The cash on hand is most helpful. I’m interested in knowing more about the baton carry. I assume he’s referring to an ASP expandable. I carried one on duty for years, and still have two, but there are many, many stories from patrol cops who found batons ineffective against a variety of people. I would be interested in hearing the guest’s thoughts on this. Great show, as always!

As a retired police officer and former military, worldwide traveler, his info is spot on. I would add always wear long pants or jeans especially when traveling, you get more protection and you blend in more with locals. Short pants are for the beach or pool . I always wear shoes and when traveling i wear construction type boots or over ankle heavy duty boots, or hiking boots. Youll blend in more and they protect your feet. When traveling always carry a bandana, with a rock you can make an expedient weapon and can ditch quickly. Wear a leather belt with a heavy buckle.... Wear non descript no logo tee shirts in a dark color and plain ballcap no US sports teams . Cheap Sunglasses also and thats part of being the "Greyman" ...

90% of trade craft is getting another person to trust you. Learning to be confident, friendly, innocent looking, and in some cases helpless, will put you in a situation where you are in control. Knowing how to control the situation and manipulate that situation to your advantage. Be friendly, be personable, take and give, give and take, develop a friendship even if it only last for a few seconds, minutes, or hours. This will get you out alive.

And that 1% that does have the authority (nonofficial or official) to use a weapon tends to be within a tier 1 type unit, which is a DoD affiliate. it doesn't surprise me that he didn't handle the gun like an assassin because he probably wasn't an assassin.

Great interview. When I first saw Andrew Bustamante, I thought he was the evil boss ' Datu Junmar' (Evan Dane Taylor) from Plane with Gerard Butler. I had to go to IMDB and look at the cast list to see it wasn't him! But Evan Dane Taylor's father was a US Intelligence Officer. Funny old world we're in.Namaste x

@@flexinclouds when a CIA guy on station needs a weapon they just take one of the bad guys guns and shoot the other bad guys with it then throw it back on the floor. If they do carry a gun on station it’s more than likely going to be disgusted as something else everyday item like an ink pen or a camera.

Great grandfather Alfred Lawrence Schauss was in army air force during Korean war. His father was a Lieutenant commander of a Navy destroyer in the Pacific during World War II. Alfred was stationed in New Mexico before the crash and went to Roswell just after the crash he then worked for three aerospace companies. He reported to see bodies and material related to the craft indicated that these materials and parts went to private companies. The private companies in question are ones he works for which are CONV a are, North American Rockwell international, and Lochhead.

Years ago my Easter decorations were stolen out of my yard. My first response was fing taser and rebar. Luckily a guy was going threw the police academy at the time, told me no. I used a dollar store audible device and it was a child less than ten that was raiding my yard. Caught them, spoke with parents and life has been good.

Guns, mace, most things like that are illegal in New Zealand where I live so I my edc is a personal alarm and I agree with his thoughts on them, mine is also a led flashlight that is rechargeable and I keep it charged but it means I can get to my door and in if my security lights go out. I also have a seat belt cutter and glass breaker on my car keys (one that pulls off so I don't need to remove my keys from the engine). I will add a laminated emergency contact list that's a good idea.

He said it rings at 180dBSPL. You put that volume behind a kids head in close proximity (on the backpack) and they are deaf for life. He's full of shit. Jets taking off are like 140dB. A threshold shift ambient to 180 would be unthinkably traumatic and damaging to the child. I doubt there is an alarm that makes that level. His whole vibe was flaky to me...poor firearm safety, carrying loved ones contact details while covert, and the nonsense alarm. Weird af.

An old timer told me years ago to carry 100 bucks cash on me for emergencies. I never thought about it, but he was a Ranger so he may have had more reasons than just common sense. I keep a 50, 2x20s, and a 10 and I cannot say how many times it's come in handy. Once had to get a car buried to the fenders in mud pulled out, and the tow magically came down to 100 exactly when I asked if there was a cash price.
