What is "parallax" and how does it affect optics on rifles? During this week's Tech Talk from EOTech, Inc. Louis and Paul will consider both magnified and non-magnified optics and whether or not parallax is the boogeyman we have been led to believe it is. 

For our Coffee Corner, we will discuss our recommended reading, "How, When, What Now? The Brain's Role in Gunfighting." Drink coffee and support us at www.studentofthegun.com/blackout.

Michael Mann was in the news this week, but not for a reason he might have wanted. Mr. Mann had a negligent discharge and was injured. We wish Mr. Mann a speedy recovery. Are there any lessons we can learn from that incident? What is the leading cause of NDs when holstering a handgun? 

You might have heard that "If it's SUL, it's cool." Is it cool to point a pistol at all of your students while demonstrating how to go "muzzle down?"  We'll consider that.

Are your work habits and behaviors sabotaging your productivity? The OSS put out a book instructing readers in the art of sabotage in 1944. Today the book reads like the SOP for just about every big corporation and business.
