The Grey Range Podcast – Ep. 06 w/ Earl Green – “Phase Line Green”
Phase Line Green Tactical
Earl Green
Life is strange. If you get off the couch and start poking around the edges of this crazy world, you can uncover some wonderful surprises and some truly life changing experiences. Every once in a while, if you’re lucky, dumb, or brave enough, you’ll encounter a rare creature. The kind you didn’t know still existed in the real world. Earl Green is one of those rare creatures, in a country where his kind are getting harder and harder to come by.
Earl is the owner/operator of Phase Line Green Tactical, a company that offers firearms training to the civilian and LEO market here in Canada. That’s how I met him, many years ago, and how we forged a friendship over time spent on the range, and during long conversations after training, over a steak and a few cold beers. Some of the best conversations I’ve been lucky to have in my life.
We were fortunate enough to catch Earl while he was in our neck of the woods offering some training, and he was kind enough to find time in his busy schedule to come and have a conversation with us about his life, his experiences as an LEO, and how he came to find himself in northern Alberta, teaching a bunch of good folks how to safely and effectively handle firearms.
As you’ll learn from this podcast, Earl is a fountain of knowledge. He’s a good man and a great teacher. If you’re interested in learning more about firearms safety, shooting, or security, you won’t do much better than to attend one of Phase Line Green’s courses.
This was a great conversation. Again, one I count myself fortunate enough to have had. Glad we could share it with you.
Thanks again, Earl, for taking the time. Can’t wait to do it again!
We hope you find this episode as much fun to watch and listen to as we did making it.
