Ten people injured in stabbing melee
On September 17, 2016, a terrorist mass stabbing occurred at the Crossroads Center shopping mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
At about 8:15 on the evening of September 17, an individual began stabbing patrons at the Crossroads Center shopping mall. He was armed with two steak knives, one 10 inches and the other 9 inches. The stabbings first began outside the mall, at a nutrition store, before the attacker entered the building, stabbed an electronics store employee, and ran past a couple of other stores towards the Target and Macy’s anchor stores.
Before the spree ended 10 people were injured in the stabbing, three of whom were hospitalized for non-life-threatening wounds. They were all stabbed or punched in the back, shoulder, head, neck, or face. The victims were of ages 15 to 53.
Church Guardian Training – Fall 2019
“. . . we prayed to our God and posted a guard . . .”
In January 2018, In-Gauge of Polk County, of Winter Haven, Florida initiated its Church Guardian Training program.
In-Gauge of Polk County’s Church Guardian Training program is a 15-hour firearm training program for faith based organizations. The Guardian training specifically focuses on situational awareness, plans of action and the use of a firearm in crowded, close-quarter conditions. Our Guardian Training trains the participant how to assess and recognize a potential threat, mitigate a potential threat before it becomes an actual threat, engage and survive an actual threat while minimizing the threat to others.
Our Guardian training is composed of two distinct classes:
- Phase One – Basic handgun/concealed carry qualification training (5 hours)
- Classroom: 4 hours
- Live-fire range training: 1 hour
- Phase Two – Advanced concealed carry training (10 hours)
- Classroom: 5 hours
- Live-fire range training: 5 hours
During the Phase Two live-fire range session, each participant is expected to fire a minimum of 250 rounds, while performing a series of progressive, live-fire drills, using a defensive caliber handgun. Each participant will learn and demonstrate:
- the correct method of drawing from a concealment holster
- the use of cover and concealment
- the correct and safe method of moving between cover and concealment, while actively engaging and armed assailant
- the correct procedure for engaging multiple assailants
- the correct procedure for loading, shooting and reloading while engaging an armed assailant or assailants
- the correct procedure for clearing firearm malfunctions while engaging an armed assailant
In May of 2019 we added Stop The Bleed – emergency blood loss control and tourniquet training to our Guardian Training Program. This training is now part of our Guardian Training Program and will be provided to all participants.
A nationally recognized, official NRA certificate of training will be issued upon successful completion of the course. Training exceeds requirements for Florida’s concealed carry weapons license application.
Training will be ongoing throughout the year. Training can be taken as an individual or a group. Convenient lodging is available for out-of-town participants.
Pre-registration is required. Group discounts are available. Call or email for pricing information.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explains the importance of having trained guardians on location when the wolf attacks and before law enforcement arrives . . . .
Something to consider . . .
In-Gauge of Polk County is one of a very few entities that provides official NRA firearms training and the only organization in Central Florida that conducts official NRA, advanced firearms training.
If you or any member of your congregation takes firearms training that does not provide an official NRA certificate of training, displaying the official NRA name and emblem, your training will likely not be recognized outside the state of Florida and not be recognized by liability insurance carriers.
Firearms training classes (concealed carry classes) conducted by retired law enforcement officers or instructors claiming to certified NRA instructors that do not issue official NRA certificates of training, are NOT official NRA firearms training classes.
Before enrolling in any concealed carry class or advanced firearms tactical training course, ask if you be receiving an official NRA certificate of training upon completion. Not merely receiving a training certificate designed by the instructor or a letter stating you completed a class.

Hardening The Soft Target – Church, Ministry, Faith Organization Security
“There is no elegant way to protect the sheep from hungry wolves.”
We have once again been reminded how hate filled cowards take advantage of soft targets.

“The shooter stormed the building during a Saturday morning service, fatally shooting 11 mostly elderly people and wounding six others including four police officers, before he was arrested.”
Kroger store shooting suspect tried to first access church
10/26/2018 – Associated Press
JEFFERSONTOWN, Ky. — A man with a history of violence and mental illness was recorded on surveillance video apparently trying to get inside a church in Kentucky before he went to a grocery store and fatally shot two store patrons, police said.
After releasing a photo of the suspect, authorities received a tip from an employee of the city of Jeffersontown who said he thought he saw Gregory Bush outside the First Baptist church prior to Wednesday’s shooting, city police chief Sam Rogers said. The video confirmed Bush’s presence about 10 to 15 minutes before he went to the grocery store, Rogers said.
“We prayed to our God and posted a guard . . .” Nehemiah 4:9
It is regrettable, but the wolves choose soft targets. It is our responsibility to make chosen targets as undesirable as possible by hardening the target. We harden the target by preparing ourselves for an unwanted attack.
It is understood that a good many members of any congregation possess a concealed carry license and may even carry a firearm during services. However, are they qualified to carry a deadly weapon in public?
There is more to carrying a firearm in public then just knowing how to pull a trigger and shooting holes in a paper target.
Our GUARDIAN TRAINING PROGRAM does just that. Our GUARDIAN TRAINING PROGRAM trains the participant in crowded, close-quarter use of a firearm.
Successful completion of our GUARDIAN TRAINING PROGRAM provides the participant with an official NRA, nationally recognized certificate of training that can be used for both applying for
- a Florida concealed carry weapons license and
- applying for a reduction in liability insurance premiums
With the successful completion of our GUARDIAN TRAINING PROGRAM all members of a congregation’s “security/watch team” will have the uniform training, know the abilities and capabilities of its members.
ALICE Training
You or members of your congregation may have received ALICE training, from a local law enforcement agency and either thought that was all there is available or wondered where could you or members of your “security/watch team” get more or practical defense training.
Our GUARDIAN TRAINING PROGRAM is above and beyond ALICE training. Our GUARDIAN TRAINING PROGRAM is practical firearms training unlike anything offered elsewhere in central Florida.
Contact us for practical training that will harden your soft target and make it undesirable prey for the hate filled wolves.

A long standing axiom, known and taught by those in the self-defense arena, was affirmed by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, during a press conference Wednesday, August 29th, regarding a fatal, self-defense shooting in Winter Haven, Florida.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd affirms that 3 seconds will determine who survives a deadly threat and who will not. Sheriff Grady Judd: “You see how quickly you have to make a decision on whether you live or whether you die.“
3 seconds will determine if you are the one who makes the 911 call or the one who is carried away in a black body bag.
