Dave Grossman is a man on a mission. By all rights, the retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and Ranger should be enjoying a life of leisure. Instead, Grossman spends most of his life on the road, traveling from town to town like a tent evangelist teaching law enforcement officers and military personnel about the psychological and physiological effects of combat and preaching a contemporary version of the warrior code.

Street racing of automobiles has been an American tradition since the early 1950s and probably long before. It’s not hard to imagine the first owners of Model T Fords staring each other down as they ran their “Tin Lizzies” down the rutted roads of the early 20th century.

Departments: The Winning Edge
Recently I received a rather urgent phone call from a government agency with the following request: “Ernest, in 48 hours we are dispatching an agent to Iraq. He will be training Iraqi police forces. There has been a recent influx of Indonesian jihadists into Iraq, and we are seeing the increased use of a small sickle-bladed knife.

Years ago, I needed a holster for a Novak-built STI International 1911. I searched high and low to no avail. Then I learned that a small Washington-based company called Blade Tech was making custom holsters out of Kydex. I sent them my STI, and they made an excellent holster that fit it perfectly.

Here’s a recurring situation. You’ve been investigating a particular suspect and you get reliable information that evidence or contraband is going to be at his house or other premises at a certain time or when a particular event happens.
