I spent yesterday and am going back today for my Personal Protection Oustide the Home course held at PSC. My instructor is Marc Gentine with Charles Cotton going over force/deadly force part of the class. It is now 330am and I can not sleep as I am looking forward to todays class. It ceases to impress me the importance of training. I have had my CHL about 13 years, spent many hours at different levels of training and practice sessions and have been instructing for a few years. The more I train and practice the more I realize my limitations, as well as the bad guys limitations. The more I realize what can go wrong. It seems ironic but I train so I dont have to shoot, if that makes sense. Here a few points I feel compelled to share.

1. The best carry gun is the one you have on you.

2. Training/practice build confidence which leads to good judgement.

3. The best way to win a fight is not to get into one.

4. Train like your life depends on it, because it does.

Thank you for listening to me,

I was up at 3:00 a.m. too, my niece left her alarm clock here and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off ... it's a ball or something..

Enjoy the class today

Great points. Enjoy class.

I have taken both the inside the home and outside the home training that Marc gives. Really good thinking stuff and that is what it is all about. You have to be able to do the actual function of what ever you may be involved in, but the thinking part has to come first. Recognizing what is really happening and how to respond correctly to what it is. And believe me, when adrenaline is running through your veins, thinking clearly is very hard to do. Training is what you do, to do what you need to do, under that condition. Great course I think for anyone.
