In the state of Utah (like many states) it’s perfectly legal to open carry your gun…



This means you can wear it on your hip for the whole world to see and it doesn’t have to be concealed at all.



For instance…



Recently, I went out to lunch.



I walked into the restaurant which was pretty crowded since it was lunch time.



Directly in front of me were two guys wearing guns on their hips.



In my small town this isn’t unusual.



I’ve seen guys open carry at food joints, the grocery store, and walking their kids to the school bus stop.



It’s what I love about living in a small and conservative town. Nobody cares or freaks out if they see someone walking around with a gun on their hip.



But here’s the thing…



When I was standing behind the two guys in the restaurant, I was very close to them.



I could have snatched their gun out of the holster in a heartbeat.



They weren’t paying attention to their surroundings.



If some criminal had been behind them, he could have had a gun in his hand in 2 seconds.



And this is why I don’t open carry in crowded places.



Pretty much the only time you’ll ever see me open carry is when I’m hiking in the mountains or when I’m training out at Spy Ranch.



Otherwise, if I’m running errands in town, my gun is concealed in my pocket (a Sig Sauer P365) or it’s on my hip (a Walther PDP.)



I totally understand that it’s legal to open carry in a lot of places… just make sure if you do it, you pay close attention to who’s around.



More than one police officer has been killed by his own gun and you certainly don’t want your gun to be used on you either.



This is also why it’s vital (and why I always shout from the rooftops) to learn simple self-defense moves in case you need to stop someone from taking your gun.



Of course, I hope that you never have to use any of these moves, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

Stay safe,
Jason

 

Most combat systems are NOT designed with the regular person in mind.

Being unable to defend yourself unarmed is the quickest way to become a victim.

Spending years learning a martial art simply isn’t practical for your average person.

Why?

Well, for starters - most take months or even years before you’ve developed the muscle memory for a martial art to be effective.

And secondly, it usually requires a lot of athleticism to pull off.

But what if you’re an older guy?

What if you have an injured back or bad knees?

The reality is, most combat systems today are NOT designed for these folks.

And the most deadly (and useful) methods are usually reserved for athletic, military personnel.

there are only two-steps to the

Self-Defense Kill Strikes system
Step 1: Maim

Step 2: Follow up with the “Kill Strike” if needed

While I hope you’ll never need to use Step 2…

You already know, it’s better to know how to “kill” and never have to use those techniques…

Rather than be in a situation where you NEED these kill moves and NOT know them at all.

And most civilian self-defense systems tend to leave out the second step.If someone tries to punch you, use the upper-cut-wrench technique to break their arm nearly instantly. Many fights will open with the opponent trying to punch you. But once you know this move, this will be a grave mistake for them.​

The knee-cap breaker (that can’t be blocked or parried) - this move completely maims your opponent’s ability to walk because it shatters their knee cap. And with the way you execute this technique, this makes it impossible to block.​Up against an opponent who’s bigger, faster or stronger than you? Not to worry. This “knee-swing” technique will put anyone out for hours. Doesn’t matter how tough they are (not even trained MMA fighters can take this hit standing)​

Going for the eyes is always an effective strategy… But it’s also a hard target to hit! Most eye-strike techniques will make you miss, only making your aggressor angrier and leaving you open to a counter-attack. Instead, using the S.K.S. gouging technique 100% guarantees you’ll hit their eyes.

After step 1 (maim), your opponent will be on the ground, squirming in pain.

At this point, you can easily disengage and escape.

And in most scenarios, that’s what I’d recommend.

But if you’re in a situation where you CAN’T run…

(For example, if you have to protect children or your spouse).

The S.K.S. combatives system provides 4 additional follow-up “kill strikes” that will completely END the fight…

Again, you only want to use these as a last resort.If you want to knock someone out in a single strike… DON’T punch them in the head. Unless you’re Mike Tyson, it probably won’t work (especially since the head is encased in hard, protective bone).

Instead, use the “blade of your arm” to strike this soft part of their body. There’s no bone to protect this part. And it will put anyone out of commission instantly.​

How to suffocate an enemy without strangling them - the hammer-fist strike (not the same as punching) will remove the aggressor’s ability to breathe. Use with caution because you may have to call 911 after executing this technique​

How to concuss a mugger without punching or kicking them - there’s a much more efficient way and it guarantees a knock out - or potentially worse, ensure they never get up again. This move is especially effective if you don’t have much physical strength (because it uses gravity to apply extra deadly force)

​Head kicks are effective, but can’t be executed without athleticism or training… right? WRONG! This type of kick shown in the S.K.S. requires little or no athleticism to pull off, and guarantees a knock-out! This move requires little to no accuracy either. If you can kick a soccer ball, you can do this

These moves include:The “wind-pipe relocator” - the quickest way to make any thug lose his motivation for aggression, is to “relocate” his windpipe. This technique is as painful and deadly as it sounds. Use with caution

.​How to put someone to sleep within seconds WITHOUT striking them (using the opponent’s own arm against them) - it’s about using leverage to get an angle that allows you to end any fight within the blink of an eye.​

The one-strike kill - only use this technique if you are cornered into a position where you have no choice. There are two variants to this move. The first will knock them out cold. The second variant has a high probability of fatality.

​How to break an enemy’s neck without touching his neck at all - sounds strange I know, but by using certain leverage points you can actually break an opponent’s neck without touching his neck.

Here’s one of the awards I received from the agency:
