Have a question for Dale Comstock? Get it answered!

Hey Hotlists Members!

We have Dale Comstock (retired U.S. Army Special Forces Operator) flying into our studio this week to shoot some instructional material for a very exciting new product that we’ve kept under the wraps during the research and development phase. I really can’t talk about it yet, but I think you all will be very interested in it once it is launched. And of course, you guys will be the first to hear about it.

Anyways, I wanted to give you guys a chance to ask Dale some questions while we have him at our studio for a few days. I hope we’ll have some downtime where we can do a nice interview and let him answer a few questions from the hotlist.

If you do have a question for Dale please leave it in the comments section below. We will be picking a few of our favorites and have them answered. We’ll post the answers in a future post. Looking forward to your responses.

Take Care!

P.S. Thank you for all the responses from the previous awareness/suicide post. I was a bit hesitant to share the story since this topic can be very sensitive. However, based on the overwhelmingly positive response we’ll be doing more of these real-life stories in the future. We truly appreciate our Hotlist and are very proud that we rarely have negative or trashy comments like some other sites. You guys are top-notch and we hope you feel the same about us.

  1. Dale,
    Do you think a tactical flashlight is a useful item to have on one’s self all the time? If so, how is it best utilized in a self-defense situation?
    Thank you!

  3. Mr. Dale Comstock, first of all, thank you for your service! What do you recommend for somebody who had a back surgery for removal of bone fragments (3) and a herniated disk. (As far as self defense). I plan on getting in shape but it will be slow and take some time. I will be 62 this June but I am not going to let that stop me. Thanks.

  4. Hi Dale,

    I have 2 questions

    1) Firstly, this is NOT a criticism of you. There is no doubt that your personal skills are far, far greater than mine. (I was a sapper then a grunt both specializing in recce and small unit tactics) My concern is that your background in spec ops and then as a contractor, (and you’re built like a brick shithouse; and I’m built like a wimp) you find it difficult to have empathy with those of us who are ancient, weak and who can only take a low profile.

    How can we adapt your extensive knowledge to those of us who are lesser mortals? and,

    2) To plagiarize the SEALs, “if one is none, and two is one” why doesn’t anyone in the modern movement advise the carrying of two handguns?

  7. My main question has always been:why do so many people go for large caliber hand guns when a hand gun is primarily a close quarters weapon,{My favorite has always been a 32.20}/specifically a 32.20 swift by Rugar,a 9m style sliding breach makes it an easy carry,and it’s unobtrusive but just as deadly as larger calibers when used for it’s intended purpose.

  9. I worry about being surrounded by several atackers at one time,like in a parking lot. They may not be showing weapons,but are crowding and threatening. I’m a concealed carry,but wonder if I’m the one who will go to jail in a confrontation,if I use my weapon. I’m disabled and unable to put up a lot of fight. I’m always trying to survey the area for possible trouble,to avoid such a attack,but this really worries me. Please help with advice.

  10. What do you consider the most effective home defense weapon, to deter and incapacitate an intruder, long enough for restraint or escape?
    In CA shooting is not an option as we would likely be prosecuted and jailed under our left wing regime.

  12. a friend told me it cost to much to get concealed carry. He told me it wasn’t worth spending the time and money. Is he correct?

  14. My question for Dale Comstock is…I have a ballpoint pen that has a wicked very sharp knife in the bottom section. To look at it you would not think that it is
    anything but a pen. But is it considered to be a concealed deadly weapon when you take it with you? I should not have to be afraid that I will be charged with a crime? It does not do much good if you own it but cannot have it with you when you need it. Thank you

    My question is this:
    What is your preferred handgun and why do you like it?

    Thanks for your answer to us all !

  22. How can I tell or what is the tell-tale warnings of a bad guy, male or female? Mannerisms,the way he walks, his speech, whether he’s smoking or drinking at the time. I would hate to harm a innocent and some folks mean well, but that’s only a hand full.

  23. Dale;
    My question has to do with home defense and something that my wife can rely on in a last ditch situation. (Situation might be to prevent armed robbery, rape or home invasion.) That’s something would have to be portable and put the fear of God into someone approaching her. Either the fear of God or death, or at least turn the situation to her favor. My thoughts were something like a small hand-held/portable Claymore, with a wide angle, limited kick and maybe one or two rounds. My beginning thoughts would be something like a small double blunderbuss or something on that order, but the small portable claymore sounds like more fun.

    We certainly appreciate all that you have done for us with your service and what you are doing now with this project. May God Bless You and yours.

