.. The ability of the instructor to diagnose a clients problems and correct them.
A fantastic question is raised. Do civilians really need to run around in full kit with their carbine? Is that a viable way to train? I do, but at the end of the day it isn't because I, "need to protect my family" rather, it is because I enjoy it. It is my money, I'll spend it how I see fit.
A couple of months ago I had to ask myself the question, "Why do I train? (with a carbine)" In the end it was really because it is fun. If I really wanted to protect my family I'd be taking defensive driving courses, not shooting courses.

I was of the opinion that carbine or rifle was not really necessary for self defense. Then a few years ago we had a couple of thugs locally driving around and shoot at cops with AK-47's for a day. I went and got the kids from school and brought them home and then had time to think. The pistol on my hip was not a suitable match for a couple idiots with rifles. So it is rare that a rifle is needed, but it can and does happen. So I don't think it is a waste, but you are also right that it should be down the list some.
Who does everyone thing Kyle is talking about in the video? A trainer? Someone who barely got out alive from a self defense situation?
