Our next Instructor Training in Personal Protection Outside The Home will be held over two weekends on August 9/10 and August 23/24 in Front Royal, VA.  Direction will be posted soon.

The course will begin at 9:00.

You will need to provide:

    (1) suitable pistol.  A back-up pistol is suggested since there is at least a 15% failure rate during training.
    (2) strong side holster suitable for extended use - we recommend Kydex or plastic holsters.  First choices would include the Blackhawk QCQ, and the Safariland 6070 or 6270.  Retention is not required, but recommended.  Competition holsters like those by Blade-Tech, Uncle Mike's (Kydex), and Fobus are acceptable, but retention holsters are preferred as that is what should be used on the street.  Holsters which do not completely cover the trigger are not acceptable.
    (3) suitable belt - we strongly recommend a double thickness leather belt.  Dress belts are not a good idea, and will cause you no end of trouble.  Woven belts will not be allowed.  Belts by the Beltman  <http://www.thebeltman.net/> or similar are good.  Duty belts are acceptable if fitted properly and secure.  It is not recommended you bring a brand new duty belt to class.
    (4) 2 extra magazines or speed loaders with a suitable magazine/speed loader pouch for your belt
    (5) a minimum of 500 rounds of factory loaded ammunition, in factory boxes.
    (6) suitable tactical flash light - such as those manufactured by Surefire, Stream Light, and BlackHawk are recommended.  Lights such as the  Inova (T1, T2, T2 or T4), LASER Devices OV-1, can be made to work.  A Mag-light is not suitable.  Flashlights SHOULD have momentary switches (push-on, release-off, not push-on, stay-on, push-off).  It is strongly recommended the button be on the rear cap.
    (7) paper and pen for note taking
    (8) You must also bring a hat suitable to be used with your hearing protection that will also protect you from the sun.
    (9) Bring suitable sun screen

If you have access to one or more gun purses please let us know.
