Training forum?

[James Yeager]

How about a training forum? I will help if needed. I would REALLY love to see this forum succeed!

[TGO David]

I'll definitely add that to the lineup. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ok... let me ask a fundamental question about a Training forum: Is this a forum that would differ in some way from the Concealed Carry and Self Defense forum that we already have?

My first thought is that sure it would. But then I consider that Self Defense really should start with good training and I wonder if the forums wouldn't be redundant or at the very least overlap quite a bit.

Thoughts?

A training forum would be beneficial. It will fill up quickly with up-coming classes, and serve as a rally point for training groups to form.

Sometimes training goes beyod the realm of self defense.

I understand. Would an "Events" forum be perhaps more universally beneficial? Not only notices about training but also notices about things like gun shows and such?

I don't want to dilute the effectiveness of any forum so if that idea seems a bit over simplistic, please do not hesitate to say so.

Also I would like to mention that anyone can add events to our Calendar. Once an event is added, a moderator will approve the event and it will then be listed publicly.

I think a training forum would be good too.

If you don't feel comfortable adding a new forum right now we can just lump training topics in with the self defense stuff.

[Cannon Fodder]

I don't think it would be redundant. Some of the topics could have dual purposes such as quick site acquisition and things like that. But topics like say zeroing a rifle or reloading topics don't really fit into the self defense forum.

There is PLENTY of training that happens that isn't CCW and is offensive and not defensive.

[Guest Shane]

A training section is certainly needed; CCW seems more like a legal hoop you have to jump through than training.

A Training Forum has been added to our lineup. Enjoy it!
