“Hey man, I told you. You can have my wallet. No! Stop! Stop!”
“Somebody call the police!” Alright everybody, I’m headed off to the
Alright everybody, I'm headed of to the range!
What am I forgetting? Oh, yeah.
I need my lunch pail. Alright.
DON’T BE THAT GUY
Alright, seriously… I am not going to the range like this.
This is ahh… this is what we call Captain Douche. And…
Here’s the thing. Tomahawks are cool, but if you don’t wear
a tomahawk, or a plate carrier, or a straight knife, or all of this cool tactical gear…
Don’t go to the range with it every time you shoot.
The thing we want to impress on you is if you wear slacks and a button down to work
and that’s how you’re carrying, you should be training in that.
If you wear a mechanics uniform, or a $10,000 suit, that’s what you should be training
in if that’s what you carry. Don’t show up to the range dressed like
this to take a concealed carry class. Don’t show up to the range every time to
train dressed like this. If you own this stuff and want to learn how
to use it. Sure, go shake it out. Make sure you know
how to use it. Don’t put it on every time you go to the
range. Don’t be Captain Douche.
We’re not telling you, walk around your house in your pajamas with guns, but what
we’re again trying to tell you… This is the kind of environment, where you
live, where you are most likely to encounter some type of violent attack: Home invasion,
burglary, something like that…. That being the case, this is the place you
should be training in. Again, don’t be training in full-tactical kit.
We’ve got guys that have precision rifles. They could out to a 1,000 meters.
That’s where they spend their time training, which is great if that’s what you want to
do, but that doesn’t make you any safer in the home.
You need to start thinking about how to train inside the house and train with what you are wearing.
So we are out at the range today. We are continuing
with this thought process of training with the clothes you live and work in every day.
So today I’m running a regular suit here. Got my concealed carry weapon, the Glock 19
that you see in most of our videos. Got a spare, on-board magazine.
The only other thing I’m going to have on now other than what you see is eye protection
and ear protection because I don’t want to lose either of those training.
Again, think through this stuff, as your working. Don’t spend all of your training time with
full kit on. Don’t spend all your training time with combat boots, knee pads, plate carriers,
and all that jazz. It’s wonderful stuff, but if this is how
you live. If this is your daily attire, train in that.
Don’t want to get your suit dirty? Put it on and take it out the day before you take
it to the dry cleaners and see how it actually works.
See how your dress shoes allow you to move around. Are you going to slip and fall?
You need to think about these things. If you actually have to run and fight, make
sure your clothes are up to that task.
Ok, ready?... rolling
Do it again.
Do it one more time.
Cool.
I’m going to grab a fresh magazine.
Hey buddy, I told you. You can have my wallet. No, no, no!
Hey man, I told you. I’ll give you my wallet. No, no, no!
Somebody call the police!
Hoah!
So we showed you a little taste of what it looks like to run in what we call, unconventional
range clothes. Did the 5.56 pistol. We worked out of our Glock a little bit today.
Again, what we are going to might be unconventional clothes for the range, but they are probably
conventional clothes depending on your job. We’ve said it earlier. If you are a delivery
driver, train in those clothes. If you are a banker, a baker, a dancer, whatever you’re
going to be out and about in your daily attire… train in those clothes.

use them, learn from them, and I hope if you have questions you’ll pass them on.
Train hard. Train safe.
