Personal Protection Outside the Home

[JavaDan]

That's OK, Dan.

We all know we were given index fingers for pressing triggers, not computer keys.

I'm chiming in late, i know. I just wanted to give some impressions of the class. The classroom portion, I felt, was invaluable - especially the lawyer portion. I felt as though several key points about Maryland law were clarified and examined in great detail. The range portion of the training was somewhat disconcerting since some of the things we got to do are things I, at least, never get to practice. Drawing from a holster, from concealment, with movement, etc. These are things you usually don't get to do at a public range. To sum it up, anyone on the fence about taking this training should get off the fence and git'r'done. You'll be glad you did. I'm really hoping to take the advanced class when offered, too!

one enchancement i'd like to suggest - someone should organize an open-carry lunch outing if the class is taught in Pennsylvania. I say this because it was obvious that many of the class (myself foremost among them) don't know what it's like to be able to legally carry our guns anywhere. BGOS, right? I dunno if the instructors can do such a thing, but perhaps if the next batch of students come mostly from MDS, someone would be willing to take the reins and figure something out.

All the comments on the instruction in general, and on the legal portion in specific, are greatly appreciated. Any constructive criticism is welcome as well, and feel free to PM with any detailed suggestions. I'm always trying to improve.

Looks like great training!

Thanks to everyone that puts on and attends this kind of training. The more 'good guys' that carry the safer we all are.

Carry a gun (where legal), stay safe!

That's definitely one course I want to take at some point.

Problem is, now that I have the time, I need to work out the expense!!

With the recent MSP interview activity, I'm looking for a class like the one held 1-July. The previous topics are perfect: Concealed carry safety and defensive mindset; Self defense and concealed carry; Legal aspects of self defense and concealed carry; Carry modes and concealment; Presenting the pistol from concealment; Presentation, position and movement. Any plans to hold another in the coming months? Preferably sooner before it gets too cold. Thanks!

 

[3rdRcn]

I don't have any plans in the near future but if there is enough interest I could put something together.

Dan told me there were thoughts of putting together a more advanced class, to be held in another location. Any chance of this?

He has not discussed that with me so I'm not sure. He could be talking about the CMCT guys.

I'm in depending on the date

Have you taken personal protection in the home? You have to have taken it before you take outside the home.

That is not true, there is a qualification that can be done instead of having to take the PPITH class.

I stand corrected. I read the requirements again and it does allow for other like qualifications. I mixed the class requirements with the instructor class requirements.
Pardon me.

 

[navycraig]

I would absolutely be in for a PPOTH course and look forward to the opportunity to attend if offered.
I have had PPITH and am anxious for the next step.
