"When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes - remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education - make them hunters."

Henry David Thoreau, 1854


“A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it.” - Robert Boatman

Training in The Grand Valley



As was pointed out by Gene at Living the Grand Life I (dean0) helped teach a couple of NRA classes over that last weekend (June 21,22--2008). We had a great time with some great students.
I have been involved in NRA basic courses in Mesa County for a number of years (since 1994).
Also I have been involved in a very minor role in some other training that has taken place in Mesa County as well.

From time to time Alone Stivi brings his experts to Grand Junction and trains our citizens as well as our "protectors".

Direct Measures International is unlike any other security company in the world. We provide a full range of interdisciplinary training, consulting and protective services.

When faced with adversity, people look for PROVEN SOLUTIONS. Our team of elite American and Israeli operators and security specialists has over fifty years of DIRECT experience combating terrorism and violence.
