      Basic Fighting Handgun Class, Connersville, IN June 2, 3, & 7th

      GIJEW, I haven't posted enough to PM you so I am trying this to make sure you see it. Please let me know if you have received this message or if you were contacted by Jackie at CPD.

      Basic Fighting Handgun Class, Connersville, IN June 2, 3, & 7th

      DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ATTENDING, THE CLASSROOM PORTION HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE NEW FOP LODGE LOCATED AT 600 W 3RD STREET, CONNERSVILLE, IN. THIS IS THE TWO STORY BUILDING OFF OF SR 44 BEHIND FRAZEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ALSO, DUE TO A SCHEDULING CONFLICT WE HAD TO MOVE THE MONDAY NIGHT CLASS...

      GIJEW, you may want to give the police department a call to make sure they can get you in that class. I got word that one of the nights is already full and the other night is really close to being full. I would check before I made plans with my employer.

      Gungirl65, the location for the classroom portion is in the Police Station building (F.O.P. Classroom is what will be used and is in the same building) and the range is a bit hard to find, directions will be provided to students in the classroom portion (we may even caravan over to the range)...

      I have heard the local Ninja society secretly sponsors the show.

      VERT, you never know, I'm the kind of guy that would find someone to wear a ninja suit and sneak into the back of the class and just sit there until someone noticed. We'll see how situationally aware everyone really is...

      Whew, someone else gets it! I thought I was the only one who understood Ninjas. You guys are my kind of people!

      Thanks Rhino. Doug was a great guy and his loss is still felt. DPG was really on the verge of some industry changing training, but sadly that all fell apart when he passed. He built a great company and helped a lot of people. It was sad to see it fall apart so quickly. Well, training is a...

      Good, you can be assured I have REAL Ninja's at all my classes. We leave out doughnuts on breaks and they are always gone when we get back. So we know they are there. Jackson, it sounds like you are just the type I want in my classes. Josh

      I may have mis-spoke. They are there, you just can't see them. :)

      One more thought on this (and I'll stop ranting, I promise). I have seen way too many guys who are training junkies (I can say that cause "I are one") who go through various pistol courses, move on to carbine courses, run out of advanced courses to take, then think that protective security...

      Pat is spot on. Unless you are one of those sick people that likes reading text books and taking 100 question timed tests. It's not near as glamorous as it sounds. I spent three days learning about radios that I already knew more than the instructor did (I am an IT guy) just to get a piece of...

      FBI Video of 1986 Miami Shootout

      Not that I am aware. It is copyrighted. I had heard rumors of the existence and references to it but didn't get a copy until I attended the Instructor Development course. I can shoot Tom an e-mail and ask if it's available to the masses and see what he says. I am guessing he will not want it...

      FBI Video of 1986 Miami Shootout

      I agree! Tactics were based on unrealistic training during that era. I personally believe it was the type of training the agents had been through that contributed to the failures. It seems like they made tactical decisions based on their previous SOP's and training, but the training purpose...

      FBI Video of 1986 Miami Shootout

      Tom Givens has an excellent detailed analysis of this that is covered in his Instructor Development course. Combined with the video it is a really good example for students. Many people have a TV view of what a gunfight looks like. This helps squash some of those fantasies.
