It may surprise you but I don't think that is common knowledge. That is why some people posting to tactics and training keep saying that FoF is undervalued. People like to imagine what they would have done but making it happen in real life is not always as easy as planning it out in the...
Thanks for starting the thread esrice. Here is my take:
1. The training is realistic. There aren't any movie-plot scenarios. They are things that could happen to any of us during the course of doing things that we'd normally do. The roll-players were great and Pleasantville gets better...
"I'm not a big believer in mandating training by law because then who is going to say how much training you should have? But anybody who is a responsible gun owner should self-regulate and try to go for as much training as they can possibly get or being as capable as they can be."

I'm pretty sure that I'm the first to make "Monkey Fist" into a tag on INGO.

Thanks a lot for the great write-up. I can't wait to take DPII next spring.

Thanks for leading a great class Marc. It was the comment during the Pistol I course about investing in things that are most likely to save lives that made me want to join the class.
I'm now working on assembling a small kit and I'll make a post about it when it is finished.
