Defensive Handgun Training

[Silver350]

Today I took a 8 hour class on defensive handgun. This course would provide the neccesary training on how to defend yourself in your home. It provided great information on what could happen if you ever get in the situation on having to use deadly force and what is neccesary to do afterwards. The instructor also gave me a tip on the range that helped me improve my shooting. If you are interested taking a course I highly recomed Micheal Bender. http://www.ppa-wi.com/

Also if you are looking on handgun laws or anyother state laws on guns here is a link for that information. http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/

Hello again, Christopher,

Yes, I have room for your crew on Mar 20 as well as on Apr 10. Simply call
to discuss and pre-register.

Let me know more questions.

With best regards,

I’ll be glad to have you in my handgun self-defense class on Saturday, February 13, 2010. This note provides info about location, schedule, gear, and your preparation.

I’ll begin instruction at 10:29am.

The complete course will be conducted at Fletcher Arms, 1441A E. Main Street, Waukesha, WI 53186, (262) 549-4488. Directions from I-94 and I-43 are below. GPS coordinates are included.

Please arrive between about 30 minutes early to receive class materials, and get settled in. If you need to reach me near class time that morning, my cell phone number is (608) 239-7474. Barring student equipment problems, I expect we’ll finish live-fire drills and your Utah carry permit training certifications by 7:45pm.

Please bring along a picture ID of some sort so we have identification for notarizing you documents.

Please don’t bring firearms and live ammunition into the classroom. Secure them in your vehicle or elsewhere until we visit the range.

As for gear, bring a handgun, at least 50 rounds of ammunition, and at least two serviceable magazines or a speedloader, if you have them. Holsters and mag pouches are not required for Handgun1. You may rent a handgun from Fletcher Arms. Rate is about $8.00 per hour and they require use of their ammunition. My recommendation for defensive handguns for this course are double-action revolver, .38 Special or larger caliber, or semi-automatic, double-action, 9MM or larger caliber. Fletcher Arms has either.

PLEASE be certain your firearm has recently been cleaned and is in safe working order. It likely ran just fine on your last visit to the range, but might decide to baulk on training day and cause you to return on another date to complete your live-fire qualification. You’re welcome to bring a second gun (and applicable ammo) if you’re concerned about reliability of your primary firearm. I’ll be grateful if you take some time before class to get re-acquainted with your gun. Practice clearing, loading, unloading, racking slides, releasing magazines, and using decocking and safety mechanisms. It wouldn’t hurt to read through your Owner’s Manual for a refresher on functionality.

If available, please bring ear protection, eye protection, and a baseball-type hat. Brimmed headgear will keep hot brass from finding its way between your eyepro and face. Pain may be temporary but makes concentration difficult, a serious safety event during live fire. Fletcher Arms has loaner eye and ear protection as well.

We’ll take periodic breaks to stretch and for a 30-minute lunch around 1:00. I highly recommend you bring a sack lunch to avoid missing part of the afternoon class should you get delayed in a restaurant. You’re quite welcome to bring food and beverages into the classroom. Dress casually and comfortably. Layering is best so you can adjust to varied temperatures in the classroom and range. It’s a long day.



What you need to do.


Just got done calling to set up for March 20th.

Think he said that Ron had already signed up. Just say you had seen it on the car website with Chris Minnich.

He'll get you all set up for the $140.

They can take care of the finger print stuff as well isntead of going to the police department for another $10, same thing as the passport quality photo they can do for another $10, and then $25 for Fletcher's for the whole day range time instead of the $14/hour.

So a total of $185, of which $140 I paid today. The other $45 is in cash at the range.

Come on and sign up! Mike was decent to talk to on the phone and answered my questions very well.

[SSLEVO]

How much do all of those courses cost?

[Rocket Power]

Odd they would have a CCW cert class in one of the two states w/o CCW

[Silver350]

The cost of the handgun courses very. The class alone is $200 however sign up to get there e-mails and they will send you e-mails about discounted rates. When I signed up it was $139. For the class and then 25 for facilities fee and anothed 20 for them to finger print, take you photo and noterize your application for a Utah permit. Although right now there belovide cat is very ill and to try to save it they are offering courses for $50 each.

You cannot conceal with this permit in wisconsin or illinios but with this permit you can in 29 other states. So if you travel a lot you might be able to depending on if you are in a state that allows the utah permit.

[SSLEVO]

Huh, weird. I guess i would be interested in just learning more about the topic. I'm not planning on cc anywhere.

