James Yeager on Gun Nuts

Did you listen to Gun Nuts Radio last night? Because if you didn't, you missed a great show. We were joined by James Yeager of Tactical Response, one of the leading self-defense schools in the country. The topic of conversation ran the gamut from the self-defense mindset, to the value of playing games such as IDPA, and even to a discussion on gear. You can click this link to download the show, or click the next link to download an .mp3 copy of the show.



James was a great guest, and we're planning on having him back again in the future, as some of the topics we just glanced over could have entire shows devoted to them. I can't encourage you strongly enough to listen to us live, as it's the only way to get the full Gun Nuts Experience, including live video feed of the host during the show. If you'd like to subscribe to the show, you can follow the link for instructions on getting Gun Nuts on iTunes.

Join us next week for a Tea Party wrap up show. As you know, today across the nation in "celebration" of Tax day, conservatives, libertarians, and people who are just generally fed up with the spending habits of the government are gathering to protest the outrageous taxation being levied against us. Next week's show will be all call-ins - we want to hear from you, and from your Tea Party experiences.

Great show last night. You definitely need to have James on again. I sure another hour still won't be enough time for everything.

I'd like to maybe hear James comment on the effects of being in a gunfight have on your body. Also, what things you should look for in a good instructor.

James Yeager failed to respond appropriately under fire in Iraq and did not execute and adhere to proper PSD SOPs. James Yeager should be an example of what not to do and why he is a guest on any show is ridiculous.

Take a look at his work here:

James shouldn't even be on Facebook let alone a radio show. He is considered a complete liability by every one in the industry

Yeager is a tool.

I've met him in person; took a class where he was an adjunct instructor (pre-Iraq debacle.) If I had known about him beforehand, I would have dropped out of the class got my department's money back.

I've been in SWAT for 9 years, and the US Army the 12 years before that. In that time I've been taught by the best of the best. Not a single instructor in any class I've had displayed the (very unjustified) arrogance and incompetence displayed by Yeager.

He's not qualified enough to clean dog shit off the bottoms of my Hanwags.
