SLED: Gun instructor arrested for teaching 1-hour CWP class

SLED: Gun instructor arrested for teaching 1-hour CWP class

A Gaffney CWP instructor was arrested this January for taking students’ money and not providing the 8-hour training class they paid for. Be careful who you train with:

SLED said that any of Wykel’s students that received their CWPs and did not complete the eight-hour training class are subject to perjury charges as well for falsification of the application process.

The CWP classes taught by Training for Life LLC easily meet the minimum 8-hour requirement, as well as all other SLED requirements.

Husband and wife team up in Greenville

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Alex

WYFF4 reports that a husband and wife went to check on their vacant house in Greenville, SC last week. While they were there, the homeless man in their house attacked the husband, but his wife came to his rescue, shooting his attacker in the face. She sounds remarkably calm in the 911 tape. No charges will be filed against the couple, but their attacker will be charged with a felony.

Don’t bother reading the comments on the WYFF4 site. Comments supporting the couple are being deleted. To some, the fact that the couple were armed is prima facie evidence that they were looking to murder someone. Would having matches in their kitchen make them suspected arsonists, too?

Get your CWP!

Posted on January 1, 2012 by Alex

By now, everyone in South Carolina should be familiar with what happened to Beverly Hope Melton late last year. If you are not, read the article and watch the video. To quote the victim’s brother-in-law: “He’s a monster. He deserves to die.”

The message to women from the Kershaw county sheriff in response to this crime is clear: Get your CWP. There just are not enough law enforcement officers to protect you agains all the evil men that are out there.

CRG Course Scheduled in March

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Alex

Which is more important to you in a gunfight: shooting the bad guy, or not getting shot yourself?

Learn how to win the fight without getting shot in the Suarez International Close Range Gunfighting class on March 17-18. We’ll cover the fundamentals of getting off the X, essential point shooting, and how to take advantage of your adversary’s OODA loop. We take you through a gunfight from beginning to end, from the bad guy’s victim selection process to dealing with the police after the fight. This is the class that all of our other intermediate and advanced pistol classes build on. Taking CRG will satisfy the prerequisite for the 0–5 Feet class in April, as well as qualifying you to attend our alumni events.

There is no prerequisite for CRG, but it is not for the novice shooter.  You don’t need to be a crack shot, but safe, solid gun handling skills are essential. If in doubt, ask.

Cross-dominance, RMRs and point shooting

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Alex
Earlier this year, I had TSD install a Trijicon RMR sight on my primary Glock 19 carry gun. When I started practicing with it, everything was as expected when it came to sighted fire: I was keeping all of my shots in the silhouette at 100 yards, plinking at 8” plates at 50 yards, etc. Point shooting while moving, however, did not feel right. It felt as if something was slowing me down. I recently figured out what it was, and thought I’d try to explain it here in case others are in the same situation.

Read the rest (with lots of pictures) on Warrior Talk News.
