And, in my view, it should never happen. I much prefer the Supreme Court striking down the State laws the infringe the 2nd Amendment to giving the Federal government any more regulation power in this area. I don't know how yet but trust that the gun grabbers will turn something positive into a ...

Interesting development. I think the use of photorealistic targets are an important part of firearms training in general.


Agreed. Instead of only focusing on hitting a big piece of paper, you have to discriminate between what to hit and what to not hit.
While it isn't a very realistic ...

I just got a chance to look at the updated curriculum. You are correct; it's all B-27's now, and no Photo-Realistic Targets.

From a 'standardization' point of view as a course developer, it makes sense that everyone taking the SSC would be using the same targets (whereas the previous version ...

Already being discussed in this thread:

Is there a good book, hopefully of a "Reader's Digest" or "For Dummies" or best combining both that covers the basics of what a license holder needs to know on most things CHL?


The LTC-16 that RoyGBiv linked above has all of the relevant Penal & Civil codes in it, but its basically a 'copy ...

Agreed :iagree:

I see TPC 9.22 "Necessity" as a weak place to put your Self Defense argument. I see it more as a catch-all for outlier scenarios, not self defense.

The way I explain 9.22 to students is
"Its unlawful for me to drive my truck on the sidewalk. If a child darts into the street & I ...

If that's how the legislation was drafted, then its the Legislature that is merely posturing & didn't intend for it to get passed. Just political circus as usual.

Update: Just received 3x emails with all my updated certificates.

Praying for you, your family, & your care team. Lean in on God during this season; He has a plan, & He has your back.

Not sure if you're on social media much, but there are online support groups that my wife tapped into when dealing with ocular melanoma. Here's one that I remember: https://www ...

Thanks for posting this, 'cause I'm in the same boat & was wondering if it was just mine.

I'll re-word your question slightly & throw it back to the group as a poll:

How many LTC Instructors have:

1. Submitted all their stuff, took the online test, AND received their updated Instructor ...

The only change I've made recently is moving the small trauma aid bag from my truck to the wife's vehicle, since we're mostly using her's lately. I just have to move it back to the truck when loading out for range sessions.

On the "To-Do List" is refresh the contents of one of my spare bags so ...

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother, and to hear about the strained relationship ya'll had. Families can be 'messy' sometimes.

I lost my dad in 2001, & we hadn't spoken for about 10 years (he was 49; I was 30). I had just resolved to begin the healing process, but hadn't reached out to him just ...

Thanks for that. It pretty much confirmed what I already believed. I guess the only unresolved question now is, if they can't stop you from keeping a weapon in your private vehicle can they still fire you for doing so, because you are breaking their corporate rule.


If they want to fire you ...

There is no rule mandating Singe Action / Double Action for the LTC Course of Fire. Not for revolvers nor for semi-autos.

That said, I have my students use whatever mode their gun is likely to be used in if used defensively as its carried in the holster. This will be Double Action for revolvers ...

Silly question:

Is this only going to remove the $200 tax?

Or, Will this remove suppressors & SBRs from the NFA?
