A recent police body camera video is stirring up lots of conversation in the law enforcement and firearms training communities.

Many police officers and news outlets labeled him a coward. Scot Peterson resigned, but contends that even though he heard gunshots, he did not know a mass shooting was taking place.
Defense In Depth is currently renting the perfect firearm for people new to shooting. The Smith & Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ may have an overly complicated name, but it was specifically designed for people who find the strength and grip necessary to operate most handguns intimidating. (The "EZ" stands for "Easy".) It is light, easy to manipulate, easily to conceal, and inexpensive.
