I can't wait to learn how to make this 870 sing. Looking forward to the shoulder-bruise-resembling-a-blueberry-patch. It wouldn't be the first time going home with validation marks from training.

Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to this class and meeting some individuals from your area. If anyone is on the fence, this is a golden opportunity with Randy especially considering price and a small class size.

I'm in. PM inbound.

Man and I thought I was the rectal magnet. You surpass me Sir and that's an impressive feat.

When SI claims this is one of their "premier" courses they aren't kidding. This was hands down the best tactical class I have taken thus far and will likely remain so. To a degree, all classes are what you put into them and I gave this one 110% and came home with a fair share of bruises (summertime class and I refused to put on extra layers during Airsoft shooting) My wife asked me was I just a slow learner or just slow in general. This class is where the rubber meets the road and to say Randy is an excellent instructor in this area is an understatement. I feel sorry for whoever has a brain fart and decides to jump him at breathing distance one day.    I would suggest not getting the double cheeseburger at lunch before the wrestling session. Just my two cents. 

The training was done by GandLacademy.com and this individual was the instructor.    http://gandlacademy.com/instructors/rob-corcoran/   My card reads "This certifies that ......has completed training for exp. batons".    It was not specific to Monadnock but he carried one. 

Hey Randy. It was a good class. It taught you how to handle the baton and was more in defensive nature than I thought to be honest. Strikes were covered. What I have an issue with is how police are using this weapon for compliance vs pulling their gun out and I think that is different for a civilian (maybe armed, maybe not) down on Market Street in Chattanooga that gets approached on the street by urban dwellers with bad intentions in mind. Simple compliance would not be my goal in mind at that point. I guess we can all hash that out in court in the future if it comes to it.    I appreciate the OP setting this class up and I was impressed with G and L's instructor for the baton class. 

I will pass it on that I have seen work done by Tactical Firearms Solutions out of Cleveland, TN and their work is outstanding. I hear they are soon to open a store in the shopping center where Sportsman's is located. I don't want to break any TOS by quoting the contact information on a non-paying vendor. They have a page on FB with contact information and he has a FFL. 

    I came here to get a better house but I neglected to consider the GA income taxes. Bonehead move. Its about time to look for some acres in Tennessee.

  Hey dawgdoc. I don't blame you for the quick getaway. The only crazier people about a college team would be our Blue neighbors to the north.   I bleed Georgia Southern blue. People just get a funny look on their face or tell me they went a semester to GSU and had to come home.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Now I gotta work on getting a sig and image. And joining the Benefactor status.

Hey guys. My mailing address is in Walker County but my employment and all my free time is spent in Tennessee so I hope this is well received. I work at Erlanger in the OR and my wife is medical too. I grew up in middle Georgia but moved around with jobs and education and am probably gonna stay here. I've lived here since 2004. I've grown up around guns my whole life and have been training with Suarez for the last couple years. I've been fortunate enough to learn from Randy in regards to getting off the X and getting tossed around by him in a 0-5 class. I started off with a Ruger .357 Police Service Six as my first handgun, moved to Glocks, am invested heavily in the 7.62x39 with AK rifles / pistols, then obtained some (cough cough) 7.62x54 guns, then just got into the AR based pistols. That about covers my calibers. I love the outdoors and spending time with my family (wife and two labradoodles). I CC when I can and have other items when I can't...its hard to conceal in scrubs and you can imagine that doesn't go over well in the employment arena. I am a member of CRC range.   I joined because I know two posters and they recommended the site. It looks to be a great forum and I like how most of the information on here is pertinent to my location. I hope to be an active contributor and continue learning. Thanks guys. 

Both of the other two guys have confirmed payment. 

Add me to the list and +2 others. Paid and done for total of 3 on my end. The wife is one of the three. The additional two other guys were texted payment options.    Thanks for setting this up and I'm looking forward to this class.    Well done Sir.
