From the hosts of The Best Defense on Outdoor Channel, the following DVDs give the dad hours of good information about concealed carry, how to become a better shooter and how to deal with close quarter incidents.

The Michael Bane Concealed Carry DVD
Carrying a concealed firearm for self-defense is more than just selecting a handgun and holster. It’s a state of mind and change of lifestyle. Although best known for his highly rated original television series on Outdoor Channel — SHOOTING GALLERY, THE BEST DEFENSE, GUN STORIES, RAPID FIRE, COWBOYS — Michael Bane has been active in competitive shooting and training for decades. Bane was active in the launch of both USPSA and IDPA and worked in the creation of the National Range Officer Institute. Michael walks you through the system of concealed carry. He reviews various holsters, full size and compact firearms, pocket pistols, properly concealing firearms, off body carry, vehicles, home carry, stress inoculation, and range drills. Whether you are new to concealed carry or have been carrying for years, this is a must have video.

Forever Armed with Michael Janich
presents three basic combative tactics that can turn almost any object that can be wielded with one hand into a potent defensive weapon. Concentrating on simple gross-motor-skill movements, Janich’s system reveals how the “physiological potential” of these movements can generate both offensive and defensive tactics that can be used to defend against many common street attacks. FOREVER ARMED deserves a prominent place in your dad’s training library.
