When Considering A Concealed Carry Class

It should to be understood that not all concealed carry classes are alike.

  • Most are ‘certificate mills’.
  • Few provide any actual handgun training.

Those classes conducted in rented hotel rooms are the greatest example.

Educate yourself, ask questions, know what you are spending your money and time on before you commit to a class.

Are you aware that in a hotel conducted concealed carry class:

  • There is no firearm training conducted
  • There is no trip to a range to fire a real handgun
  • The firearm proficiency evaluation involves the firing of ONE paint cartridge at a paper target taped to the hotel room wall
  • A great portion of the class involves the selling of insurance
  • You receive a black and white photocopy of a certificate on which you have to hand print your own name

Concealed Carry Class

Homeowner fires on three intruders, killing two

So, you think you armed and prepared for anything. You had best think again.

By Chris Tisch – 07-10-2020

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — Two armed intruders were shot dead and a third was wounded when a homeowner fired on them early Friday, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

The homeowner said he was inside his home playing video games when at about 12:43 a.m. he heard the glass of his laundry room door shatter, according to a sheriff’s report. He saw an arm reach inside to unlock the door. Then the homeowner said he saw a masked man walk in and aim a gun at him.

The homeowner said he grabbed his Glock 9mm pistol, which was just a few feet away, and fired several times at the intruder. He saw the intruder fall down, the report said.

Then a second masked intruder entered the house, and the homeowner said he fired at him, too. That intruder also collapsed.

The masked men were aiming their weapons at the homeowner when they were shot, said Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco.

The homeowner said he then saw a third intruder enter, the report said. The homeowner started firing again, but said his Glock jammed. Then he said he grabbed a Kriss Vector 10mm semi-automatic rifle, but didn’t fire it. The third intruder had run away.

The homeowner said he called his neighbor for help and told him he had just shot two intruders. While the homeowner was on the phone with 911, he said, he heard his neighbor yelling outside: The neighbor had detained the third intruder, who was wounded, at gunpoint in the front yard. The homeowner went outside to help.

The victim advised he shot all three intruders because they were armed and forced entry into his home and he believed they were going to kill him,” said an arrest report.

When deputies arrived, the two intruders were pronounced dead at the scene. The third was taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

Tramel was questioned at Tampa General Hospital but denied involvement, deputies said. Then he told them that Casado wanted to rob the homeowner, according to his arrest report, so he rode with the two men. Thy wore masks and gloves and armed themselves.

EDITORIAL COMMENT:

If you think having taken a ‘concealed carry class’, owning a little pistol and taking a couple of trips to a range to shoot at paper target hanging from a wire, prepares you for this type of situation, you are delusional.

You need to have defensive shooting training. You need to have a defensive firearm. You need to have a defensive mindset.

Unless you are a Navy Seal, an Army Ranger or a retired law enforcement officer or you have not had defensive firearms training and you think you can defend yourself and your loved ones against the type of attack described above, you are living in a fantasy world.

Learn to defend your life and the lives of your loved one with official NRA firearms training.
