re: #72 Rightwingconspirator

Sure. I’m that guy you mention. Expert in tactical weapons for self defense. Now this is the internet. We have some worthwhile trust between us about who we are and what we have done. But the media fails me- I can’t show you the result of the curriculum I was taught and learned to impart to nascent instructors of the same skill set. Got no video, no links to test results or how they did in a gunfight or false alarm. Given the topic at hand that’s frustrating. How might I get past spoken assertions? If we were not so darn far apart we would visit a my range and I’d show you what tests we put forth what the curriculum is. Hang with the police SWAT trainer and kick around police vs civilian training. get in a room with a couple tactical guys and kick this stuff around.

I really am not getting you. WHat is it you’re trying to convince me of? That you teach good things? I’m sure you do.

it’s like flying. talking is nice but nothing beats getting in a plane and showing how the flight training plays out in the air. I have everything in place to show you tactical except we are thousands of miles apart.

So what? It’s nothing I have to see for myself. What I want is for people who have guns for self defense to actually need them, and to be trained well enough in them that they can use them effectively, even when woken up at two AM and panicked and scared. I know that that is a lot higher level of training than the detective-endorsed course, and that a regular testing component is not part of requirements these days.

It’d be far cry from what a lot of states allow, the incredible, almost comically low standards for having a weapon in the home these days.
