That's why I strongly encourage anyone who carries to always get more training from reputable instructors. I try to take a new training class every year just to keep sharp and hopefully pick up a few new techniques, and I encourage others who go armed to do likewise.

I'm not the best on the planet but instruction like that does a disservice to the students and the whole legal gun owner community.<br /><br />I run across it here too. It makes my blood boil. For people to spend 8 hours with me in CCW classes does NOT give them the ability to efficiently and decisively run a pistol for personal defense. As Jeff Cooper said. <br /><br />I still work on the art of running a handgun and long guns as well. I have shot stuff for over 40 years and still have much to learn. <br /><br /> Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-48198219694754563052012-12-30T20:53:20.230-06:002012-12-30T20:53:20.230-06:00Yep, all kinds of critters out there teaching a CC...Yep, all kinds of critters out there teaching a CCW class - without any idea just what the heck that means. I'm glad you had the opportunity to share some of your experience with them.<br /><br />Shameless plug here - I created a "basic pistol course" from posts I have done. It shares alot of the basics with new and inexperienced shooters. Your friends may find value in it. Here's the link:<br /><br />http://eiaft.blogspot.com/2012/09/training-basic-pistol-course.html<br /><br />I enjoyed your post about Murphy snagging a fry pan . . . . pretty ingenious critter you have there. I suspect he can't wait for New Year's Eve treats!<br /><br />Have a great New Year sir!<br /><br />Billeiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.com
