[CLEAN] Part 2 of 2 of the interview with Dan Abbott at the Oregon Firearms Academy. If you missed Part 1 of the interview, be sure and check out episode 074 of the Self-Defense Show first. We continue our general overview of firearms in the role of aiding you in a lethal self-defense encounter. What mindset / attitude is best when handling a firearm? When can it actually hurt your chances in a dire situation? We explore many preliminary topics in this final part of our interview. Be sure to check out Dan's website www.OregonFirearmsAcademy.com for more information on their classes and training. You will find his email on that site as well.

[CLEAN] We interview Dan Abbott from the Oregon Firearms Academy. This is the first of two parts to the interview. Part 2 will be on Self-Defense Show episode 075. In the interview with Dan, we discuss all kinds of topics involving self-defense and firearms. Are firearms good for self-defense? What are the pros and cons to owning a firearm? What are some of the other issues that arise after deciding to carry or use a firearm for self-defense? These are some of the questions covered in this interview. As you will hear, Dan and his crew at the Oregon Firearms Academy are pretty knowledgeable about their subject. Christie and I learned a lot from him already! Now we just need to find a way to fly out there and take a week long extreme firearms course! Ahhhh, maybe in 2009! Please feel free to contact the Oregon Firearms Academy through their website www.OregonFirearmsAcademy.com. We would like to thank Dan for spending over 2 hours of his valuable time with us and our listene

[CLEAN] We interview Dr. Steven J. Pearlman, author of The Book of Martial Power. We discuss the principals at the heart of every martial arts style. We also talk about how these martial principals can help ordinary people against violent crime. Another interesting topic discussed was why and how martial arts has become less pragmatic over the centuries in regards to its original war applications. Dr. Pearlman offers a very unique and wise opinions that serve to expand our understanding. Although this episode dives into the technicalities of physical responses, and is a bit more martial arts heavy then what we normally go into, we believe understanding what Dr. Pearlman teaches can be very beneficial to a martial arts practitioner who wishes to enhance their fundamental knowledge. Our thanks to Dr. Pearlman for spending his valuable time and wisdom with us.

[CLEAN] Ready, Set, Go... Violence Vocals are the topics of this 72nd episode of the Self-Defense Show. Before we dive into that topic, we answer a general question asked to us on the DefenseChat.com message boards. Why did we leave the traditional martial arts world and do what we do now? Ready, Set, Go are three stages of vocal (and semi-physical) responses to verbal aggression. This episode is a continuation and/or extension of the topics discussed in episode 065. So if you haven't heard that one, be sure and listen to it first. As always, please keep in touch with us, as we love emailing and talking with all our listeners... even if they are critical of our views.

[CLEAN] We talk about 3 violence stories in the news recently. In the first story, a women and her boyfriend are verbally and physically assaulted on a public bus by a group of teenagers. The second story is about a father in the UK who fights back against armed home invaders to save his children. Finally, we read a letter from a wife who predicted her own murder by her husband by way of poisoning. There is some mild PG-13 language a couple of times, but it is as a quote from a news story. Don't forgot to check out after the music for a little extra material. Thanks so much to all our listeners... and please keep in touch and voice your opinions!

[MOSTLY CLEAN] We review the book "Lucky" by Alice Sebold. Except for one explicit yet non-gratuitous quote from the book, the language in this episode is clean. The main part of the show is a bit shorter then normal just because we were pressed for time. However, there is some good bonus "recorded in the car" stuff after the ending music to fill out the hour. In the book, Alice Sebold tells her story of how she was raped and all the repercussion of that violent act on her life. This is an extremely well done book that allows people who have never been sexually assaulted to understand a little bit better what it is like. We really hope all women, but especially all men read this gripping, yet ultimately inspiring true story of a strong women who survived a rape to become a stronger women. After the ending music we have some bonus material for you. I talk about some questions that were recently asked to me by a person who has a stalker. I give some basic advice that serves as

[CLEAN] At last! Talk of physical resistance (offensive) techniques!!! I know you all out there have been waiting for it. Now, here it is. After 68 previous episodes on all kinds of other violence protection issues, I feel there is finally enough in the can to go ahead and talk about this over emphasized subject. Now it's in the correct proportion to the other topics covered. 1/69th of effective self-defense is physical offense techniques! LOL Well, sort of. Anyway, Charles is alone on this episode so brace yourselves for a lecture way over an hour again. Charles reviews 12 physical tactics that can be used to cause emergency room level injuries to your assailant in order for you to escape or to stop the threat. This episode goes very well with episode 028 in which we discuss Non-Combative Techniques, and episode 042 where we talk about defensive / protective techniques. With the 028, 042, 069 episode combo, you should have generally all the techniques you will ever need..

