which can be equally applied to both handguns and long guns without requiring complicated methods that fail under survival stress. It is the basis for all Top-Gun firearm training programs.
