Hi all.
I took the GOAL concealed carry seminar there used to be a course description on http://www.goal.org,. Since I can't find it on their website, here's a copy:
My opinion of the class
The class was pretty good. There were about six students, and three empty seats (I think they were just no-shows).
All topics in the syllabus were covered. Only four hours were available, so we didn't get into extreme detail on any one topic. Instead, we hit every topic, questions were asked and answered, and information on where to get further training was provided. The main point of the class seemed to be to introduce the students to concealed carry, and to make us know what training is available, and that we should get as much training as possible.
The two major highlights of the course (for me) were the role-playing scenarios and the "where do we go next" information.
Several scenarios were presented (with blue guns, blue knives, and other assorted tools, and the students as the victims), I would have really liked more than we had. Of course, we only had four hours, so I understand not having many scenarios.
The "Where do we go next" information included many local classes, not all of which cost an arm and a leg to take (i.e. a kubotan course for $40, and a more advanced course (I forget the name of it) for $300).
Another nice part of the course that sticks out in my mind: holster selection. Jon and Darius had about 30 holsters that we could try on (with blue guns).
Sorry if I missed something - this is the first class report I've done
If you've got any questions about the class, I'd be happy to respond.
