Hi everyone:
My name's John and live in Farmington, Utah with my wife of 40 years, Linda. I'm a certified NRA RSO and firearms instructor.
While I've taken over 320 hours of tactical and defensive training (pistol, rifle, force-on-force, close combat, etc., etc.) I still regard myself as a perpetuate student as I'm always eager to learn. I'm also a big advocate of retaking basic courses when I get a chance given it always comes down to learning, understanding, and mastering the fundamentals so everything becomes second nature and automatic.
Folks at my local range see me at least once a week usually with a selection of firearms of varying calibers as I never seem to be able to make up my mind up as to what I want to take so everything and the kitchen sink sometimes goes along with me.
I have my Utah Concealed Firearms Permit (as does my wife) as well as my Idaho Enhanced Concealed Weapons License. I conceal carry (OWB) just about all the time when and where it's legal to do so.
I'm looking forward in catching up with my reading of past posts on the forum as well as participating in future discussions.
