    I realized how easily I had fouled draws this winter. Extra clothes to push around while trying to present was quite the eye opener. This was all from staying stationary. I practice a lot more with my blue gun now.

    Another big foul was drawing a mag for a reload and having my un-tucked shirt tail in my hand as well. Forced myself to continue the reload and then almost laughed at how silly I was.

    This is one of the things that we work on during the class. You also need to have an option if the threat is too close to even perform immediate action drill and go hands on instead. It is about he fight, not the gun.

    Since the last time I have been to Indy I have made a large part of my living bouncing, most notably the Ottobar in Baltimore, known as the city's premier rock and roll venue, with concerts seven nights a week. I started there when two private students who were also bouncing there had me to the bar to work with all the bouncers, which led to be coming on board. Putting hands on that many people allowed me to hone my skills, especially in the area of balance manipulation, and this has been added to the Spontaneous Attack Survival curriculum (morning of day 1 7X7). We will also be spending more time on weapon retention in and out of the holster. Looking very forward to my return.- George

    BTW still room in the class

    I emailed Lisa as well, and didn't get a response. I sent an email to mercop with my phone number. Here's hoping it went through and someone contacts me.

    You'll want to stay in one of half a dozen places on the north end of Crawfordsville. They have a Holiday Inn Express, Ramada, Quality Inn, Comfort Inn, Hampton Suites and several others.

    When I used to do some consulting at Nucor, I'd stay at the Comfort Inn. I was such a frequent flyer, they always set me up with the room with a jacuzzi (201 I think)

    Looking there again to see what's what. Care to narrow down the list? I am just spending the night so I guess maybe closer is better.

    I don't need a room with a jacuzzi, probably be too much temptation not to go to the second day of class.

    I think most of those listed are on the north side of Crawfordsville. Linden isn't to terribly far up 231

    • The chain hotels are all clustered together at the I-74 exit onto US-231 just north of town, so they're all the same distance from Linden.


    • There are couple of unpleasant motels in town, but I would not go there if I had a choice.


    • I don't know about relative prices.


    • I've been in the Holiday Inn Express and it's nice. I've been in the Ramada and it's acceptable. There others? I don't know.

    How would you rate Casa del Rinoceronte?

    (with apologies to native Spanish speakers...)


    La casa de los rinocerontes es esencialmente seguro. Sin embargo, el ambiente interior es inhóspito y poco probable para sostener la vida humana por mucho tiempo. La combinación de la acumulación y la pereza extrema produce resultados que son incomprensibles para el hombre común. Mi consejo es mantener la distancia y buscar refugio en otro lugar!
