Biography

Dave Grossman
Lt. Colonel, U.S. Army (ret.)

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is an internationally recognized scholar, author, soldier, and speaker who is one of the world’s foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the roots of violence and violent crime.

Col. Grossman was a West Point psychology professor, Professor of Military Science, and an Army Ranger who has combined his experiences to become the founder of a new field of scientific endeavor, which has been termed “Killology.” In this new field Col. Grossman has made revolutionary new contributions to our understanding of killing in war, the psychological costs of war, the root causes of the current “virus” of violent crime that is raging around the world, and the process of healing the victims of violence, in war and peace.

He is the author of On Killing, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; has been translated into Japanese, Korean, and German; is on the US Marine Corps Commandant’s Required Reading List; and is required reading at the FBI academy and numerous other academies and colleges. Col. Grossman co-authored Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence, which has been translated into Norwegian and German, and has received international acclaim. Col. Grossman’s next book was On Combat, which has also placed on the US Marine Corps Commandant’s Required Reading List and is translated into Japanese and Korean. His most recent book is Warrior Mindset, which applies sport psychology and performance psychology to military and law enforcement.

Col. Grossman has been called upon to write the entry on “Aggression and Violence” in the Oxford Companion to American Military History, three entries in the Academic Press Encyclopedia of Violence and numerous entries in scholarly journals, to include the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.

He has presented papers before the national conventions of the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

He has presented to over 100 different colleges and universities world-wide, and he has trained educators and law enforcement professional, in the field of school safety, at the state and regional level, in all 50 states and over a dozen foreign nations.

He helped train mental health professionals after the Jonesboro school shootings, and he was also involved in counseling or court cases in the aftermath of the Paducah, Springfield, Littleton, Virginia Tech, and Nickel Mines, PA Amish school shootings.

He has been an expert witness and consultant in state and Federal courts, to include serving on the prosecution team in UNITED STATES vs. TIMOTHY MCVEIGH.

He has testified before U.S. Senate and Congressional committees and numerous state legislatures, and he and his research have been cited in a national address by the President of the United States.

Col. Grossman is an Airborne Ranger infantry officer, and a prior-service sergeant and paratrooper, with over 23 years of experience in leading U.S. soldiers worldwide. He retired from the Army in February 1998 and has devoted himself full-time to teaching, writing, speaking, and research. Today he is the director of the Killology Research Group, and in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks he is on the road almost 300 days a year, training elite military and law enforcement organizations worldwide about the reality of combat.

MCRGO Update

Ranger Firearm Instruction — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:58:10 +0000

Monday, August 29, 2011

The most recent (August 2011) County by County CPL report is now available for download from the Michigan State Police web site. According to the MSP report, as of August 25, 2011 there were 281,843 concealed pistol license holders in Michigan. Click here to download.

Lawful Concealed Pistol License (CPL) Holders in Michigan

Legislative Update

Michigan Senate Bill 525 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee last week without amendment and is now before the full Senate. The bill cleans up flaws in the language of the current law dealing with CPL renewals.

The bill would amend the handgun licensure law to do both of the following:

Specify that an application to renew a license to carry a concealed pistol could be submitted not more than six months before the current license expired.

Provide that the effective date of an approved license renewal would be the date the current license expired or the date the renewal was approved, whichever was later.

Under the law, a concealed pistol license (CPL) issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2006, is valid until the applicant’s date of birth that falls not less than four years or more than five years after the license is issued or renewed. A renewal of a license generally must be issued in the same manner as an original license. The concealed weapon licensing board must issue or deny a renewal license within 60 days after an application for renewal is properly submitted. The bill specifies that an application to renew a CPL could be submitted not more than six months before the expiration of the current license.

Under the bill, if the concealed weapon licensing board approved a license renewal, the effective date of the renewal CPL would be the date of expiration of the current license or the date of approval of the renewal, whichever was later. The expiration date of a renewed CPL would be the applicant’s date of birth that was not less than four years or more than five years from the date of issuance.