[Silver350]

Yeah that is what I thought but I figured for them to do everything for the cc permit it was only an extra $20. I am getting mine in hopes that Wisconsin if they do pass CCW they would allow the use of the Utah Permit and if they do then I wouldn't have to take a class with all the other people trying to get their CCW permit. Plus I might be going to Texas this Summer so I would bring my firearm with me then.

[Goat Roper]

Thanks for the info!

[Goat Roper]

Me and a buddy of mine form Iowa are taking this class on Saturday morning, supposed to be a huge class. I will let you know how it all goes.

[fivonut]

Odd they would have a CCW cert class in one of the two states w/o CCW

It's believed that if/when WI approves CC there will be a class requirement and by having already completed a class you won't have to wait in long lines to take one after it's passed.

[That_Guy]

Odd they would have a CCW cert class in one of the two states w/o CCW


i plan on taking it so when we do get it i will get grandfathered in

[Crawlin]

Soon as I get a free weekend that matches up, I'll be wanting to take this too.

[Quick96ss]

Soon as I get a free weekend that matches up, I'll be wanting to take this too.

Let me know id be interested in taking this too!

[That_Guy]

we should do this as a group if we get a group together he said the class would only cost 140! wammy

[pOrk]

I'm in for this, let's make it happen.

[lasttimearound]

me too

[Crawlin]

Besides this month, it looks like March 20th(a Saturday) is the next day that he will be at Fletcher's for the training course. Otherwise the one after that is April 10th.

Since it's that far ahead, everyone look at your calendars and decide if you want to make a commitment to go to it. We could call him up and say we have 5-6 guys coming and see what he can do.

If everyone can decide on one date being better than another, I'll sign up right now with you guys.

[That_Guy]

march or april are both open for me.

[juicedimpss]

sounds interesting

[Crawlin]

I remember what you said too scott.... hahahah

So since it all works, looks like march would be the earlier one ,get it done and away.

Ron, does that conflict with anything with True Street or the baby for you?

I'm down for March 20th

[WickedSix]

do they provide all the equipement or do you supply it yourself?

[Silver350]

You can either bring your own gun or rent one from fletchers and you will need 30 rounds of ammo.

[pOrk]

Says they include 50 rounds in the description?

[That_Guy]

count me in for the 20th of march!

[Goat Roper]

Says they include 50 rounds in the description?

Not included, you must bring it. From the email i received yesterday on what to bring;

[Crawlin]

I shot off the email, let's see what the response is about the feasibility of 6-7 of us joining that date.

[Silver350]

I already sent the link to this site about you guys planning on attending. Hopefully you guys can all go. I can sit in the class again if I wish too. However I think I might wait till next year or so for a refresher later

[That_Guy]

im pumped! that is all.

[Rocket Power]

I would hope that the training that I did at MATC would be enough to get me a permit if we ever get CCW here.

How much is the class you guys are talking about taking per person?

[Reverend Cooper]

Soon as I get a free weekend that matches up, I'll be wanting to take this too.

chris let me know when i will do it with you

[Crawlin]

chris let me know when i will do it with you

Giggity? hahaha


Hello again, Christopher,

Yes, I have room for your crew on Mar 20 as well as on Apr 10. Simply call
to discuss and pre-register.

Let me know more questions.

With best regards,

Michael Bender

PPA-WI.com


I'm calling today and registering for the class. So if you want to, I would be calling in the next couple days.

I will be attending the March 20th.

[Crawlin]

If everyone who wants to go, but can't call today, wants to post or PM me their real name maybe I can put you on a reservation list. Just so we know how many people would be going total. I don't know if you pay now or pay at the time of class.

Chris Minnich
Mike Cooper
Ron Wesley

[Silver350]

I think you have to pay when you call.

[juicedimpss]

im in too chris.

[Crawlin]

Guys, just call that (888) 657-4668 number and register today.

[Goat Roper]

I think you have to pay when you call.

You can pay cash the day of the class.

After the class, fingerprints, photo and range fee it was like $180 for me.

[Goat Roper]

Chris Minnich
Mike Cooper
Ron Wesley

Each person needs to call individually eventually as he has direct questions for each person that he must ask before class. You can get him a number of people now to hold seats BUT everybody will have to call.

[Crawlin]

Scott,

that's what I was assuming.

[Crawlin]

Just got done calling to set up for March 20th.

Think he said that Ron had already signed up. Just say you had seen it on the car website with Chris Minnich.

Come on and sign up! Mike was decent to talk to on the phone and answered my questions very well.

[pOrk]

I signed up, the passport photo anyone with a digital camera can do so that will save you 10 bucks :)

[Crawlin]

i have one too, i'm just too lazy, haha.

sweet that you signed up!

