MO: John Ross' St. Louis area CCW Training Classes

[John Ross]

I'm back doing LOTS of classes.

So far they have been one five-hour evening classroom session 6-11 and a weekend range session at my private facility that includes lunch, and a chance (after qualification is over) to shoot some interesting guns (Seecamp, Ti/Scan .357 and .44 S&Ws, FN 5.7, full auto Glock, Thompson, and BAR, S&W 500, etc.)

I am probably going to also start offering at least one class a week that is all in one day. This will probably be on Mondays (and maybe another day as well) because my friends in the restaurant industry tell me "That's our Sunday."

I am so far still holding the line on the $100 all-inclusive price. I will be having classes every week except March 20-27, which is my daughter's spring vacation.

Visit my website for more details, FAQ, etc.

Ask around--I think you'll find that others will tell you that my class is thought-provoking, interesting, exciting, and a good value.

I've got classes 3/2, 3/4, and 3/7 if you want something right now.

To answer an anticipated question: I believe we have won. It may take a little while in some areas, but it will happen. Everywhere. No county will opt out.

For all their bluster, Miller and Newman are going to have little success getting people to post more bonds for more Hancock suits when the $1/4 million they had to post in the first place is still at risk (and yes, I believe they will lose all or a big chunk of it.)

The only way Carry is not going to be Missouri's law of the land in the next few weeks is if a legislator introduces a bill to repeal it, and gets the bill passed.

Given the passion which so many people have for this most important right, I believe such a legislative attempt would be a textbook example of trying to push butter up a wildcat's *ss with a red-hot poker.

I'm getting a number of private emails asking if I offer more advanced classes.

The short answer is yes.

For example (not related to concealed carry) I have for several years taught people to hit flying targets with a rifle and moving targets with a rifle or handgun. I have also given machine gun courses. On the defensive shooting side, building a killing house out on my range in 2004 is one of my intentions, as there's real interest in this.

The problem is that while I'd be willing to teach an advanced class right now, and bring in Lofty Wiseman, Evan Marshall, or some other internationally known expert to teach the really high level stuff, there would need to be a demand for it that rivalled the required-by-law basic course.

I can't very well take up a whole day teaching one or two people to shoot clays with a rifle or demonstrating room-clearing techniques when that day could be used giving 40 people the basic course that they HAVE to have to be legal.

When things level off after this initial onslaught of training requests, I'll be more able to accomodate advanced requests.

That said, if you have ten or more people who have the same schedule and want the same thing, contact me and maybe we can work something out. Feel free to email me with the kind of classes you would like to see.
