Yea a lot of negative vibes here, especially among LEO's. Could it be a new hampshire thing? They dont have a lot of shootouts up there, be he and his daughter keeps winning IDPA events, or at least were.

I liked him more up until he got way too "avoid everything that might be used in court" attitude. It seemed for a while there that was all he focussed on.

I like him. Hopefully he comes to the shoot some day; don't know if precision riflecraft is his thing, though.

The reason Masaad Ayoob sounds like he's the Peppridge Farms guy is because he was a NEW HAMPSHIRE policeman for quite some time.
If you were one, you'd sound the same damned way. Get over it. |

Most folks here and in the gun world in general like to thumb their noses at instructors because they have never taken any real instruction when it comes to using firearms in a defensive manner.
Most American males don't feel they need any instruction in much of anything, most have the attitude that when they dropped out of the womb they could already drive like Mario Andretti, fuck like Ron Jeremy, and shoot like Wyatt Earp... you cannot teach them a thing... But the fact is, you don't know, what you don't know. |

There was a pretty big thread here a few years ago where a number of people jumped on him for a number of things ranging from what they believed to be misleading remarks about his scores in matches to alleged events where he'd been drunk at matches. I pointed out a few misleading(IMO) statements in one of his books that seemed to imply that he'd been in some gunfights but he clarified that he'd never been in any and that his intent was not to imply that he had. He did show up here to argue in that thread and, IIRC, he stuck around for a little while afterwards, but he isn't active here as far as I know. I don't recall ever seeing anything from him in SWAT in the last 10 years or so. |

Mas is a good man.
He supports your right to defend yourself as a law-abiding citizen. He thinks women like my wife and daughters should carry & be trained & competent with firearms. He does not believe in enabling violent criminals for emotional or political reasons. He likes guns. A lot. He is a published author. He is a hell of a shot. I thought LFI-1 and LFI-2 were worth my investment. What's not to like? |

Some criticism I've heard (from people who have learned from him) is that he doesn't smell great (no joke) and that his advice is obvious to experienced shooters. I however, being a handgun novice find his work valuable.
