Tactical Defense Institute is a past president
of the Ohio
Tactical Officer's Association. He is the
co-author of Defensive Living: Attitudes, Tactics and Proper Handgun Use
to Secure; and, the author of Handgun Combatives.
According to one reader/reviewer
of Handgun Combatives, My copy of this book has highlights,
sticky tabs, and notes in the margin. I like his thoughts on training regarding
simplicity of technique. Spaulding eschews complex, difficult, or fancy
technique. Instead, he focuses on what he can guaranty will work and how to
recover when Murphy's Law takes effect and the guaranty fails.

Jerry VanCook is the author of Going
Undercover: Secrets And Sound Advice For The Undercover Officer; Real World
Self-Defense: A Guide To Staying Alive In Dangerous Times; and, Volume No. 189
in the Executioner series.
According to
Jerry VanCook, In both Going Undercover
and Real World Self-Defense I wanted write realistic books on
staying alive and out of jail in the violent society that the 21st century
promises to be. I wanted them both to be free of the politically correct law
enforcement party line and something that would keep both cops and citizens
alive.
