I took a John Farnham advanced course a few years ago in Victoria, Texas.

John always offers free slots to local law enforcement. Two Victoria PD SWAT officers opted in.

John appointed them team captains, and playground selection ensued. Yep; I was old, so I was picked last.

Fast forward: Farnham's advanced course requires a very prescribed course of fire; it ain't easy.

My first time up, I nailed it. One up, one down. Ended up having the second fastest time overall and won me a CTKR folder.

The SWAT officers struggled. Neither of them finished in fewer than a dozen attempts.

The moral of this story?

When gun-banners say that only trained police officers should have guns, understand that lowly civilians may even be better trained and more capable than SWAT officers.

No cure for RSD.
I also have four other issues that make life miserable. I can still shoot and reload. I just cant run away from trouble should it happen. So I got my CHL about 2 years ago..
I spent 5 years in Vietnam, and 15 years as a Deputy in Bexar County Texas.
I am glad I got the CHL, It is like having peace of mind..
