Good News for DC residence ???

I assumed as much. I'd appreciate if they were al little more honest about their web site. I am somewhat curious about the intentional hiding of the web domain registration. seems a bit of a curiosity.

As you note, we have IP's here who offer the same training. They are as "official" as DCconcealedcarry is. I did notice it on their bus too.

I signed up for an upcoming DC Law class with them. Too close to the office to pass. Will let everyone know how it goes...

The bus says retired MPD does that mean he is retired MPD or that he provides LEOSA training for retired MPD?

Look down and on the right side of the page. Apparently he offers LEOSA certs for MPDC retirees only.

It looks to me like he enjoys playing games with words and stuff. Kinda Secret Squirrel. Feels hinkey to me. I'd go with one of our IPs if it was my time and money.

Yeah, his advertising is cheesy and ambiguous - but he's (as far as I can tell) helping residents legally arm themselves without breaking any laws so lets cut him a little slack.

When a new market demand occurs / seems likely to open up, it is a vacum waiting to be filled, new players will enter the game.

Mr Speers is a licensed Instructor, and presumbly his offerings will meet DC's legal requirements.

If he also does business for other things with presumaably anti-gun governments , I can certainly see him promoting his company per se , and not highlighting himself personally.

I see a large helping of Dvertising Hyperbole rather than secret squirel conspiracy. Not exactly how I would advertise a hypothetical business , but it is visually catchy and also serves to promote firearms and carry to segments of the general public not already dialed into the gun culture.

They didn't want anyone parking to close, didn't want anyone scratch that beautiful paint job.

No one I can see has said don't to business with the guy or that he is not legit. There were some red flags for some that required a little more scrutiny.

When it comes to spending my money, or recommending a vendor for firearms training, I don't cut anyone any slack. No one has an issue if this is above board, which it appears to be. But not knowing what you're buying before spending your money is foolish IMO.

Playing fast and loose with advertising claims is always suspect in my book.

Caveat Emptor always.

That's what I thought you've been implying throughout this thread, but I'll take your word for it if you say you're not.

swinokur · Jun 26, 2015

Implications aside, show me a single post from me that said don't do business with this company. But I can show you several threads where I endorsed a careful examination of the business before doing anything else.

Caveat Emptor doesn't mean don't do business with the company. It only endorses a careful scrutiny before giving a business your money.

Feel free to interpret any way you like.

swinokur · Jun 26, 2015

I agree with that.

yup, this is no accident. hiding this info is not the default. Someone wants to hide ownership.

why?

Hiding registration is the new normal. Why ? So you don't get spamed and so no one figures out you have a domain name they might poach or emulate.

Blocking ICMP. Is also not uncommon as it hides network info useful in an attack..given the area we are in I expect a lot of blocking ,

As for the rest of the speculation.. Sure it could be...

Cool bus anyway.
