0305 – Can’t we all just get along?
I try to stay away from the nasty stuff. Â I don’t select my topics from Google Key Word searches. Â I don’t troll the forums looking for a ripe bone to pick. Â Yes, I’ve posted about 9mm vs. .45 and why I don’t carry a .40. Â In addition, I do not think 1911’s are appropriate defensive handguns. Â I hope, however, that when I do talk about the “tough stuff.” Â I do so with respect. Â If not, do us all a favor and set me straight.
I have to say I simply don’t understand what all the infighting is about. Â How well do you get along with the rest of the gun community? Â That is what we are going to touch on today. Â Really, can’t we all just get along?

We Face Threats From Outside Our Community
- State and Federal law
- concealed carry legislation
- arbitrary weapons restriction
- Executive policy
- International treaties (Arms Trade Treaty)
- organizations that are anti-2A
In General, we have been very successful fighting off these threats in recent years.
So We Fight Each Other Instead
Factions:
- Fudd
- Tactard
Self-Defense Community Divides as well:
Tactard?
We need to understand group dynamics and what happens when we are successful with outside challenges.
- Howard Stern vs. the FCC
- Michigan gun owners group
- If you are involved in a Dynamic Critical Incident when the bad guy is down do you immediately transition to the nearest good guy?
- Become aware and stop your silly behavior.
I refuse to fall prey.
What you see as a tactard, I see as a potential student.
- Good for me because it increases my student base
- Good for the student as they have the opportunity to get some quality training
- Win-Win is what we are after isn’t it?
Is Your Ego in Check?
Maybe ego is the problem?
- We all need to be working to improve what we are doing
- We need to have minds that are open to the ideas of others
- We need to be willing to let go of what we discover is wrong
- We need to be Respectfully Irreverent
- Â Quit being a cry baby
- Understand why you do what you do and be confident in your choices
- But, when you find a better justification for doing something else cut your losses and move on!
