Experiences of False Information During CCW Training

[lazarus]

aw

The power point said all NFA items need to be registered annually with the MSP. Not just mg’s. It specifically included suppressors.
I corrected him and he blew it off as a typo. No CC

Man, if I got blown every time I made a typo like that I'd...well...it would look a lot like the marriage I have.

Now if I just got blown every time I made a typo, I could quit my day job and start my porn career for sure and certain!

Nobody should be interpreting law unless they are an attorney. The instructors should be going over the written law and making courses aware of the law.

I foresee the requirements of having a lawyer do the law portion being suggested by the powers that be.

If someone had a class where they were teaching things that are false they should name it so that others can avoid it as well. Its not helping anyone to keep them anonymous.

This right here, and if they are an IP here then they should know better. Let them come on and explain themselves or call BS by the OP.

I’ve been given more bad info than good info by most FFL’s. The biggest mistake they tend to make is assuming I don’t know jack when I walk in there. Once in a while I’ll actually learn something (Duffy’s has folks that know their sh*t).

I’ve come very close to the classic Ron Swanson “I know more than you” line on a few occasions.

I imagine this is no different with ccw classes. My buddy took the class and treats what he learned as gospel and I know for a fact some of the stuff he learned is total BS.

That’s why I’m in no hurry to get a permit.
I don’t know, understand or care about all the particular nuances.
Whose right wrong etc, I have other shit to worry about instead of jerking myself off every 15 minutes because I can carry a handgun these days.
If I’m that hard up I’ll carry a rifle or just stay away from some place where I’m likely to get mugged robbed attacked etc.

Or just carry and eat the misdemeanor if caught.

It's a prohibiting misdemeanor. Permanent loss of gun rights.

Or just not carry at all period until I want to, or allow myself to worry about it.

Three Year Misdemeanor , which will make you a Federal Prohibited Person .

I thought it was mandatory? I hate keeping bringing Terry up all the time, but he's my only experience with these classes.
He had an attorney do his legal portion.

 

[platoonDaddy]

That was my guess. I’ll admit it, I was wrong.

Mandatory for NRA personal protection courses, for Md courses it’s just required to “cover” it.

I heard nothing wrong in two days with John Merson, who teaches through Cindy's in Glen Burnie.

While he presented topics I didn't need, 99% of what was said was accurate. Close enough. I didn't need the section on the differences among revolvers, DA/SA, and striker-fired or the short bit about holsters, but the presentations were well done.

I would have liked less on the basics and more on the mechanics and law of carrying. But I will be seeking future training.

We did get a professional presentation on the need to immediately sign up for USCCA insurance. I could have gotten a free ammo can! And a hat! (OK, but when I get a permit.)

It was nice to get the fingerprints done at the class.

The shooting at Cindy's was handled OK for a large group. You signed up for slots, Thursday night or Friday morning.

This has become my new favorite guessing game!

me too !

 

[dannyp]

It'd be worth a shot to name that trainer if anyone knows.

HA HA !

He was my instructor. Good guy. Had no complaints at all.

Thanks for this thread. I've corrected a few folks who got serious misinformation.

Here's one of the worst.. "If you pull out your firearm, you better use it". (wrong on so many levels!)

Although serving in the military "could be" great experience they don't teach Maryland or civilian self-defense law. (at least not while I was in).

Don't draw your pistol unless you have to use it. It's not a negotiation tool.
