This show we have DB "Boon" Benton of Threat Management Solutions back on the show.

Threat Management Solutions, Dave Benton, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania

Boon is a survivor of the 2012 Benghazi Al Qaeda attacks where he was one of the CIA GRS contractors who helped defend and evacuate personnel. Boon, Tyrone "Rone" Woods, Kris "Tanto" Paronto, Jack Silva, Mark "Oz" Geist, John "Tig" Tiegen and Glenn "Bub" Doherty working for GRS saved countless lives in these attacks. Unfortunately, Rone and Bub were both killed during their heroic acts. We also lost Ambassador Christorpher Stevens, and Communications Specialist Sean Smith. Their story was memorialized in the book and movie 13 Hours in Benghazi.

Boon is also co-author of the book, Benghazi Know thy Enemy with former CIA Targeting Officer Sarah Adams. DB is also a BJJ Black belt and an expert in the field of combatives. This show we talk details regarding some of the classes that he offers. A few discussed but not limited to, Low Signature Pistol, Close Range Engagement, and Concealed Defensive Carbine. A bonus discussion on Boon's preferred 556 and 300 BLK ammo was also very informative.

One really concerning topic Boon brought up was the uncovered Al-Qaeda US and Europe attacks that the terrorist organization intends to commit in 2025.
