Beware of CONCEALED CARRY CLASSES conducted in rented hotel rooms!
What those who conduct such classes at local hotels do not want you to know:
They are NOT local providers or instructors. They are from out of town and in most instances, from out of state.
They do NOT provide any handgun instruction or training.
There is NO live-fire range time or training. If the class is conducted in a rented hotel room, you fire one paint cartridge at a paper target taped to a cardboard box. No hotel is going to allow you or anyone to fire a real gun inside the hotel.
They may not be licensed to conduct business where they are conducting classes.
Before registering for a concealed carry class and paying your money, do your homework, ask questions.
What firearm training is provided in the class? Will you be taught how to correctly use and fire a firearm?
What range does the provider use for the training?
How many rounds of ammunition will you fire during your training?
What are the instructor’s credentials?
Is the certificate of training issued recognized by the State of Florida for applying for a Florida concealed carry weapons license?
Is the class provider licensed to conduct business in the city and county where the class is conducted?
What is the class provider’s business address? Who do you contact if there is a problem with your paperwork after you complete the class?
Is there a local phone number to call?
Is the class provider licensed and insured?
Will the class instructor or provider attempt to sell you insurance? Ever been to a timeshare presentation?
Will the class instructor or provider attempt to sell you books or other materials?
If you do not ask the questions above, you have little to no regard for the training you receive and your hard earned money.
You can ask the questions above and get the concealed carry/firearms training you want or pay the out-of-town providers once and pay again to get a class and training that provides you necessary training to make you confident and proficient in the use of a firearm to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.
Not all concealed carry classes are alike. There is a definite difference. Do your homework, ask questions and shop around.
People have been injured by accidental fires from SIG Sauer guns, and they’re people who know how to use them properly—police officers and Army veterans. But when the gun is defective, even the most skilled user can have an accident.
Florida officer’s SIG Sauer lawsuit
Bob Northrop is a decorated veteran and was a Tampa, Florida police officer for 30 years. After returning, he was a reserve officer for 19 years. He was about to become the longest-serving officer for the city of Tampa.
But then his career came to an abrupt halt on February 27, 2020.
Northrop was working an extra-duty job at a high school, patrolling school sporting events. He was walking the ball fields at Jefferson High School and began to attach a set of keys to his service belt. When his hand brushed his holster to attach the keys, his SIG Sauer P320 pistol fired by itself. There were dozens of students just feet away.
The bullet blew apart the bones in his leg and ankle and he required surgery, screws, rods and lengthy rehabilitation. Northrop remained in the hospital for weeks after the accidental shooting.

The law firm of to Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky now represents more than 50 victims injured by Sig Sauer’s P320 pistol that features a spring-loaded striker firing mechanism.

Push to get citizens trained to ‘Stop the Bleed’ to save lives of severely injured.
Push to get citizens trained to ‘Stop the Bleed’ to save lives of severely injured
By: Rebecca Petit – ABC Action News-Tampa Bay May 19, 2022
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — On the heels of yet another mass shooting, this time in Buffalo, N.Y., there’s a nationwide push to teach people how to “Stop the Bleed.”
Training courses took place all day Thursday as part of National Stop the Bleed Day.
You don’t have to be an EMT or a medical professional to save someone’s life who is bleeding severely. The “Stop the Bleed” course teaches how to recognize a life-threatening bleed and intervene effectively.
“A lot of craziness is going on in the world and I just like to be prepared for my family and friends,” Aaron Travers said.
After many shootings and crashes witnesses are on the scene before first responders get there. A bystander may be the one who’s most likely to save a bleeding victims their life.
Travers drove from Osceola County to Polk County to take the lifesaving course.
“Everybody should know because the more people that do know the less opportunity for loss of life,” he said.
Robert Dummett hosts these free “Stop the Bleed” training classes. He’s the chief training officer and executive director at In-Gauge of Polk County, a non-profit organization focused on firearms safety.
“An individual can bleed to death in less than three minutes,” Dummett said.
Data shows the average emergency response time for the arrival of EMS personnel to an emergency scene is seven minutes.
Dummett said learning simple techniques can improve a bleeding victims’ chances of survival.
“Packing the wound and direct pressure on the wound and if that’s not sufficient to stop the blood loss, then we want to apply a tourniquet,” Dummett said. “We’re going to tighten this until all blood flow stops. I equate it to turning off a faucet for a garden hose.”
The goal is to get more people trained in the “Stop the Bleed” program, similar to the popularity of CPR training.
“The American college of surgeons created this stop the bleed course in the wake of the sandy hook tragedy years ago,” Lakeland Regional Health trauma surgeon Dr. Andrew Gaugler said. “However, it’s not just these national tragedies that make the news where people have the opportunities to save lives.”
Dr. Gaugler said Lakeland Regional Health has trained 506 people this year using “Stop the Bleed” kits. He said there’s also a federal push to make the kits more widely available.
“If you walk through any public building, an airport, a post office, a shopping mall, you’ll see along the walls there are signs for AED’s which are a life saving device used for cardiac arrest and CPR,” Gaugler said. “I think the perfect location for a bleeding control kit would be in the location of any of those devices.”
Empowering everyday people to provide life-saving care, until emergency personnel arrives.
You can order a your own “Stop the Bleed” kitonline. Stop the Bleed Month is held each May. To find more information, including where to find a ‘Stop the Bleed’ course near you, click here.
