58- Randy from Direct Action Combat: From Tip of the Spear to Spearheading Training in Canada

Modern Canadian Shooter Podcast

It's not often that you get to have a former Canadian Tier 1 operator on your show, let alone talk to one. But on this episode, we get the pleasure of doing just that! Randy Turner comes on to the MCS Podcast to talk about his Ottawa based training company "Direct Action Combat", as well as talk about his philosophy when it comes to training and being prepared.
Randy spent 16 years in JTF 2, Canada's world renowned Tier 1 special operations unit as an assaulter. After leaving the Canadian Forces in 2019, he went on to start Direct Action Combat. Direct Action provides many forms of training to both professionals and civilians. Randy and Pat share some of their experiences and approaches when it comes to firearms training in Canada, both from the perspective of the student and the instructor.
The discussion progresses into why most people feel the need for training when it comes to firearms and hands on skills, and how the changing landscape of the modern world has started opening up peoples minds to the need for it. Randy and Pat recall recent events that stand out in their minds as catalysts for change when it comes to the average person being prepared.
From there, the discussion shifts to concentric rings of security when it comes to one's personal safety when at home. Using recent events, the two dive into their philosophies and thought processes on what that should look like and how the average person can set themselves up for success.
