Rob -
I am very new to handguns (and to this forum). I applied for my Texas CHL in mid January and am still waiting on it. I have been surfing the various DirectTV channels to look for anything to help me improve my skills. I found "The Best Defense" only 2 weeks ago. I have found it to be the best thing I have seen yet for personal defense. I am making my wife and daughter watch as well. It has taught us a great deal. As a professional curriculum developer (for a software company) I also recognize and appreciate well-designed educational material. You are doing a superb job with the "Why" and the "How" and I also really like your "Good", "Better", "Best" approach. The episode on the convenience store that stressed patience, movement, and lines of fire was outstanding. I also caught the episode that covered the issues around firing from within a car and using a car for cover. Lots of stuff I had never even thought about. A superb show! Thanks for your work and for the work of the entire team that produces it. One thing I am curious about. My daughter is 19 -- she will have to be 21 before she can carry legally in Texas. At the moment we have her armed with a Taser. Have you considered a show segment with non-firearms for defense such as tasers and pepper sprays for those who can't carry a gun? Another example -- I frequently have to travel to CA on business -- for some reason they don't appear to want anyone from Texas to carry there. And of course there are many locations in different states that prevent handguns but would allow other self-defense items. I have already seen some segments that included some hand-to-hand to break contact and get room to draw.
