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.

How To Pick Locks. (Who Needs Keys?)

You may find this shocking, but picking open a standard "tumbler" lock, (like the one on your front door), is pretty damn easy when you know how it's done.

And in a "meltdown" survival situation, (once the smash-n-grab crowd has stolen everything not tied-down), the food and water and secure shelter will all be behind locked doors, (which explains why Special Forces are often trained in lock picking... and why they carry a set of lock pics with them).

It's a lot of fun learning this skill, (it doesn't take long)... and kinda nice to help out that buddy locked out of his house after the wife discovered what really happened on that "no money down" real estate seminar in Vegas.

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. For people who can not afford a home security system, is there a way one could make one that is in inexpensive that could be used,
    for doors and windows especially if the power is out.

  2. Dele can we have your Team or liasen office in my country Nigera?

  3. As a U.S. citizen with a felony conviction in Illinois over 20 years ago how can I legally own and buy firearms?

  4. 1) What do you know about the legal aspects of using a knife? We hear a great deal regarding the legal repercussions of using a gun to defend yourself, but what about using a knife? I imagine the legal repercussions might be similar.

    2) Do you make it a point to warn people that if they have a weapon (whatever that weapon may be) that if they do not know how to retain it, it can easily be used against them?

    Thank you

  5. Hi Dale, how about some pointers and/or advice for someone such as myself, a 68 year old woman, disable because of two strokes. I can afford a handgun even though I know how to use one, but I have the Stryker knife and several other’s offered by this website and others. We’ve had break-ins all around our County and feel the need to know something that I can do to keep myself safe if the unthinkable should happen. (I have 4 dogs, all very small (Chi’s) and, even though they can make a lot of noise, I doubt they could do much actual damage.)

    Thank you so much.

    ps, thanks for serving to protect our Country. My husband is retired Navy and I a former Woman Marine.

  10. Dale,

    If you had to make an emergency, split-second decision and only had one choice of survival sheath knife to “grab-‘n’-go”, what would it be (make, model, length, features, etc.)? Why THAT specific knife???

  12. Regarding home defense in a more urban community setting – it has been suggested that a hand gun would likely be a better choice than a shot gun with some person or persons trying to gain entry. Thoughts on this scenario?

  14. Hi Dale thanks for being a righteous Man who gives me hope that not all are corrupt and greedy. My question is what’s the most important thing to prepare for. Thanks

  15. Mr. Comstock, I would like to see more about what older people can do to protect themselves. Especially older women. While I am not in a wheel chair, I have had friends who had to use them on a daily basis. There are those who have had joint replacements as well. So, some techniques that us older folks can use would be greatly appreciated I am sure. I know I would. Our bones and bodies just don’t move like we want them to anymore so we have to think outside of the box, so to speak.

    Thank you for asking us about what we want to see about self protection techniques.

  16. Hi Dale, My question is this. In an Ar platform in .556 cal. what grain bullet do you have in your go to gun?

  18. Dale: As you served, I served our country for 30 plus years albeit in very different specialties. As I have aged into retirement, so have I expanded. 🙁 Expanded to the point that a normal concealed holster does work for me in the pocket of hip zones and falling to the ground to grab my ankle concealed is my last and seeming only resort. As such, ankle weapons are not the best to ensure my or someones else’s safety. I am still an above average shot with most weapons. Can you relay and words of wisdom (other than lose weight – that ship has sailed) on the best way to carry and defend ones self that might work for gentlemen of my stature. Thank you and for your service.

  19. Dale,
    I find it difficult to always be on heightened alert. Do you have any techniques for quickly shifting from relaxed to full on aggression when the situation arises and being able to use your mind and training without hesitation? Thanks Tony

  21. Hey Dale,
    Little background to set up the question, I am a totally disabled Vietnam vet, I have been singled out for an attack twice in the last year, I guess because I walk with a cane and I am “obviously” crippled. Once I talked them down, the next time I had to put him and his friend down. Hmm, just noticed its always been groups, but anyway my wife is worried I may go to jail for assault as there are never witnesses but the hooligans. I was taught in service, if you have a problem put them down, and hard, so they don’t come back. I am hearing a lot of talk lately about “measured response”. The only response I know is they are down I am not. Where is the line? A Vet friend said “If you kill them they can’t testify”, obviously that’s extreme, but I am concerned as the attacks are more frequent and more brutal, not only am I in danger but my 68 yr old wife as well, I am good for a minute but if things are prolonged I will have a major problem. Yes I have a CCW , but as yet, not drawn my weapon and won’t unless I intend to shoot it and that I guess will take care of itself if it happens. But short of that,. Where is the line?

  23. First off, thank you for your service to our country. My question for you is this…What would you consider to be the most important factor to surviving a CQC situation? I live in a pretty rough area and have had a few issues with invasion. So far I’ve not had to use lethal force but figure it’s just a matter of time.

  26. What is the guns you would suggest that someone should have for personal protection and for a bugout property?

  28. So far I have not noticed any strikes to the nose. If my recollection is correct, this is one deadly method to defend yourself in a dire situation because the strike could kill someone.
    Is this still a viable method, or is there an issue about initiating that kind of strike?

  29. I have seen how to get out of choke holds by stomping on insteps, kicking at knees, reaching back and grabbing the groin and using your elbows to fight, but how do you get out of a garrote if someone comes up and slips it around your neck? Especially if you are sitting down?

  30. My name is Ben Huston, am a Vietnam Vet. The city council passed a law that all mags beyond 15 rounds are to own. Also our Lt. Gov Calvin Newson (ex-mayor of San Fran), if he becomes governor wants a law to ban all mags greater than 15 rounds, have 3 mags with 15 round capacity. Have had these prior to the 1994 state law Will refuse to given them up. What’s your opinion on this?

    Reply

  32. First I want to Thank you for your Service! I would like to clear up an argument between my husband and I, we have our CCW and my husband says we can legally carry our weapons loaded as long as we have the safety on. I don’t think a CCW grants us the right to carry around a loaded weapon. Am I wrong about this or is it perfectly alright to do as long as we hold a CCW as my husband says.

  45. Vietnam veteran here.

    Isn’t it best to not be noticed in the first place, to be invisible to the casual observer, or the predator.

    I spent almost five years undercover, with no “opportunity” for violence …

  47. Firstly,Thanks for the opportunity,I’m a Canadian born,Who served in Nam,Due to my present Can. involvements I remain in the loop up here so pardon my discretionary intro. in service ,Close quarters combat I quickly learned to use my index finger as my target acquisition method and my second finger has my trigger. Contrary to basic training,Why these and other adaptive skills are not mentioned is a question I often wonder,I know other combat survivors collectively sharing such info would be game changing insight.
