? about carry

[fightingquaker13]

The CCW weapon is the first gun or at least the first pistol for  lot of people. They just never needed or wanted one before. Thats fine. As long as they practice I have no problems. Like all newbies a lot will make the newbie mistake of buying cheap, then a month later buying something better. I would also bet its a pretty good time to be a pistol instructor. Our local range seems to be doing a pretty brisk business in personal instruction.

Love my Tangfolio EAA Witness .40 compact. Solid, very reliable and accurate, has the "Wonderfinish", SA/DA...

Only thing that keeps me from carrying it more is the ported barrel, and the rear sight is kinda tall. If someone has a link to get a non-ported barrel, I'd appreciate it.

Not as heavy as it looks, and has a great grip.

Sounds like a useful class for newbies, legal requirements aside.

NC has an all day class, 7-9 hours, mostly class, scenarios, legal review, justified, video,..etc,..

than competency field stripping, loading, unloading, holstering, etc,.....

than live fire exercise with (for me 25 rds.) instructor graded every target. "Loosely, but still had to be in the black".

FL, ram and cram 2 hour course at the gun show, mostly filling out the form correctly, picture, fingerprint, $40, drive to nearest range, 150 people in class, take home Xerox copies of FL gun laws.

Shoot 1 round, with instructor furnished .38 revolver. pick up certificate, mail it in and wait.

I thought NC was much better in this regard. Class was limited to 12, instructor gave you one on one, you knew more when you left, than when you started.

Even the complete novice in my NC class, knew the fundamentals of safety, marksmanship, when she left with her old .38 revolver. She took away more than the yahoo's in the FL class...

FQ,

I agree. It's good to know the ROE of the state you live in.

other then the 11 of 20 rounds deal, that sounds like a great start.
