One personal comment about USCCA: This organization is run as a business, _not_ as a community site (like this one). They are very focused on subscribers and motivating you to subscribe to their site/magazine. They _do_ have some nice articles, and they _do_ provide a great service to people that don't have communities like this one (not all of us are blessed to live in The Great Republic of Texas :txflag: ), but their site is chock full of member-only roadblocks and promotions to join USCCA.

I don't want to seem overly negative about that though. I'm glad to be a member, because I do find some gems of information on their site sometimes. I just wanted to give a fair warning to those of you that follow the link I've posted.
I got banned from said organization with no warning as bonus I got a 2 page long full of hate, bigotry and cussing from drunk moderator who was reportedly "sick" at the time his spewed his feelings. After a week or so, I was glad that I cleansed myself from that association.

No remorse.

A)Which begs the question - should CHL holders be working with their local PDs to train for such scenarios?
B)Should CHL holders (if they want to) be involved in FOF training with local PD?
C)Would local PD allow that?
D)Should CHL holders be querying their local PDs on their training policies vis a vis GG vs BG scenarios involving CHL holders?
E)Would local PDs be accepting of citizen review of the training?
Police Officers hate killing the good guy, no? Local PD hates to be sued for multi-million dollars for negligent homicide.
So,
A) Yes, why not? Local PDs have Police Academy and Citizens on Patrol Programs. So, "meeting" CHLer training is also a great help.
B) Maybe yes, maybe no. The best is to pro-active about such requests.
C) Again why not? Asking is not a crime.
D) Maybe not, but it could be possible if you are CHLer and a "meeting" a CHLer is available.

Re: Post-incident survival - in public

Best strategy is
1) Clear communication with responding officers.
2) Just hope that said officers are well trained to handle a good guy with a gun.
