Only been the handful of shows but this one was good. Much bigger than I expected. Turned into a long day of walking. Picked up a few small stuff. Could have easily spent a lot more money. I saw a chick maning the pickles.... Would have been cool if I could have worn some NJGF swag!

My Review of Dark Angel: Took the class in VA last week. ( was also my first time carry concealed). Interesting experience. DA is a owned and run by one guy named Kerry and his wife. They hold tactical medical classes through out the US and offer IFAK kits and training. He recently hired additional instructors. The guy teaching this class was named Johnson. Very experienced (swat / military / police trainer) and currently EMT capacity in Boston. This is a two day class at 16 hrs. Both are full days of instruction. Class setting was in a hotel conference room. About 30 people took this class. Mixed group of folks. In VA so a bunch of DoD. A few couples, dad and sons and the rest mainly gun enthusiast and competative shooters. This is not at the range pulling people behind cover with your gun drawn type of class. Day one was mostly PowerPoint presentation on mindset, safety, situational awareness and basic anatomy (ABC with hemorrhage and AVPU). Lots of pictures and videos with discussion. Then with systemic and emergency injuries and Gun shot wounds. Discussion is geared towards being first on sight or if you are the injuried party however we also discussed children and dog being injured too. Finish the day with amputations, blast injuries, and sucking chest wounds, facial injuries, eviscerations and shock. Day two starts were you left off in day one with more talk on injuries burns bites frostbite triage and victim movement. Then we quickly got into the kit. Which if you buy with the training they have it there for you on day one. The kit is really good. Well set up. The rest of the day is hands on learning how to use everything in your kit. They have practice kits so you don't have to break open yours. Gloves bandages hemostatic agents tourniquets occlusive devise nasal airway etc. basically group and partner up and practice under time and stress applying these to yourself and your partner. Swag: beside the IFAK: sticker, patch, booklet Overall thoughts: there is a bit of sticker (price) shock when you see the price with the IFAK included. Since I have first aid, cpr, and blood borne training I thought the reviews on the injuries were a bit much. But again there nothing wrong with review and I did learn new things on those topics. You'll walk away from the class knowing your have the practice these skills just like shooting. The hands on training was invaluable. For me with the kit and the hands on training the class was worth it. Considering it may save a life one day.

Hmmm - disappointed. I was expecting a punch line.. A rabbi, a mayor and an attorney walk into a bar ....

I'm training with them this weekend in VA. I'll provide a bit of a review here.

Interested. Burlington Co.

Is it possible to erase this entire thread??

Worked in the Wilkes barre area for two plus years. Like post before. The west side of of the river is nicer, like forty fort. Dopes in downtown Wilkes barre too. But there are two colleges there so a few places to eat and hang out. Best bet is some place between Scranton and WB. Good luck!

I'm now stupider

Mge. Dwamp and I split last night. Reach out to dwamp. He put the order in. Maybe there is time to add to it!

Guess I can put the shovel sharpener away ... Geez

Dwamp. I'm in Burlington. Want to split?

completely agree - pointing out how the law is just so poorly written.

Where does it say it's legal to transport a pistol to ups or fedex location? I don't recall them being one of the transportation exemptions.

Is there a date or location for this yet? Thx!

Great gun and great price.

Eric - life is good at 2x a month!

That looks like a lot of fun - awesome pics!

Lol Exactly!!

http://www.darkangelmedical.com/Home.html I checked out everyone's suggestions - thanks I just signed up for the Dark Angel class in VA in March. It's a two day coarse and comes with an IFAK. I already built my own so anyone has the option to decline and reduce the price. I noticed in this coarse you don't need to be EMT or have previous professional traning. I've seen a lot that do. I'm already CPR so I guess that a decent start but I know little about hemorrhage control other than youtube. This class looks to be geared towards shooting incidents and first responder in a shoot incident. I hope it's worth it. I'll do a review on it afterwards...

Why a portable safe? It's the same as just leaving it around except you can't get to it quickly. You know your firearm doesn't need to be locked 100% of time when you are home, right?

If you want to meet my friends all you need to know is my dogs love a juice steak and my alarm code is 12345. AK and HK

GSV is excellent ... Would recommend

Go to the CZ webpage store. They have a ton of mags for sale at different capacity. At standard, 15 and 10. Between modifying yourself or buying compliant - sometimes it's just easier to buy it already set at 15.
