I learned how to pronounce Bryan's last name (almost worth the price of admission in itself).
Yep...Was it "KY-you"?
Yep...
The other guy's name was Vernon Lorenz. I agree that, at first, I thought he came off as almost an elitist, but I went up to talk to him on the first break just to get a feel for him, and he was a very nice, cool guy. He just doesn't share my view that OCing is fine and dandy. I honestly don't think he should have even mentioned it since it wasn't really brought up. Ciyou did take a little stab at OC early, but it was brief.
Anyway, I was VERY, VERY impressed with both Ken Campbell and Senator Brent Waltz. They brought interesting vantage points to the panel. A special thanks to Bob Aldridge also for putting this on and posting it here. I feel like a thief for only paying $5.
I don't think I technically learned any new laws that I was unaware of, but my memory was refreshed on them. The biggest thing i took from this was being able to hear thoughts and views from the LE side, the lawyer side, and the legislator side all in the same place about the same topics.
Oh, and INGO, don't worry Senator Waltz assured us the Lifetime LTCH wasn't going anywhere any time soon. haha
They recommended this book "Principles of Personal Defense"
Amazon.com: Principles Of Personal Defense (9781581604955): Jeff Cooper, Paul Kirchner, Louis Awerbuck: Books
And after the seminar, we paid a visit to Bradis Guns - I see why all the Indy people like shopping there!
Making my dues and paying my respects publicly to Bob , Bryan Ciyou, Brent Waltz, Ken Campbell and Vernon Lorenz.
You know, the greatest take away from the ENTIRE day was getting to speak with and hear valuable feedback from four COMPLETELY different people.
Taking away their professions, seeing all four of them on the streets,
I'd never have thought they all had one same motive (Protecting our rights as law abiding citizens).
Big props to Bob for doing what he does as well as the Illinois SWAT guy that was there to speak as well.
I recorded the entire seminar from my phone and listening back on the audio, it really came out pretty clear.
My "notes" I took down from the entire day were break downs of different subject matters at certain points in the recordings.
Maybe when I get some free time, I'll upload them in sections.
Lots of great information; I couldn't have asked for a better turnout. Thanks again to everyone who helped,
Jeff

Couldn't agree more about seeing them on the street and not associating their views. haha.
The IL SWAT guy looked like one bad mo'fo'. I wouldn't ever look at him wrong if I saw him on the street. Talk about intimidating. haha. He had some great vantage points also, and seemed to be very humble about his career.
I thought about uploading my notes too. Just haven't gotten around to it.
