Spartanburg County Waffle House Patron Shoots, Kills Armed Robber

February 8, 2012

From WYFF4:

Two armed men entered the restaurant and tried to rob it. A customer in the Waffle House, who is a concealed weapon permit holder, was also armed with a handgun and attempted to hold the suspects at gunpoint until law enforcement could arrive, deputies said. Deputies said one of the robbery suspects pointed his gun at the customer, and the customer then shot the man, who died on the scene.
Holding violent criminals at gunpoint is very risky. I’m glad it worked out for the good guy.

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

January 2, 2012

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!

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

December 30, 2011

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.
