I'd say if they want the age raised to 21 then lets also get the voting age raised to 21. After all the overwhelming majority of 18-20 year olds vote for the Dems anyway......that's what compromise is.....both sides get something and both sides lose something..... are they willing to trade 18-20 year old voters to get these "guns off the streets" ????

I watched a good bit of it but it becomes rather tedious when the answer to EVERY question ends up being "assault weapon ban" to the thunderous cheers of ill informed traumatized people (and most likely a peppering of professional protesters/agitators ) . In fact I think the Broward County Sheriff ended every statement he made with "we need an assault weapon ban". Keep in mind this is the same network and same sheriff's office that along with CNN put on an EGREGIOUSLY DISINGENUOUS hit piece report on "assault weapons" back in 2004 in support of not letting the ban expire where they brought out a FULL AUTO AK and shot cinder blocks with it arguing that those guns didn't need to be "back on the streets". They KNOWINGLY flat out LIED to the entire country about what the 1994-2004 ban even effected....so do we think this thing last night would be anything other than a thinly veiled anti gun pep rally?

Fight At Night : Defensive Concepts for Dark Environments Date: Saturday March 10 Time: 4PM - 11PM Location: The Ridge Dayton TN. (http://www.theridgeshooting.com/) Price $180 cash or check. ($90 Deposit to hold spot / balance due night of class). Instructor: Randy Harris This rarely offered class will cover some critical skills which include shooting with and without the help of flashlights in low or no light. We will work both proactively challenging unknown potential threats and also reacting to unexpected close range attacks in low light settings. You will see just how much light you really need to accurately shoot by and how much light you actually need to ID targets. We will also cover manipulating the pistol in the dark both with and without a light in our hands. We will load , unload and clear malfunctions with and without flashlights. A fair amount of time will also be devoted to using the flashlight as a tool to help you get deselected in the "pre fight interview" , use the light as a distraction device and impact weapon, and as a bridge from less lethal to lethal force. Range Gear and requirements : Handheld flashlight (Surefire 6P, G2, Streamlight Scorpion or similar). Extra batteries. Pistol and holster designed to be worn on the belt. Two spare mags (3 total minimum) and a mag pouch. Range Safety gear (eye and ear protection) . Clothing appropriate for weather. Snacks and drinks. Ammo: Approximately 250 rounds. If you have a weapon mounted light for your pistol and want to use it for some drills then please bring it too. If your carry pistol has a light that is fine too just make sure it fits your holster. If you have a "blue gun" or airsoft gun and training knife or inert "trainer" pepper spray you want to bring feel free to do so. We will be doing some interactive exercises where students will play the role of both good guys and bad guys to get a better feel for just what each experiences when the techniques are applied in low light. If you don't see it from both sides you only know about half of what is going on. A $90 deposit will hold a spot for you in this class. Balance due at class. You are also welcome to pay in full in advance too. We are limiting it to 16 students so you might want to get your deposit in soon. To register or for more info either PM me here at TGO or email me at Cruelhandluke2000@yahoo.com. Hope to see you there! Some Bio info and some of my training resume.....http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/instructor-randy-harris.aspx

Plan to bring lunch, snacks, and water (min 1 gallon per person) for the entire day unless driving to lunch is a viable option from the range location. Bring allergy medication (if needed), a chair (if you prefer), note taking supplies, and a boo boo kit (band aids, gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and tape). You may wish to bring pads such as knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves if the class lends itself to that.

The Official Range Photo Thread (Prove That You Shoot)
Cruel Hand Luke replied to TGO David's topic in Training Discussions
Thanks Prag ! I was out on the range with the guys that came to our regional training day. I had them run the Rastoff Challenge and I shot it too after they did. That was my target . I took a pic and sent it to Prag to get him to post it since I wouldn’t be able to . I also shot the Rangemaster Handgun Core Skills Test with total time of 29.13 and 194 pts for a score of 133.19 (125+ is Master) and shot the Bill Wilson 5x5 drill with a overall time of 17.33 overall (Master is 20 seconds or less) . Since most of my range time is spent teaching classes or shooting IDPA matches I don’t often get the opportunity to shoot drills for score with someone else timing me so when the chance presented itself I took it today. -

TN / GA / AL Training Group On Saturday January 27 we will hold our 1st meeting for the TN/GA/AL Regional Suarez Int Training Group for 2018! (Everyone is welcome) Instructor: Tier 1 Suarez Int Staff Instructor Randy HarrisLocation: The usual place- Phillips/Edwards Farm 763 County Rd 332 Pisgah AL 35765 Time: 9AM CENTRAL time - 3PM CENTRAL timePrice: $60 - pay at class cash or check. What you need to bring: Pistol, pistol magazines and at least 150 rounds of ammo. Revolvers are welcome if you want to party like it is 1899. We will work on smoothing out our pistol skills and will shoot several new challenging drills that we have not done before and work to be more competent and confident with the weapon we carry most...our pistol. Some of the drills are the Tom Givens 3M, Massad Ayoob's MAG 40 Standards, Bill Wilson's 5x5 skills test and several more. The pistol is far more likely to be the weapon you will have in hand be it robbery, terrorism or whatever. This will give participants a chance to shoot some timed and scored drills and get a feel for where their skill level is and see where they can improve . Looking forward to seeing you there!