[CLEAN] We talk about the 30 warning signs of an abusive boyfriend or husband. Not all abusive partners have these signs, but most do. And abusers don't need to have all of these characteristics either. However, if a partner does show several of these traits, it should raise your concern. If they show most of these signs, that should be a huge red flag. We use Gavin De Becker's The Gift of Fear book for our discussion reference here. This is a highly effective book that everyone should read... literally! We apologize for the lower then normal sound quality on this episode. We recorded it while driving in our car to a SuperBowl party. We wanted to make sure you got your episode this week, so we squeezed it in when we could.

[CLEAN] We pick off wear episode 066 left off. This is a continuation of the police traffic stop topic from last episode. We also talk about police interactions in general, and what to do if a tricky police officer is trying to get into your house without proper authorization. The ultimate goal being how to ensure that your legal rights aren't violated in interactions with the police. Not that the police are bad or the enemy, but they are going to play the game towards their agenda, and knowing the rules allows you to keep them in check when they bend the rules.

[CLEAN] What do you do if the police pull you over in a traffic stop? How can you assert your rights and maximize your legal survival? What things should you say and do, and maybe more importantly, what things should you NOT say or do? Knowing your legal rights in a traffic stop helps you avoid violation. Understanding what the officer is thinking also smooths your interaction with them. This is the first in a 2 or 3 (we're not sure yet) part series that will inform you of all the ins and outs of being pulled over by the police.nnContact us with the following information:nnNEW VOICEMAIL NUMBER: 206-973-7900 (Skype-in)nnWebsite: www.SelfDefenseShow.comnnCHECKOUT OUR WORDPRESS BLOG FOR LOTS OF GOOD NEWS STORIES:nhttp://selfdefenseshow.wordpress.comnnEmail: SelfDefense@mac.comnnForums: www.DefenseChat.comnnInteresting Links: http://del.icio.us/selfdefenseshownnSkype Name: selfdefenseshownnLive Hotline (Skype-In): 206-973-7900nnDownload Episodes Directly:nhttp://idisk.m

[CLEAN] Interview with Matt Thomas, creator of Model Mugging, and grandfather of adrenal stress training. How did we get so damn lucky? I'm not sure, but this was a great big treat for us personally. I'm just glad we recorded it so you guys could hear.

[CLEAN] Violence Vocals is the topic in this 65th episode of the Self-Defense Show. When you find yourself in a verbal altercation, what are the ways in which you can respond? Out of those ways, which why will be your best bet in keeping the argument from going into physical violence? Christie and I model several different verbal altercations for you, showing you the pros and cons of each method. We detail some of the principals underlying an effective high-risk communication. Because when you can steer the conflict away from physical violence, that's the best self-defense of all!nnContact us with the following information:nnNEW VOICEMAIL NUMBER: 206-973-7900 (Skype-in)nnWebsite: www.SelfDefenseShow.comnnCHECKOUT OUR WORDPRESS BLOG FOR LOTS OF GOOD NEWS STORIES:nhttp://selfdefenseshow.wordpress.comnnEmail: SelfDefense@mac.comnnForums: www.DefenseChat.comnnInteresting Links: http://del.icio.us/selfdefenseshownnSkype Name: selfdefenseshownnLive Hotline (Skype-In): 206

Sure, we have been lazy, but there is another excuse sure to sooth your Self-Defense Show blues.

In this episode, we read you some articles off of www.Snopes.com. Some other good ones are www.RomanceScam.com and www.TheSmokingGun.com.

[CLEAN] We talk about 3 different topics in this episode. First, we discuss a letter written to the Baltimore Sun in response to that newspaper's sensationalized reporting. Next, we talk about the Bystander Effect that causes many people to stand around and do nothing when they see a crime or act of violence right in front of them. Finally, we tell you about a very ironic and interesting story that happened to us a day after we gave our seminar. We had to put some of the stuff we taught at the seminar into use. Pretty neat.
