Our Friend Ed Monk is coming back to Nebraska! You don't want to miss his presentations. Lincoln, NE – Saturday, August 29th, 2026
Morning session:
"The Active Shooter Problem and How to Minimize Victims" and Afternoon session: "Considerations for Armed Responders for Active Shooter Attacks"
The US has been failing at Active Shooter response for over 40 years. Because of these failures, we continue to see high victim-counts in many attacks. This fast-paced, information-packed presentation includes both a detailed study of the Active Shooter threat and recommendations for how we can minimize victims in future attacks. These recommendations are for individuals and organizations and are based on historical data, math, and logic.
Topics Covered:
• Attacks at schools, churches, businesses, government facilities, and other locations.
• Who the attacker is
• Weapons used
• Usual attack start locations
• The importance of TIME & MATH in planning a response.
During the afternoon session on
Considerations for Armed Responders for Active Shooter, you'll learn critical information for anyone who carries a pistol in public and plans to counter Active Shooter attacks.
Topics Covered:
• Gear, mental preparation, skills and training
• Issues armed responders should expect to encounter
Seminars are hosted by Cody Blocker and Ron Scheidt at 5511 S 27th St, Lincoln, NE.