  24. Hello Dale.
    What is your final bug out/bug in indicator? To be more clear (if needed) What event will it take to make you disappear into the tundra or nail your doors shut?
    If I may ask two questions. What are you views on “survival hunting” ? I have friends that think they’ll be Batman of the boondock and survive by huntings. They spend the big buck on weapons, but not a cent on food storage, medical gear or water filters.

  29. Dale, first and foremost thank you for your service.
    My question: when I’m about to engage in a fight I get very anxious and nervous which clouds my thinking and reactions. I literally get knots in my stomach and shaky. How, or can this be overcome?

    Thank you, Sonny

  33. Dave, I am an old fart and my CCW is a S/W Airweight, 38 Special. Can I use +P rounds for self defense and the .38 Special for range and training? If I can’t or should not, will you recommend a self defense round?

  34. The school yard bullies have escalated from picking on the younger/smaller/weaker person to a barrage of political correctness, tolerance and of course the extreme violence. What should we be teaching our 10-15 year old children about how to handle themselves in the school yard?

  38. Hello Dale and thank you for your service. I was wondering what is your favorite gun or knife in a home defense operation. When is the best time to strike your intruder and what methods are most effective?

  39. What are the 5 most important [effective] measures I can take to protect my home and family in times of civil unrest?

  40. Hi Dale there are probably two scenarios I would like an answer to:

    Q1. When things come falling down and you’re trapped in the city; what’s the best items & strategy to have for my family’s protection as I don’t own any firearms?

    Q2. When things come falling down and hopefully I have got my family safely to the countryside with my camping gear etc; what are the essential survival items (obviously apart from food & water), that we must have in order to survive? Again we don’t own firearms!

  42. Thank you for what you do. I served in the US Army for 30 years.
    1. It is obvious that Obama is waging war on US citizens on multiple fronts. Do you have any thoughts on when he will “pull the trigger” to unleash open warfare on the country. and in what areas of the country will it start?
    2. With all the changes in the Army over the last 8 years there is a lot of debate as to whether the US Military will actually fire on civilians?
    3. Was Jade Helm 15 actually preparation for imposition of martial law when people in the southwest US decide they have had enough of “Open Borders”?

  43. I found Krav Maga to be a top martial arts training, if not THE TOP. I injured myself a few years back and I still cannot return to training. I have to use a walker to move around the house; and a motorized scooter outside. One of the many things I cannot do is get up from the ground and I cannot kick. Is there any martial art system that us disabled senior citizens can use for self defense?

    Reply

  44. As a senior citizen with limited mobility and flexibility resulting from a major illness during my youth I am concerned with issues of self defense and home protection. Not being able to move fast and having to use a cane, do you have any suggestions on defense and security preparedness for seniors?

  45. dear Dale, in all your hard-fought years in and out of combat, what is your favorite self-defense move that can be applied to the dangerous streets of America? a move that is easy to learn basically, but can stop the worst bully/thug quickly. l’m going on 69 years of age and worry all the time some punk is going to make hamburger out of me. especially when being heavy and out of shape and they know it. thank you, Dale….

  46. Dale, I’m concerned about protection in my home with the way the world is becoming. I’m a Vietnam vet living overseas where firearms, crossbows, nor long bows are allowed. Although I’ve been in combat many years ago this is a totally different scenario and being a foreigner I think I’d be a prime target for looters etc if (when) the SHTF. 28 years of martial arts training, proficient in nunchaku, sai, bo, tsai,(swords not allowed) as well as studied many of FightFast’s street fighting techniques, including knife throwing but know there’s more I can learn for more peace of mind. I need help in coming up with tactics to keep people out and perhaps have improvised longer range (25-50 feet) weapons to do so. What tricks would you have up your sleeve in this kind of situation…especially for a 66 year old (in pretty good physical condition). My wife and I live alone and the house has most windows barred with stainless steel. I’m thinking bamboo poles with a knife attached (spears) for keeping 6-10 feet distances. Simply too old to bug out and would stick out like a sore thumb as a westerner in Taiwan. Just want a fighting chance to protect my wife and property, a 5 story condo complex with 19 units. Mine is at the end so only have one side uncovered and opens into a large rice field. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  50. Dear Dale…. There are many people who are disabled, some more than others. .. but maybe one of the most common issues they might face is being frail and/or generally weak without strength or stature. ..that said, what would you recommend for a weapon of self defense in the home and easiest way to practice using that weapon…. this is assuming that all the other home protection measures are taken but regardless your home is invaded…and you live ALONE. Thank you and God bless.
