Gun Class Humor

By reader request, here is "tell me you've never been to a gun class, without saying 'I've never been to a gun class'."  My thoughts in italics below the interesting comment.

"Half of the class will be FEDS."
Haven't had one "FED" yet. 

"Anyone charging to teach small unit tactics right now is suspicious."
Anyone giving that information away for free is even more suspicious. 

"No one in the  photo has a decent position, and 1 person in the kneeling photo might have bone support. this is somewhat surprising since the instructor lists Appleseed expert rifleman in his qualifications."
- I've attended 4 Appleseeds - have seen kneeling demonstrated one time - never have we shot from it in the Appleseed class. So not only has this person never been to a class, but they have also never been to an Appleseed, yet rely on the reputation of Appleseed. 
- I know of at least seven different kneeling positions - high kneel, double, lean left/right, braced, forward lean, standard, half-sitting. Only three use bone support. How do you know the person was not doing precisely what they were being instructed?

"You're doing it wrong!" (moving with a rifle in high-port position). 
Every major tactical school in the US teaches that position. 

"One of the best ways to make the FBI watch list... is to sign up for any weapons training."
<<eyeroll>>

"Avoid formal training. The government surely gets updated rosters from them."
The only rosters I make or send to the government are those for the Enhanced Carry Permit Class, as this is required by the State of Tennessee and is desired by the student so they can get their carry permit! 

"I know how to shoot. Don't need to pay to learn."
Yep. You're right!

  1. This made me laugh, especially the 2nd statement. Curious about your Appleseed experience...every one I've been to kneeling has been at least demonstrated. No disagreement with the critique, just curious.

    1. There is much written here about Appleseed. Three of the four events I've attended did not even demonstrate kneeling. The most recent one did. Ironically, the first three did not include the "Three Strikes" discussion that everyone online talks about, and the most recent one did. Their demonstration of kneeling was accurate for precision sport shooting.
