Chuck Taylor, ASAA has passed.

[Boss]

One of the founders of the modern craft has passed on. His Combat Master training standards set a realllly high bar.

Here's an interview from about a year and a half ago...his insights in the last ~5 minutes of the video on where we are as a country are enlightening.

Boss

Will start this here, mods if you feel it would go better elsewhere, feel free to move.

The saying " You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything" comes to mind after seeing this. Rip Mr. Taylor.

Sorry for the necro post but I just saw this. I didn't know he had passed.
I took a defensive pistol class at Front Sight when he was still the director of training there. He put on a great display of drawing from concealed carry and engaging multiple targets.
He also told a great story about Viet Nam in which they left one stump in an area that was supposed to be totally cleared outside their compound. When they got attacked, the Cong would hide behind that stump at which point they'd fire 1 shot from an M2 which, of course, blew through the trunk and the soldier behind it. It was a good lesson in concealment vs cover.
RIP Col. Taylor .
