Superior, WI delivered plenty of cold weather for Cold Weather Police Sniper early this week. Temps in class ranged from single digits to the low 20s and there was plenty of snow.

In addition to learning about nutrition, clothing, gear, and cold-related injuries, snipers practiced their fieldcraft in the arctic landscape, tested their mental focus in uncomfortable shooting scenarios and had to manage moisture and their body heat while performing a variety of real-world active and sedentary tasks.

We had a great range and private property to train on - many thanks to our awesome hosts at Superior PD!

When you are armed, every physical confrontation you engage in has a very real potential to escalate into a gunfight.

You can’t just get into a little fist-fight when you’re carrying a gun. When the person fighting you feels the gun, or you think they felt the gun, or you feel you’re losing control of the gun, you both will start fighting over it - even if neither of you intended for things to escalate.

Resisting law enforcement when you are armed is INSANELY DANGEROUS. Getting into verbal altercations, road raging, and generally acting like a jerk can all lead to escalation. So start asking yourself this:

“Would I be willing to kill someone over [fill in the blank].” A parking spot? Getting cut off in line? A verbal insult?

… and then remember that even though you wouldn’t, the person might. And that’s the danger.

Don’t go looking for trouble, walk away, de-escalate when you can. Comply with law enforcement. Settle your disputes in court. Even if you’re “right,” you can still be dead.
