Place a small piece of frosted tape over the middle of your left lens.

Wait until dark-thirty, new can of wasp and hornet killer. flashlight in one hand, and spray entrance hole non-stop. Has worked every time for me.

Your immediate actions seem correct from your accounting.  Possibly being a little better witness with details may be helpful in this circumstance.  That of course means sticking around if needed.  Let's play 'what if'  an employee had been stabbed...etc.  The information you provided may be crucial in follow-up arrests.

But it could be a problem in a Civil Case. Additionally, the predictable gun shot residue from factory ammo is documented and predictable. Possibly a factor that may save your butt and support your defense. Just because it has never happened, doesn't mean it can't.

Ran across this very informative thread on another forum.  Answers the age old question of 'what is best' in the world of lubes with a seemingly factual, well-done, objective testing of some of the most common products on the market.    http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=546316    

Go to the Tactical Advantage Corp. website.  Located in Knoxville.  Check out the schedule for classes.

Met a great bunch of fellow shooters today. Randy is an excellent instructor who can provide you with the info you need for practical pistol fighting in the most common of encounters one could be involved in. Thanks to Randy and all that provided the opportunity for this class,

Yep, Im still waiting for $10/9mm and $15/45ACP

It is training, and therefore valuable....to a degree.  I liken it to 'feathers in your cap".  The more feathers the better.  It is through your experience and additional training that it becomes more significant.  On the other hand, at least the NRA is one of those recognized 'good-housekeeping seals', and therefore can be beneficial.

Yes, as CHL said, 22s are fine and I much prefer new shooters and especially women with little or no experience use them. My objective is to have shooters successfully complete the class. Hopefully they will continue shooting and eventually chose a weapon they will be satisfied as well as proficient with.

This is something, as a S&W armorer, that I have done a half dozen times with ease. I would expect a gunsmith to be able to so it with one hand tied behind his back.

CM9 is OK....but pretty tough trigger.  Don't think I would be shooting +P+ even as a defensive load in a small pistol.  Waste of time, larger muzzle flash and slow 2nd shot.  More wear and tear on the small frame.  My guess is there is little difference in MV  and certainly even less downrange difference given the short barrel.

Apex has excellent install videos of all of their products.  That won't help you on the sights though.

B-29 target The target specified is the B-29 target, a reduced size version of the B-27 silhouette target. Only hits within the silhouette are counted. Each hit within, or cutting, the seven ring counts as two points, hits within the silhouette count as one point. Any hits outside the silhouette are counted as zero. Since the B-29 is less than half the size of the B-27, this is a more challenging course of fire than most State courses. Total of 20 rounds fired at 3yds, 20 at 5yds, and 10 at 7yds. Passing score 70 or better.

Stuck in traffic........one can still get out of the car. Is it the 'manly' thing to do, so what? Sheet metal damage vs. court defense expense? Not hard to figure out. Remember the qualifiers for justification of deadly force..Proximity and ability. Duty of retreat, NO. But ego and common sense aswell as consequences/aftermath are realities. As mentioned, every situation is different but it is good to give some thought and discussion to different circumstances.

Willie that is not a bad thing...unless you are repeatedly drawing and re-holstering. As far as EDC, hopefully I am not drawing my gun....and if I do fast re-holstering is not needed.

That said, I agree that if you can get away then you should.  However, thinking of how the often bumper to bumper traffic in Gatlinburg may mean a driver can't go anywhere or can only move at a snail's pace, I can see where fleeing would not be possible.... [/quote] Yeah, can really really be tough to outrun those wheelchairs .)

When armed, egos must be kept in check. Not even a verbal conflict is simple anymore if you tote a gun to it. Walk away, drive away, etc. Greg may win the battle but will lose the war if he shot in this situation...IMO, not to mention the possible mental fall-out afterwards.

First a disclosure; I teach the HCP course at Tactical Advantage.  Range and classroom in one location.  I think all of our instructors try to make sure all shooters are welcomed and comfortable with a special effort geared towards new shooters.  We also have women only courses.  I am sure you will have a pleasant experience regardless of which class you choose.   tacticaladvantagecorp.com

Not for every situation but I am very happy with Versa Carry.

Nov. 2012.  I've flown a dozen or so times with firearms.  Never been anything marked on the bags, but let me assure you that the airlines know who has firearms and the bags associated with you.  I have had a couple of situations where I couldn't electronically get my boarding passes because of my history of flying with firearms.

Count me in and bringing two others.
