      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!

About a 1/3 of the size of the average cell phone now with a battery and siren, pull the pin and it activates the circuit! Problem was, network marketing companies do best with products that you purchase on a monthly basis, so you had to keep selling and selling with no repeat business other than building a downline.

    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. First thing to carry on EDC is a friendly persona.

      I am pretty sure there is a large percentage of operatives who do not carry guns. There is a good chance he wasn't one of those rated to carry. Don't, pay attention to the TV / Hollywood versions of CIA; 99% aren't Jason Bourne types. 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.

      Sub guns are cool, but they cannot beat a compact glock 19-sized weapon with 15+1 capacity. I'd rather have extra rounds than comfort.
      I know you can get extensions, but I don't know man. Some things just work out well. I've got a P938, and I can shoot it pretty well but it's not an optimal carry choice for me.
      BUT, it is incredible how I can drop it in my pocket and not a person on earth would suspect it.

    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

    He didn’t see as comfortable with the pistol as I thought he would.

      He didn't check the chamber. Weird. I thought everyone did that. It's like firearm safety rule #1. Never trust the word of whoever hands you a firearm.

      @@helives2630 Yeah but if you carry a loaded pistol regularly having a round in the chamber is expected, it becomes routine to carry a round in the chamber and to handle the gun as such.

      His hand was even shaking, unless it was meant to throw us off.
