IBSSA official publication 2006‘It is well known about you in the professionthat you received diversified trainingbut your strength is shooting.’‘My speciality is Middle East, where I spentyears. I learnt and taught there. I worked as abodyguard, expert and advisor. I also learnt inthe USA, but I mainly worked there, carryingout several tasks. Of course, my work took meto other countries too but these two placesdominated in my life.’‘As far as I know, you also had a Russianemployer.’‘I have got good references.’‘It is definitely to your benefit that eventhese days you finish senior competitionsin the top positions.’‘I take part in some competition each week.Recently, a new competition was launched inHungary under the auspices of IDPA –International Defensive Pistol Association –which is very close to the situational competitionof bodyguards. Naturally, you can onlyshoot with a standard gun like in IBSSA competitions.The guns which may be used in IPSCopen category have been equipped with an electro-pointlaser target device, which significantlyassists the accuracy of the shot. Otherwise Iconstantly train myself and lead courses all overthe world. I love situational shooting in internationalcompetitions in the 3-guns categoryincluding shotguns, guns and pistols. I have gotgood results. I am the Hungarian senior championof IPSC category, situational category. Ihave a team gold medal from an IPA competition(International Police Association), I wassecond in the shotgun competition organisedby IDPA in Kentucky, USA. Competitions areorganised with machine guns regularly there,attended by former members of armed forces aswell as representatives of the civil sector. Theseshooting competitions clearly assist the situationrecognition skills, speed, alertness, abilitiesand determination of bodyguards.’‘I have seen some of your weapons. They arevery rare and special.’‘If I am right, my collection consists ofapproximately 50 weapons which unfortunatelycannot be kept at one place. I have huntingweapons, corporate weapons, these legalweapons, I have a shooting club, involvingsports weapons, and I have got my ownweapons which represent my own property.‘I have also got historical weapons, e.g., aWorld War One long-barrel machine gun,Luger, from Erfurt in 1914, including also acompatible sling, a leather case and woodenstock. I have a weapon which was used duringthe landing in Normandy in 1944, including a45-calibre Thompson. Of course, theseweapons are only suitable for individual shots.I have a P39 from Wermacht, the Second WorldWar, which also includes a sling and a case. Ialso own modern weapons, various revolvers, a45 colt, a BT96, which is the civilian version ofMP. My name is also engraved in it, as it wasspecifically made for me in Switzerland. It is aspecial weapon because it carries my date ofbirth, in its serial number. My self-defenceweapon is a Sig Sauer 228, 9mm one. This iswhat I carry on me each day. I also have aWalter, which was used in Luftwaffe, as a specialweapon. New weapons are usuallydesigned on the basis of old ones, they are modifiedversions, therefore I of course regularlyread the technical literature. I have very goodunderstanding of not only old but also newweapons. I can say that I am up-to-date inweapons.’‘What is your responsibility in IBSSA?’‘I supervise and coordinate the activities ofthe Shooting Committee, and organise furthertraining of IBSSA shooter members. In addition,I am the shooting advisor of IBSSA president.Although we did not talk about it, butthere is one more subject, which is very close tomy heart, the fight against drugs. I think thattwo things threaten the world which is not inwar these days, terrorism and drugs or I mayeven say narco-terrorism. This latter one is atleast as dangerous as the spectacular bombingsand massacres. This is why I represent IBSSAat the INAOA (International NarcoticAfforcement Officers Association) centre inthe USA.31
