      Prioritization of training

      What things should you or shouldn't you say to the cops after a shooting? What experience do you have with this? Have you been a police officer before?

      Prioritization of training

      Good points BBI and Coach. My experience has been that if you take good courses for numbers 1 and 2, they will include basic legal elements (when you are justified to shoot, never talking to the cops after a shooting, etc). But I see your points. And I already carry a revolver as a backup, so...

      Prioritization of training

      I feel like a chump for trying to post anythig after Tom Givens, but I will give it a shot. When people ask me "where do I start" in regards to carrying a gun, I try to convey that it's a lifestyle of training and not just one type of training. Here is a quick list I threw together in my...

      Run or Cower?

      That "fighting spirit" is the most often overlooked aspect of carrying a gun and using it. I guess that's what prompted me to post in the first place-I saw several people whom I know on here as firearms instructors telling people its ok to run away. I understand each situation has individual...

      Gunsite in Indiana

      3 days for $1,100? That must be a typo. And only 800 rounds over three days?

      Run or Cower?

      If people are dying and you're physically there-then you need to be there.

      Run or Cower?

      There have been a lot of variables thrown out on the thread, but here is my opinion: If I ran out of there and the gunman killed 50 people who were "waiting" for help, I'd never be able to forgive myself. Sure, not being armed and up against an armed attacker would be tough, but a proper...

      Shivworks-ECQC Review

      Good question. I would have to say it is two things. First, it was the realization of getting the better position before you even think about pulling out your gun. Previous to this class, I thought if I was on the ground, I would just pull my gun out and solve the problem. Now I have seen...

      MALC Institute

      A good friend of mine took a rifle class and he was very dissapointed. He said it was a lot of "show, unload, clear" BS and very little shooting.

      Force on Force training opportunities in Indianapolis

      I have taken all but one of the FoF classes with Mindset. I have had force on force training with my police department as well as my military unit and I've taken a FoF class with another civilian company. Mindset is my favorite force on force company I have ever trained with. I can't...

      Immediate Action Medical-Tactical Response

      They always know why you're there. Mostly because when you go out to eat there are about 20 guys with you.

      First Training

      That's because it's not very hard to point a gun at or near someone when teaching SUL. Especially if you're close to other people, or you start moving around.

      First Training

      Others have answered but I will throw my opinion in here too. I don't recommend NRA courses for two reasons: First, I am an RSO. When I took the class, I was excited to be around other like minded people who have a passion for guns-this couldn't have been further from the truth. The vast...

      We should have worn name tags. Youre on my short list of Indiana people to train with.

      Defensive Shotgun-Rangemaster

      Buckshot and 9mm rounds penetrate about the same in a home. I'd say if you're comfortable with having a 9mm handgun for home defense, a shotgun isn't any worse. I use a 9mm for home defense, but thats because I have a 2 year old and I dont have a way to secure my shotgun in a way I can get to...
