I think I need to sign up for one of these tactical classes just for the training and confidence factor. IF, forbid I ever come in contact with some crazed killer, that would at least help with the panic, adrenalin (sp?) and total chaos, that I could at least defend myself and my kids and perhaps others. That would be more than I would get shooting by myself at the range and well worth the money and time to me.
Most states require much more than mine does to get the permit, which wasn’t much, which is good for the right to carry but maybe not so much for the confidence factor in a crisis.
Thank you for your information.
My state requires 8 hours of BS.
The legal part, like don’t shoot a guy after he is down or running away, could be covered in 2 hours.
This is the NRA course, by the way.
But there is no discussion of the real world.
In your case, I doubt that you will ever be in the Tuscon type confrontation. It is possible, as I expect terrorists to use the same tactics, but it is much more probable that it will be a one on one thing in a dark shopping center parking lot.
Not discussed at all in my state.
For instance, you come out of a restaurant at 10:00 PM and are walking across a dark parking area to your car.
Two spooky looking dudes are between your and your car. They are walking towards you looking intently at you...doesn’t look good.
They are 50 ft. away and at the rate of closure, your pace and theirs, you are going to meet in only 25 ft. so you have only a second or two to make a decision.
What will you do?.
Think hard about it because this is by far the most likely scenario.
