Interesting – Tulsi Gabbard To Speak At SIG Event

May 15, 2024 by 1 Comment

Many in the gun rights community are wary of former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) due to her past support of gun control. She had supported universal background checks and an assault weapon (sic) ban while in Congress. She has since publicly changed those views. Gabbard even did an interview with Donald Trump Jr. where she made this clear. She has also left the Democrat party as she has moved towards more conservative positions. Indeed, she is rumored to be on President Trump’s short list for VP running mate.

Based upon this, I find it interesting that she will be speaking at the SIG Experience Center this Sunday, May 19th, as part of their SEC Speaker Series.

From the press release put out by SIG on the event:

SIG SAUER to Host Tulsi Gabbard, Author of “For Love of Country,” in New Hampshire at Inaugural SEC Speaker Series EventNEWINGTON, N.H., (May 14, 2024) – SIG SAUER is honored to host Tulsi Gabbard to showcase her New York Times bestseller “For Love of Country, Leave the Democrat Party Behind,” at the SIG Experience Center (SEC) at the inaugural SEC speaker series event in Epping, New Hampshire on Sunday, May 19, 2024.Tulsi Gabbard was a rising star of the Democrat Party but the growing wokeness and liberal policies were more than she could stomach, so she left the party. Join Tulsi at a unique SEC Speaker Series event as she discusses her service, how she answered the call, and the journey she is on. 
Specific event details are as follows:

SEC Speaker Series Event: “Tulsi Gabbard, “For Love of County, Leave the Democrat Party Behind”Time: 1:00pm – 1:45pmThis is a registration-only event and includes a book.  Registration is now open at sigsaueracademy.com.

Meet Tulsi @ SIG Experience Center1:50pm – 2:45pmHave your book signed, take a photo, meet Tulsi and shop at the SIG Experience Center.Registration not required. The line will open at 1:30pm.

While I have some hesitations about Gabbard, she would certainly make a better Vice President than sitting VP Kamala Harris if only for her military experience. She served both as an enlisted medic in the Hawaii National Guard where she was awarded the Combat Medical Badge and now as a Major in the Army Reserve’s 351st Civil Affairs Command. That plus she doesn’t cackle!

NSSF Defensive Pistol Tip – Drawing Your Pistol In A Car

April 7, 2014 by 1 Comment

In one of the latest training tips videos from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Adam Painchaud, Director of the Sig Sauer Academy, discusses drawing your pistol from concealment while in the driver’s seat of a car.

For the majority of us who are right-handed and carry on the strong side, the seat belt can be problematic. Adam shows a way of using the steering wheel to give yourself enough leverage to draw your pistol without interference from the seat belt. He also discusses alternate methods of carry including shoulder holsters, cross-draw, and the ankle holster. Personally, I drive a lot and the idea of using an ankle holster is getting more and more appealing.

NSSF Training Tip: Holdover And Offset

February 6, 2014 by 1 Comment

Adam Painchaud of the Sig Sauer Academy talks about holdover and offset in the latest training tips video from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. A red dot sight or a scope is zeroed for a specific distance. If shooting a distance that is either greater or less than the zeroed distance, you need to compensate for it in order to get an accurate hit.

Adam discusses ways to determine the holdover and offset for your rifle. This becomes important in a defensive situation when you are using a rifle at close range. It is also important if you are in a competitive match such as a 3-Gun competition.
