4/28/24 - Using Force to Defend Property
Phil explains how the use of force to defend property is not always the best solution and uses the example of the tragic events of March 14th in Lumberton, NC when a worker was killed while trying to prevent a carjacking.
That is followed by Phil demonstrating his Deep Carry setup using the Phlster holster system. The last segment focuses of why you should always try a gun before purchasing it while providing examples of a few students struggling with their gun during a recent class.
