It's about teaching, influence, and carrying the mission forward in a way that actually impacts armed citizens.</p> <p data-start="586" data-end="616"><strong data-start="586" data-end="616">In this episode, we cover:</strong></p> <ul data-start="617" data-end="1292"> <li data-section-id="ys37kd" data-start="617" data-end="721">The reality of transitioning from military/LE into the firearms industry, and where many get it wrong</li> <li data-section-id="1hgby7d" data-start="722" data-end="822">Why high-level operational experience doesn't automatically translate into effective instruction</li> <li data-section-id="bg8s0v" data-start="823" data-end="915">The fundamentals of <strong data-start="845" data-end="887">teaching firearms to everyday citizens</strong> vs. trained professionals</li> <li data-section-id="jciv2u" data-start="916" data-end="1004">The responsibility of instructors in shaping safe, capable, and confident protectors</li> <li data-section-id="bj7dra" data-start="1005" data-end="1112">A candid look at <strong data-start="1024" data-end="1053">Second Amendment advocacy-</strong> what matters, what doesn't, and where we need to improve</li> <li data-section-id="1s0ymoa" data-start="1113" data-end="1213"> Lessons from the 160th SOAR mindset: preparation, accountability, and performance under pressure</li> <li data-section-id="l3qfsa" data-start="1214" data-end="1292">What makes a firearms instructor truly "high level" in today's environment</li> </ul> <p data-start="1294" data-end="1380">This is a conversation about evolution of identity, of mission, and of responsibility.</p> <p data-start="1382" data-end="1479">If you're an instructor, a protector, or someone serious about getting better, this one delivers.</p>

Episode #429: Data Doesn't Lie: What Real Gunfights Actually Look Like - with John Hearn

<p>Today's Featured Sponsor: <a href="https://werkz.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Werkz holsters</a></p> <p data-start="686" data-end="885">In this episode, Rich Brown sits down with John Hearn of Two Pillars Training to break down what the data actually tells us about defensive gunfights—and how most training completely misses the mark.</p> <p data-start="887" data-end="1170">John has built a reputation for digging into real-world incidents, analyzing patterns, and applying that information to how we should actually train. From distances and timing to decision-making under pressure, this conversation challenges assumptions and replaces them with reality.</p> <p data-start="1172" data-end="1358">They dive into what the numbers reveal about how fights really unfold, where traditional training falls short, and how armed citizens can better prepare for the moments that matter most.</p> <p data-start="1360" data-end="1495">If you're serious about training with purpose—not just going through the motions—this episode will change how you think about practice.</p> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"> <div dir="auto">In 2021, John founded Two Pillars Training and began to offer unique curriculum focusing on decision making while shooting in addition to classic skills with pistol and carbine. Besides hands-on shooting classes, John has presentations focusing on the data side of the self-defense world. His interests include human performance under life and death stress, historic gunfights, crime data, and criminal typologies.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">John has a Master's degree in criminal justice with a concentration in Research Methods.
