I don't understand... are you saying we are crying on the internet because the community (not just us, gun owners and trainers in general) are calling out a so called expert trainer out on his unsafe BS?

You have MIL/LEO guys out there all saying this is a stupid stupid stupid thing to do, even with trained professionals.

By NOT calling out such BS... such training would keep on happening.  To a greater degree, the community needs to police itself from the more creative morons out there putting lives in unnecessary risk... and this is precisely what it is. 

As far as this biting gun owners?  It will in any case...

 

1. IF the gun community did not come out against this BS... "Gun owners had proof of unsafe training and did nothing to police their own, they put lives at risk and did not condemn this."

2. This video will likely be star testimony at the next lawsuit dealing with training anyway.

Wasn't talking about the training stuff in that sentence, was talking about the fact that no one can carry a gun in this state so training like this is pointless. They should be throwing ninja stars or rocks or something, maybe just taze each other. 

Shamelessly stolen from someone else, but it is a pretty good representation of the process you should go through to vet an instructor for your specific and individual training goals.

I don't think it really matters though right?

Over the years we have MANY people who either moved away or visit places regularly where they can carry.  Beyond that, you carry on your own property right?

In any case though, training is training and for most people who are not going to be shooting gun games, taking some training classes is the most they will ever do.

As far as legality... if the state becomes bankrupt and we have looting or another hurricane sandy comes through, is it honestly going to stop people?  At a certain point good guys will stop giving a crap about the laws and will start doing what they need to in order to defend themselves.

So training is a must!  I just wish every forum member and gun owner in the state did so.
