Short story.. (not really)... years ago (15 or more?. at least 10) while on this forum discussing concealed carry someone made the statement that if you are going to carry a gun you not only need training but you should keep that training up.Train as much as you can afford. I'm not much of a follower but I took that advise to heart and have done so... last time I counted I had over 200 hours of formal training in mostly handguns. I sitting in the Delta Sky Club at the Atlanta airport because I have a 3 & 1/2 hour wait between flights. Head home from taking a two day defensive handgun class held out side of Tallahassee Florida that a good friend and I came up with. Mostly him. He wanted me to come down and he and myself and a few other folks do some shooting on his 'hunting' farm... and I requested that we have instructors. We paid two local LEO's who do training for various law enforcement agencies in the area. Most of my previous training has been standing on a line at various distances and shooting at a paper target... that's what we did on day one but day two was all about moving and shooting and working as a team... much different and very eye opening. We also had some competition with shooting metal reactive targets... here are two guys doing that.

It’s great that you’ve had so much training. I’ll admit I haven’t had much at all. None really, just two times for how to shoot skeet better. But no pistol training.

I was at the range today and there was a policeman there. They get to use our club for free for training.

Anyway, it got me to thinking, do you suppose there would be any interest in having an hour or two of “official training” at the East Coast gathering this fall?

Just an idea, but I wouldn’t mind chipping in for what it would cost.
 
I might could do it for 2-4 people but would have to do some more training of my own.

there is a specific discipline to calling the commands.

We could probably use one of Contender's side bays and the basics are just about safely drawing from a holster and taking aim and firing with reloading and possibly some malfunction drills. Dedicate maybe 4 hours to it?
