title: God, Guns, and Guts of Firearm Defense: The Bible View (36 Ready Preparedness Guides)
author:  Sig Swanstrom 
description: SIG SWANSTROM is a former police officer and police SWAT team operator who worked in the Los Angeles area. During his years of service, he personally had many deadly-force encounters with armed criminals, so his writing is real-world practical. And today, as the owner of two highly acclaimed firearms training academies, SIG has also learned how to capture the interest of his audiences and teach them practical real-world skills. Armed with a university degree in criminology, and his practical experience as a police detective and crime scene investigator (CSI), SIG has had the opportunity to probe many criminal cases in which firearms were used against innocent people. And, he has also investigated incidents where law abiding citizens used guns against their attackers. Since taking an early retirement from law enforcement, these experiences were further enhanced by living with terrorism and guerilla warfare for several years in Guatemala. During that country's bloody civil war, SIG's compound was attacked by guerrillas on three occasions, and on one deadly evening it was overrun. His family was with him at the time. So he also understands these issues from a WTSHTF perspective of widespread mayhem and revolution. Recognition: During SIG's law enforcement career he was named "Police Officer of the Year," was a "Commendation for Valor" recipient, and he received the Mayor's Commendation, U.S. Attorney General's Commendation (Ed Meese), and numerous other awards and citations. He was also the personal bodyguard of president Ronald Reagan during the period after Reagan was governor of California but before he announced his candidacy for president of the United States. Today, SIG is the owner of Texas Republic Firearms Academy (www.TXRFA.com), a firearms self-defense school based near San Antonio, Texas, and co-owner of Camp Barkeley Tactical (www.CampBarkeleyTactical.com) in Abilene, Texas. These provide training in handgun, tactical shotgun and rifle to the general public, as well as training for law enforcement and security-force personnel, both nationally and internationally.
