    Rules of Engagement

    Rifle Course?

    Actually, I have one space open for the Randy Cain course. It won't be as round intensive as a Tactical Response Fighting Rifle but I suspect it would provide a worthy test.

    Training Documentation......

    Fwiw, I use powerpoints for virtually all of my lecture material and provide notes pages with a miniature copy of the slide and room to add personal notes. This gives students a copy of whatever visual graphic and key points were used and makes it fairly easy for them. Coupled with the syllabus...

    I don't understand the point of press-checks.

    I check the condition of every firearm I handle if it's been out of my immediate control. Other than that, I see no reason to press check. As far as loaded chamber indicators go, I'd never rely on one. Like anything mechanical, they can be faulty and should only be used as confirmation to a...

    Downsides to training?

    I'll give it a try. Teh Supreme Court has ruled that police departments can be liable if they have failed to provide adequate training. If they provide no training, they can be held criminally negligent. There is little or no reason to belive that private citizens can't or won't be held to the...

    Bacchus, Since I'm the instructor on this, I might be biased but I suspect it will be outstanding. For a more accurate evaluation, you might have to wait for it to occur in about one month.

    Review of Tactical Response Tactical Shotgun

    Thought I’d post a review of the Tactical Response tactical shotgun course I hosted this past weekend. Tase Sturgill and Noah Medcalf were the instructors and I’d like to thank them for coming. Both know their way around a shotgun and their competency and enthusiasm showed. Neither was dogmatic...
