    Indeed. I had him figured as a Rhodes scholar, based on his superb grammar and colorful use of contemporary urban vernacular.

    I'm sure the DA will get a kick out of reading it as well, if they opt to charge him.

    The $40 DVD is a tenth of the $400 price of the ECQC class.
    The DVD is about 1:30 hours
    ECQC is 20 hours of instruction

    I've watched the MUC DVD a few times now, and am still getting my money's worth.

    SNarcs Practical Unarmed Combat (PUC)is also excellent and applicable in this guys case for MUC. great buy IMO. agreed, us "gun people" tend to rely too heavily on having a gun and often overlook other aspects of personal defense. We often get into trouble because we dont follow our "gut instinct" or try and convince ourselves that "this cant be happening". the detective commenting on the video even states that the "victim", "was feeling real uncomforatble and sat in the car..." unfortunately he chose to get out therafter for whatever reason, not following his gut and is lucky it didnt turn out worse. the book, Gift of Fear, by Gavin DeBecker is an excellent read and another great resource regarding how doing something as simple as following how you are feeling about a situation may save your life. also check out the book, What Every Body is Saying by Joe Navarro(ex FBI and conisdered a pioneer in the art of reading body language). SNarc also touches upon body language in PUC video and it closely mimics the thoughts and observations in Navarros book. No situational awareness, ignoring body language and not going with gut feeling = recipe for disaster, gun or no gun ,IMHO.
