Protective Pets?

-

Millions of Americans have Pets, why not?  They help relieve stress after a long drawn out day from work.  Dog owners know how it feels to come home to someone who appreciates them even if they have 4 legs and a destructive tail when the house isn't puppy proofed yet.
Or the cuddliness of a cat when they need some warmth.  
Let's face it, pets just make us feel loved and we love them back!

How do we protect them in a home invasion?  Well, your four-legged feline friend will most likely check out and hide anywhere they can to avoid the conflict/noise.

Your dog on the other hand will be confused and most likely will get behind you, no matter what breed you have and cower a little unless it possesses a leader of the pack mentality is ready to defend you. Most pet breeds are in calm loving homes, and any noise gets them rattled.

If you have a firearm in the home you may want to consider having your dog trained to stay in a safe area until the chaos is done.  A command only you and the pet knows is the best.  To accomplish this, you may want to consider a dog trainer who specializes in K-9 training.
When choosing this place in your home, you may want to consider a spot in each room, pending upon where you are when you hear the door being bashed in or glass breaking.
Also, some dogs may just respond and not hear your commands, you must be able to have some control so they do not get hurt during a very trying time.


Keep yourself safe and your pets as well.
More on this and the names of trainers as I can find them for you.

Carry one in the Chamber? If not, you could be setting yourself up for disaster!

 Have you ever put the seatbelt on during an accident?  Well, that would be the case of having a full magazine with no round in the chamber.  How do you get used to carrying a firearm?  Well, for one, you can start by carrying one on you in the comfort of your own home, getting used to sitting, walking, using the restroom, etc.   Carry it on your person as if you were in public, careful not to bring attention to it by touching it all the time, adjusting your pants, etc.   Conceal it the best way you can, and find the right tools to do so by looking at comfortable, sturdy options, a leather-backed holster with Kydex formed to fit your firearm brings you all-day comfort.  I chose Crossbreed Holsters for my main concealed carry holster option.   I also use other types of holsters for how I dress. There are good options out there, but finding one for your needs is a task for you and you alone. I, nor anyone else can tell you what works best for you and eventually, you will have a drawer o

Where do we start you off?  If you tell me you have been shooting and have taken classes before, we ask which ones and which affiliation have you taken them from. NRA? USCCA? Brand X, or BIG BOX INDOOR RANGE PLACE?  I have typically 2 basic courses for anyone to start out at, even as a refresher for those who have been shooting and taught by a friend or family member, trust me, you will learn something here that they could not have taught you unless they took a class with us and remembered everything we teach, or they themselves have been a firearms instructor and know what I know.  I have been to many instructors/schools/training facilities and know what they do not teach.  -prices shown are at the time of this article, prices may have increased due to rising costs- Pistol Fundamentals, or Women's Pistol Fundamentals-  $175 6-hour course 1) Safety Rules, 2) Handgun Anatomy 3) Action Types 4) Ammunition types/storage 5) Sight Alignment 6) Trigger Cycle 7) Gear & Gadgets 8) Rang

  House of Worship Training How is your House of Worship Team's Health? Are they trained to do more than look for an active shooter?  Where is the focus on the security for your congregation, youth groups, and leaders? Do they do ongoing training with a Certified Instructor?  Do you have enough Volunteers for your Greeter/Usher/Security Team? Do you have armed security?  Have they qualified with a Firearms Instructor for Insurance Purposes? Are they Insured in the event they need to use their firearm?  Personally Insured or does the House of Worship Insurance Cover these volunteers?  At Shamar's Shield, a division of Gunpowder & Lead Firearms Training, we help re-establish the Greeter/Security/Usher Team, and make it manageable.  We offer a few programs.  1) Ongoing Training for 1 year, including 4 In-person HOW training, 26 Zoom meetings for your team to train on subjects, 2 days at the range and 2 days in the HOW for Reality-Based Training utilizing SIRT (inert weapons),
