text: There are many areas which all need to train in. Yes firearms platforms is just one. We all need at least enough medical to keep someone alive in an emergency until the qualified help can arrive. We all need to learn survival skills in case we are out and stranded for more than three days. We all need to learn good defensive tactics to use in time of need and protect our families and self. We all need to learn basic community organization to pull our communities together in disaster. These are just a few of the types of training we should be passing on. I see too many focusing on what looks cool that is really not needed in continuous training. We are not an offensive force so we should focus on areas of survival and defense. I am an old man but I still learn new stuff almost on a daily basis.
