Last night they showed The Best of American Shooter rerun, always worth watching. Until last night.
Supposedly in Tennesee, they showed a huge class for CCW, and the safety violations I witnessed just on the show made me cringe! I was a range Saftey Officer for an indoor range for a year and a half, an outdoor range for six months, and Rangemaster for a large armored trucking firm for 2.5 years.
First, the "instructor" has them outside in a line, weapons holstered, practicing the outdate Speed Rock - with him in FRONT!
Next, he shows a young lady how to get a correct sight picture, BY HAVING HER POINT HER BERRETTA TOMCAT AT HIS HAT, STILL ON HIS HEAD! HER FINGER IS CLEARLY ON THE TRIGGER, AND THE SLIDE IS FORWARD!
Two ladies in the class are encouraged to show off with new feminine holsters, such as purses and fanny packs, and after the obviously extensive and exhaustive safety briefings in this "class" wave slide forward and closed cylinder handguns in all directions, including the camerman, and at each other. Maybe I am a safety nut, but I was narrowly missed by a ND with a 357 mag years ago, and DON'T LIKE IDIOTS WAVING GUNS AROUND, OR TEACHING OTHERS TO DO SO!
And, besides, who teaches "speed rock", anyway? He had them shooting what looked like 7 yards with that! Gah!
Did anyone else see this?
