No sense in taking his courses. People will appendix carry. He should be teaching them how to re-holster safely, not banning a legitimate way to carry.

I'm too fat to Appendix carry, but a bunch of my buddies love it.

I can't crap on Vickers for banning it though. All it'll take is the stupidity of ONE STUDENT and his career is over.

He's not like some other trainer that can shoot one of his assistants and continue to train people.

Heck my Dunlap gets in the way of that

Did you even read his notice?
He banned it in his class.
He also updated that original facebook post.

Thanks for the update DC-W.

Hey man, gotta keep it real with the LV.

I'll be clearer: I won't take any of his courses.

At least that one student won't have to worry about shaving their junk for a while, between the E.R. staff and the muzzle blast...

I can respect that, like he said you can't be on top of an entire class but when an accident occurs the liability will fall squarely in his shoulders. I see this restriction catching on in the industry....

Why? Because in the name of safety he doesn't want weekend commandos shooting themselves or other's during a class, so his instruction has now become irrelevant?

I have MANY co workers who carry this way but they train A LOT and are drilled and skilled in drawing, shooting and re-hosltering this way for their career.
Most gun class students, not so much.

His class...His rules..Personally i think appendix carry is silly for that exact reason. Anyone limiting themselves by not taking one of his classes for only this reason are just as silly in my eyes. ANY time you have a chance to train with a decorated veteran and Delta operator...you shut up and listen, because 999 people out of a thousand don't hold a candle to his knowledge base and teaching capabilities...because if you did...you'd probably have his job...

This crap has been all over the net for the last week. Couple of things to consider:

1. AFAIK, LAV doesn't do a dedicated conceal carry class a la Mike Pannone, Jeff Gonzales, etc. You take his classes to get better at shooting, not drawing and re-holstering.

2. Mike Pannone just instituted a similar policy. NO AIWB for his handgun classes, only his Covert Carry class, and he will vet you and your gear at the start of class.
3. Similar policy for Jeff Gonzales.
4. His class, his rules. Don't like it, take your training $ elsewhere. He'll still fill his classes without issue. Class coming up in York in October was already filled in January.

This just in.

Serpas are dangerous.

For the weekend shooting warriors. :thumbup:

That's it.. I'm holding a class using Mexican carry!


I agree.. His class.. His rules...

Hell I've even seen gun dropped while walking to the range.. That person was asked to pack his gear and can stay and watch if he chooses to.

I am in agreement with LV. Why take the chance of making the news because some fanboy's boner presses the trigger on his lightened trigger of his competition gun. There is also the liability and insurance aspect. If it were my business, I'd be just as cautious.

 

[Blaster229]

Let's have people drawing from shoulder holsters too. LOL

No jokes about negligent discharges with that anatomical diagram?

"Accident waiting to happen when you add in a pistol like a glock or M&P "
What exactly are you trying to say? What makes them more dangerous for appendix carry than other brands?
