Wow. I'm sorry I missed the original brouhaha (I think), because I would rather have known exactly what was said than to just see the rubble left in the aftermath and try to decide what was what based on only partial information. But, as with so many situations in life, this one is what it is and will have to be left at that.
So, here's what the blog that started it all is saying now:
http://www.ncgunblog.com/2013/06/06/gun-school-post-has-been-made-private/
I first heard about it from Tam:
http://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com/2013/06/just-walk-away.html
And there's a thread on a local forum:
http://forum.pafoa.org/training-tac...al-weapons-training-academy-near-erie-pa.html
So now you know what I know about the situation.
And I'd like to leave it at this: IF anyone, in any training, competition, practice range formal or informal, hunting or any other situation where firearms are involved, makes you feel unsafe, JUST LEAVE. Don't make a scene. Separate yourself from the situation safely and expeditiously and worry about sorting out the details later.
Unfortunately, differences of opinion happen. I've seen them happen in a training venue, more than once. And I hate to see the egos come out. But they do, sometimes.
As often as we preach ADEE here it should be a default position for any such situations, but a reminder never hurts.
