From The Desk of Gregg Kielma: Home Defense Firearm and Case Studies

Kielma suggests reading the article below and then making a good decision with the Tactical K Training and Firearms Staff before you invest. Continues Kielma, to answer this question I get asked all the time, maybe for you, however, not for me. My home defense firearm is a 12g shotgun for several reasons.

Case Study: The infamous FBI Miami Massacre that kicked off the rush to “better” ammo and gear could have been resolved with the ammo and gear on scene that day earlier than it was. It was resolved with 4 shots from a 12-gauge shotgun. Every agent there that day had what he needed to do the job, and the job was eventually done with it. Better tactical judgment, decisions, and marksmanship were the real problems, not an “ammunition failure”.

Case Study: Same for the North Hollywood shootout. The bad guys did not have armored faces, arms, hands, legs, and feet. The LEO could have done better with what they used earlier than with what they had later.

Case Study: Two, local PDs best and brightest, skilled in action pistol and MMA, armed with the newest gear were both killed by a man off his meds with a relic WWII surplus revolver.

What they have does not matter as much as what you do with what you have. I feel safe protecting my home with a shotgun as my first resource and handgun as the other option. I keep both close by, so I don’t need to spend valuable time fumbling around to keep my home safe. I have a plan. My judgment, training, and experience keeps my family safe along with my firearms of choice and the firearms and ammo I use.

Kielma continues, training and your plan are crucial for home and self-defense. The type of firearm is used is paramount. We offer outdoor training to develop the skills needed to defend yourself family and friends at our outdoor range.

Call me to schedule a day and time to train to be comfortable and the best you can be when armed.
