I went to the National Tactical Invitational for the first time in 2005. Among the many things they do is a "Panel Discussion" where a group of "experts" is assembled and the audience asks a question and each panelist gives his answer. Skip decided to invite me to the panel.

I new a lot of the folks there but many people had no idea who I was. The questioning began and after about the third question I realized I was the only one cussing and saying some really un-pc stuff.

At the end of the discusson I stood up and said something to the effect of "Sorry Skip didn't warn you folks. I am like the Andrew Dice Clay of the tactical world." They laughed their asses off...even the ones I offended.
