Instructor Mike Brown, MA tackles American criminal justice issues others may be afraid to speak on. Instructor Michael A. Mr. No Excuses. Just Solutions.
Brown, MA is the President of The No Excuses Foundation. Instructor Brown, a native Chicagoan, is a decorated United States Army veteran and an accomplished law enforcement professional who has dedicated his life to public selfless service in various low-to-middle income south suburban Chicago municipal police departments, having served a decade in correctional, patrol, traffic enforcement (DUI/seatbelt/speeding suppression operations), training, supervisory, administrative and internal affairs capacities. Brown is an advocate of education and is a graduate of Governors State University in University Park, Illinois, having been conferred a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Criminal Justice, Psychology and Philosophy) in 2006 and a Master of Arts degree in Criminal Justice in 2012. Brown has attended numerous professional law enforcement courses, logging over 800 hours of law enforcement class hours. Brown serves as an innovative and fresh approach to leadership, training, and empowerment. He is a member of the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association and the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. He is a contributor to Fox 32 Chicago's New segments on policing and Law Officer.com. Brown recognized during his military and law enforcement career that in this economy, the great-paying careers are hard to find. They often require advanced education beyond the confines of life's realities that show that, more often than not, families begin before the pursuits of one's desired career can be actualized. However, there are occupational fields that provide short-term training and are often gateways into careers. The desire to pursue their career path, once started, is often met with familial and child-rearing duties (lack of babysitters or great distances from child care to job training), monetary shortages, and lack of transportation to go to the multiple job training, uniform, child care, and pre-employment ancillary sites. These realities often leads to job seekers providing understandable reasons that often prohibit one's desire to gain the employment skills to obtain meaningful entry-level employment. It was on this need that The No Excuses Foundation was born. Founded in 2016 by native Chicagoan and US Army veteran Michael A. Brown, MA, The No Excuses Foundation mission is to empower people to gain the ability to control their rendezvous with destiny through provision of the necessary resources to obtain employment in various occupational fields. Imagine a one-stop shop accessible to public transportation where one company foresees the most common excuses prohibiting good people from reaching their short and long term goals and meets their excuses with solutions. If you can imagine this, well imagine no more for we, The No Excuses Foundation, are here.
This. Stay out of the vehicle fatal funnel. Or sum like that. I tried to tag the original person in the video. But if this is your video, let me know so I can tag you.
It’s my favorite time of the month. Renewal. That’s when people come to take a class after 4 1/2 years or four and three-quarter years or 4 4/5 years and they’re ready to renew their license because the Illinois state police told them they had to take a class in order to get their license renewed.
Breathe in. Exhale. OK here we go.
Small guns still require you to do the fundamentals. Perhaps even more because you got the same caliber coming out of a smaller platform. Even though it’s a .380ACP.
and yes. Jesus has a middle name.
LucyMack I get what you’re saying. But even with something bigger, it does nothing if they don’t practice.
I know sometimes you all ask a question do I ever refuse a student service. Well here we are.
We talk about a fi****ms training session where the instructor determines that the student is not taking the process seriously and suggests they may not be suited for guns, recommending trying a different instructor or a female instructor for a better perspective.
I invite the other students in for their perspective and boy did they give it. They witnessed it.
It is what it is. Or maybe it’s just me. I don’t know. What are your thoughts?
Let’s talk.
Firearm Disassembly: Procedure Chunking for Mastery
We talk about the importance of mastering small, fundamental firearm handling steps—like disassembling the firearm, after ensuring the firearm is unloaded, separating the slide assembly from the grip assembly—through repetition and chunking, rather than rushing through the next step in the process.

This is a way. More than one way to clear a jam, malfunction, stoppage, thingy-don’t-pew-no-mo.
Firearm Safety Rules Broken: A Tragic Lesson from a Viral Video
We discuss a tragic incident where a young woman accidentally shot her male friend and then herself after breaking three fundamental firearm safety rules: assuming every firearm is loaded, pointing it in a safe direction, and keeping her finger off the trigger. We emphasize that this video is not to mock but to educate, highlighting how her finger hooked deeply into the trigger when she turned her head. We explore how children often mimic what they see, referencing Albert Bandura’s social learning theory, and stress the importance of teaching firearm safety rules to children, regardless of circumstances, to prevent such tragedies.
