I hope the class goes well. As luck would have it I have another obligation the weekend of the May 24th. Hopefully I can get in a class later in the year.

You can catch another one.

For what it is worth, I'll be offering the Suarez Int Shotgun Gunfighting class here in the Chattanooga area sometime in the next few months.

I'm just trying to work out the details on whether it will be a 2 days of shotgun or done as a 1 day add on to a pistol class. Anyone have any opinions on this?

Do it in late summer. Try 1 day shotgun and 1 day rifle.

Phantom6 has another shotgun class posted on his web site. It's in Oak Ridge. I emailed him about the date. He has it as Saturday July 23 but the 23rd is on Wednesday.

Yup sorry for the initial confusion. Apparantly when I looked at the calender I looked at it wrong and pulled the date out of my a$$. It has been corrected now. Anyone wishing to take the class can download the Application for training at the following URL:

I promise you it will be a rock 'n roll shotgun class. 7 hours of range time. We'll also have some special NFA Form 1 kits available there for those who would like to take advantage of them.

Basics of Defensive Shotgun Class

The shotgun is the absolute best CQB firearm in existence today. As far as home defense is concerned, handguns are to keep ‘em off of you until you can get to your shotgun. This dynamic course provides you, the student a reality based, aggressive, close quarters method for using the shotgun in the defense of your home. If you rely on a shotgun for self-protection and the protection of your family at home, this course is essential for you.

I thought I sent you an email letting you know we got your registration and attached a complete class syllabus with it. Then again, with getting the mother-in-law in a good nursing home and dealing with other in-laws (and outlaws) I've been busyier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I thought I did it from the gun shop so it would have come from an address that looked like atf762@yahoo.com which is a temporary address untill I have all the kinks ironed out of our new website and accompanying email system at http://tngunshop.com . I'll send you another one today.

I didn't get your email. Are you sending it to greenego@hotmail.com?

I just checked and saw that I had misspelled greenego (dropped the e). I hate it when I do that. Didn't bounce back though. Re-sent using your mailto link in the above post.

[BigPoppa]

You got a bead on when you might run this course again after the October class ?

[Guest Phantom6]

Not yet but send me an email and I'll put you on the list. Email to info@firearmsclasses.com with Defensive Shotgun Class in the subject line

[BigPoppa]

Yup, that's it. I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on. Your spam filter must be knockin' me out 'cause I've sent it out twice now. Check your filtered file. I haven't had any rebounds from your email server. Now I'm really curious.

Its strange to me also. I will send you an email and see if you get it. I know hotmail will mark all the email I get from NRA as unsafe but I still get it. Maybe we can look at this at a break on the 26th.
