List of Skills and Training Competitions
The 2008 Competition season is underway. So far there have been some great events. Here's the list of the 2008 skills and training competitons.

Preparation
Years ago long before our time there were individuals who wore armor, carried a shield and various weapons. Those men joined a team and agreed to protect the kingdom at any costs. They took an oath, prepared for battle and were willing to give the ultimate sacrifice. Those men are now gone.

But those same warriors exist today and they are the men and women of American Law Enforcement the modern day warrior. You wear armor, carry a shield or star on your uniform and train with various weapons to protect the kingdom which is now called a community. From the first day you wore the uniform and took the oath of office you knew that there were people who would want to hurt or kill you but you accepted that challenge. The only question that remains; are you truly prepared for battle?

Preparation not only exits to protect the community but yourself and most important your family. You will be replaced at work but never at home.

A simple preparation question that I use on a continual basis while instructing various courses I now ask you. When you go home at night do you draw your firearm? I usually receive approximately 10 % who acknowledge they do. For whatever the reason; family security or practice it must happen. You may work all day or even a few days and never draw your firearm and if that's true you failed to practice. During a deadly force encounter without hesitation you must break leather to survive. You may never get a second chance to draw for the first time prepare so it works the first time.Continue with the article.
