As a defensive weapons and tactics instructor John Farnam will urge you, based on your own beliefs, to make up your mind in advance as to what you would do when faced with an imminent and unlawful lethal threat. You should, of course, also decide what preparations you should make in advance, if any. Defense Training International wants to make sure that their students fully understand the physical, legal, psychological, and societal consequences of their actions or inactions.
It is our duty to make you fully aware of certain unpleasant physical realities intrinsic to the Planet Earth. Mr. Farnam is happy to be your counselor and advisor, but once he is satisfied that you are adequately cognizant of the perils indigenous to this world and the options available to deal with them, he will leave you to make the hard decisions for yourself.
With that in mind, let us confront some unpleasant realities:
It is difficult for non-criminals
to conceive of the depths of depravity to which some of their fellow
human beings have
sunk and the wanton savagery of which they are apparently capable.
However, we must all, in our own way, come to terms with the reality of
evil and its animated presence in sociopathic personalities.
Our response can range from myopic pacifism to precipitous over-reaction. Neither extreme is desirable. A carefully planned, prepared and controlled stratagem, consistent with one’s own personal beliefs, is usually the best solution.
John S. Farnam, president of Defensive Training International, is considered the top handgun instructor in the nation. He has personally trained thousands of federal, state and local law enforcement personnel as well as civilians in the tactical use of firearms. In addition, he has authored three books on the subject -- "The Farnam Method of Defensive Handgunning," "The Farnam Method of Defensive Shotgun and Rifle Shooting" and "The Street Smart Gun Book".
Each year John and his wife Vicki travel across the country teaching the latest concepts in defensive marksmanship and tactics.
Courses are available for a variety
of defensive weapons and situations.
