Teachers, ALLOWED to Teach  !

I have taught Minn’s FST, (Firearms Safety Training), first class about 12 to 14 years old, for a number of years. Last 5 years spent most of my time in AZ. I do come back to MN for Taxes, (still the old fashion way),  when I do, and other teachers of FSC know I am in town, they call me and tell me I am welcome to join the class and participate.

So, this Thursday, I taught a part of the class.  One student was horsing around, talking when other instructors were lecturing/demonstrating. When I was my turn, first thing I did was point to him, asked his name, told him he has a choice.’”You can continue to disrupt the class, or you can listen and learn.  If you continue to disrupt, I will expel you, you will go outside and wait for your ride, and never come  back in again. Or you can listen and learn, along of the rest of the students. ”Pick one”.

He stared at me, mouth open, then was quiet. !!!!!!

Today, Sat, Field day, 5 groups of 5, (small class), I was at the .22 Live Ammo shooting station. This person was in the third group. (It takes about 3 min to walk to that station). Watching him, he was trying to trip others, pushing others, just being a Azz Hole in general. He turned the corner saw me, then, BEHAVED, and passed the class.

POINT IS !!!
Let Teachers TEACH !

No one, that is NO TEACHER EVER, corrected/disciplined that person.,
    NO ONE
Cause they were TOLD they could NOT !!!!!

Parents, your children are NOT YOUR FRIENDS,
They are your, CHILDREN,
To be TAUGHT !

When they are grown up, out of your house, have children themselves, THEN they become your friends.

Let Teachers TEACH !!!!!!!!

MnSpring, what do you think about the KelTec P 17?

I have a 22 magnum WMR 30 from Kel Tec and personally I think it’ the single handgun anyone needs. That’s my opinion.

 I agree with MnSprings personal defense firearm assessment.  It is an opinion that I agree with MnSprings firearm assessment.

 A double action revolver with an enclosed hammer is as "point and shoot" as one can get and is the statistically least likely to fail.  This is an opinion.

 What I have learned from firearm exercises is that very little stationary range-time skills transfer to moving-hostile target skills.  

 There isn't much one can do about it besides simplify the erroneous factors one would have a degree of control over.  The reason I prefer a revolver is because it is less likely to need in-action maintenance like clearing a jam.  

 As for the tactile feedback and how each human handles recoil attenuation there are a lot of variables.  If you prefer low-recoil, and train with low-recoil, then you will most likely engage more accurately with low-recoil.  Most of my training focuses on minimal trigger pulls so a revolver fits well for me.  I typically will only pull twice per engagement unless I perceive the situation to warrant otherwise.  

 My primary reason for recommending revolvers is because the average human asking about a home-defense firearm does practically no training or maintenance.  A grab-and-it-works gun is their best bet.

If they do, I’ll remind them that I or somebody else is still alive because of those things.

"...double action revolver ... is the statistically least likely to fail ..."

When advising a new person to firearms, and the selection comes up about 'Semi-Auto. vs  Revolver'.  One of the comments are:

When you buy a cute little Semi-Auto, you will learn to operate it, practice with it, then put it in the nightstand of your bedroom.

Suddenly you need it,  (after the last 2 + + + years).  

Which will operate by just pulling the trigger ?

The Semi Auto, which may have had, to much or to little oil ?
May have been put in the drawer with chamber empty, only magazine loaded.
May have the safety on.

Or the revolver, which will only require a pull of the trigger.
