People who wish to be free will conduct themselves in a manner to maintain their freedom... and if they don't... they won't.
The Chip of Munks.
Full disclosure, our OP here is a friend of mine, but we haven't discussed this class.
I think a lot of experienced shooters go in to a W&C class and expect to learn something about wearing and carrying. Maybe some thoughts on holsters and concealment garments. If I went for a W&C and got a basic safety class I'd probably be pretty disappointed.

I’m suspect of friends of yours…

I understand that... and appreciate that... but said person may try being a little less condescending... just sayin'
So am I, they associate with me. That's suspicious as hell.
I won't speak for him. Many of our MDS personalities are unique people.

Throw bread on me
Didn't pick up on that. AA County and a bad female trainer means one place...

At no point was I trying to to be condisending. Not all of a person's intent can be clearly portrayed through words over the internets.

Day 1 of training through Cindy's. Due to the demand, 80+ relocated to a local fire/bingo hall.
The training is OK. The trainers know their stuff. But make no mistake, we're checking the boxes. With a mixed class, newbies to experienced shooters, I don't expect much more. After a brief explanation, I now understand the difference between a revolver and a striker fired pistol.
Tomorrow we go shoot at Cindy's. The basic course of fire. And I have my fingerprints.
I was challenged to think about the differences between target shooting and defensive shooting. I will likely seek additional training.
But, clearly, as always, it should be my choice. We don't need training to exercise a right.

I agree 100 percent.
I've been saying this for years. People need to stop worrying about nice dime groups. Start thinking about point shooting ,back plating, and all things defensive. Shooting off hand.

I agree, AND yet, if one carries and wants to improve upon the many aspects of defense, good vs bad shoots, laws, safe practices, then by all means get additional training to become a better and safer shooter.

Blaster, I saw this good video illustrating your point that I posted elsewhere.
Let me retrieve it and add it here.

You must not have seen the Isosceles Stance of Death.
Ha, I said pretty much the same thing and was told that I wouldn't be welcome at one particular trainer here's classroom. Good times, lol.
On a side note, I saw on FB today that a local (to me) instructor had 120 students in a class today. Now I know what he charges and would be a little beyond pissed if I rolled up and it was a recreation of a typical U of MD college class.
JFC! So, when the instructor rolls video and asks the class, "Shoot, or No Shoot?" do they use the applause meter to get an answer?
