Conceal and Carry School on SPIKE TV

[Seancass]

It's on right now! Has anybody ever seen this before. It looks like it was a self defense school where they feature one person(student) for every episode.

So far, i like it. Lots of talk about Ruger, which i like. So far they havn't said anything like "ruger is the best thing ever." But they have already used the word "tactical."

Who else is watching?

What is the name of the show?

OH, that is the name of the show!!!

Watching it now.

 

[Seancass]

I think it's called Conceal and Carry School.

I saw this a few weeks ago and have DVR'd them.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at what they were teaching. It wasn't watered down for TV, and I heard discussion on "proper mindset" and other important aspects besides the same ol' stance and grip.

That dark haired girl looks really familiar! Hmmmmm..... Think it's sponsored by Ruger?
Don't like the fact that they point weapons and shoot at each other though. Even with blanks accidents/tragedies can happen. JMHO.

I've never seen it before. It's interesting, but i think I'd like to see more than one episode at a time. I'm hoping it doesn't leave me with a tiny bit of info and wanting to see a lot more.

I just filed my CCW, so this is especially relevant for me. (sorry LTCH)

Wow, i didn't know SPIKE had 2 hours of self defence shows on saturday mornings. Of course, i don't remember the last time i was awake early on a saturday. That's exciting, wish i had DVR!

Congrats on the LTCH. (its not a CCW in Indiana) Thanks for the heads-up on the show, I'll have to catch it next time.

Just checked the listings on Spike. Looks like they're filling out the rest of the day with Sly Stallone movies, starting with "Cobra".

I think it's pretty obvious it's sponsored by Ruger and they say that many times. And she openly admits that she works for Ruger.

Apparently this was the second to last episode of the season. They just said "Next time" was the wrap up, Where-are-they-now episode.

Without pointing guns that can work/go bang, how do you get that intense situational demo stuff? I think that would be very stressful and could teach a lot.

But i'm new to this defensive shooting stuff, so I don't know much yet.

That's why I used the pink text. I was going by all the Ruger guns and hats. Plus I posted that comment before she said she worked for Ruger. I don't think I'd do well with having guns pointed at me, even if I loaded the blanks myself. Just not a thing I'd want to do. Again, JMHO...

This show is similar to other shows like he best defense. Anytime these principles can be broadcasted to a mass audience it is a good thing.

 

[D.T.O.M.]

I have watched it a couple of times. There are also some others on before it.
That are firearms and training related. They are all interesting to watch.

It is a great show, from about 9-11 on Spike there are only shows on concealed carry and tactical shooting. I watch it every Saturday and there is some great info on there. I would definitely recommend watching it sometime.

 

[00BlasterResto]

Hmm. I missed it...........

 

[derrickgoins]

Been DVR'ing it for the last couple weeks. It's a pretty good block of shows - they had some of the officers invovled with the North Hollywood shootout in 1997 on there on a previous episode. The conceal and carry school is pretty neat - they show each of the students going through "graduation" scenario each week. The best part is that they actually broadcast the feedback from the instructor which is the most important part for the student and the people watching the show to hear. Good Stuff.

Can't find it after doing a search. I'll keep looking

 

[GARANDGUY]

Thanks for the info! I will have to set the DVR. I too dont agree with pointing guns at others unless theyre gonna die!

Never? What about in a training environment? With blue guns?

The addition of FOF training cannot be under estimated.

While I personally favor airsoft for FOF, I wouldn't be against using real firearms.

esrice, what see displayed in comments like that are a traditional "square range" mentality. It's also the majority opinion of those who carry on a daily basis. "I gots me a See-See-dubya and I gots the 4 hour NeeRAye class, I's a bad mofo!"

Sucks, but thats life and they live their lives by one liners

I watched the link to the first program... I must say I'm a bit nauseous seeing so many rugers. Aside from that, I'm not seeing any sort of real caliber of training of either. It's edited for TV so obviously those 40 minutes are a compression of probably 40 hours worth of footage.

I think the class would have been better suited using instructors from frontsight, suarez or tactical response. Again, with all the ruger crap, you know it's going to be a weak as possible from old Bill "locap" ruger.

I was also pleased they took the time to show the difference between shall/may and no permit needed states at the same time I was disappointed they didn't mention that Open Carry is legal in 43 states.

Personally it looks like an hour long infomercial for ruger and that 'school'.

Better than nothing I suppose.

Oh a big +1 to them for showing the DC murder graph vs the US graph for the same time period.
