Episode #429: Data Doesn't Lie: What Real Gunfights Actually Look Like - with John Hearn
About this episode
Today's Featured Sponsor: Werkz holsters
In this episode, Rich Brown sits down with John Hearn of Two Pillars Training to break down what the data actually tells us about defensive gunfights—and how most training completely misses the mark.
John has built a reputation for digging into real-world incidents, analyzing patterns, and applying that information to how we should actually train. From distances and timing to decision-making under pressure, this conversation challenges assumptions and replaces them with reality.
They dive into what the numbers reveal about how fights really unfold, where traditional training falls short, and how armed citizens can better prepare for the moments that matter most.
If you're serious about training with purpose—not just going through the motions—this episode will change how you think about practice.