[Goat Roper]

I signed up, the passport photo anyone with a digital camera can do so that will save you 10 bucks :)

They are really picky about passport photos, take it from someone who has done a ton of them

[pOrk]

They are really picky about passport photos, take it from someone who has done a ton of them

The examples on the post office website would be extremely easy to replicate, so I will be doing my own. 10 bucks to take a picture? This isn't the wisconsin state fair and their isn't a parrot on my shoulder, I ain't payin 10 bucks :rolf

[juicedimpss]

i can see why that would be a deal breaker.:rolf

[Crawlin]

to me it's just a package deal thing.

the saving me the hassle of everything or even 10 seconds spent taking a picture at home and then printing it off, etc... is worth $10 to me.

I actually look at it like the fingerprint thing is worth the $20 to get it taken care of since that what seems the local PD is charging, so I'm still saving.

last thing I want is the application bounced because Utah didn't like my photo...

although I would really like one with a parrot, haha.

[pOrk]

I have an African Grey we can put on your shoulder ;)

The fingerprint thing was 10 bucks, not 20. The picture thing, I will take two pictures for you for 10 bucks and I will photoshop a parrot on your shoulder and everything

[Crawlin]

LMAO!!! hahaha.

I meant that at a local PD Ithink Greenfield said it was $20 last time I asked about it.

But definitely cool we got a good group going.

[Goat Roper]

This class is packed today, not a seat left in the room

[Silver350]

That is how it was for me when I went. All the chairs were full and there were seats in the far back with out a table that was occupied.

[Crawlin]

the guy said there was 43 people signed up for it

[Goat Roper]

Was a great day guys, Michael Bender (the instructor) does a hell of a job.

[Crawlin]

That's awesome Scott! Lots of good info?

I can't wait.

[Reverend Cooper]

chris revise your first post,with all essentials,phone number,cost what you need to bring all that great stuff. it wil make it easier that someone having to read the whole thread.
thanks

[Crawlin]

I updated the very first post of Scott's with just general contact info as well as what Mike sent out in an email as to what to bring and then some more general information I found in the thread.

[Goat Roper]

That's awesome Scott! Lots of good info?


Tons of great info, exam is a bitch though. Not supposed to talk about it since he knows a bunch of you guys are coming up :thumbsup We did not get out of their until a little after 8, we started at 10:30. Part of that is waiting for the range to open up at 6.

As far as the day is concerned, take a cooler with your soda and eats, including lunch. Also, the chairs really wear on your ass after a while. If you are someone who doesn't like sitting for long periods, you might want to think about a cushion, because you are on your ass ALOT.

You will be shooting 30 rounds this day and you can rent a gun from Fletchers or bring your own. Do NOT shoot the wires supporting the targets, as someone found out :rolf

Also, sit back and enjoy watching all the people who have never shot a gun before try and shoot....especially the people who have never shot a .357 Magnum before...go times.

[pOrk]

Did anyone not pass?

[Goat Roper]

Did anyone not pass?

The person who shot down the target rope left early. Thats all I recall but there were alot of people in there.

[Crawlin]

hahahahaha

shot the targer rope down. DAMN.

[moels]

When the boy and I went, I shot little high at 70' and hit the arm that the target clamps into. Ooops!

[Silver350]

The exam wasnt that hard how ever a couple of the written questions had me stumped.

[Goat Roper]

hahahahaha

shot the targer rope down. DAMN.

The people with the .357 kept nailing the metal bar in front of the clamp. Must have had hollows in it as the bullet just exploded across the paper, ripping it down the sides. Looked like a damn meteor hit it.

[juicedimpss]

im paid up and locked in.

[Crawlin]

Sweet!

Scott(Silver350), did you get your permit yet? I remember when we went shooting you said they had cashed the check, but you hadn't received anything yet?

[Silver350]

No I am still waiting on my permit. I was reading on the internet about some guy that sent his in sometime in october and got it end of december. I guess they have 90 days to get your permit out to you. Right now its only been a month for me I think I figured my 90 days would be sometime in March.

[Reverend Cooper]

called him and left a message to get into the class.

[Crawlin]

did he call you back Coop?

[Reverend Cooper]

I am locked in talked to mike tonight

[Reverend Cooper]

Don't forget about this the class is filling up quick

[Silver350]

So how many of you guys going?

[Reverend Cooper]

so far just from here,its me,chris,ron and a couple others i believe,i think my boss just signed up too,

[Silver350]

Today I received my Utah Permit in the mail I placed my permit application in the mailbox on December 31, 2009. Utah cashed my check on January 12, 2010 and recieved the permit today. A total of 53 days from when I dropped it in the mailbox.

Well they are saying within 60 days, down to the wire but they made it :thumbsup

[Silver350]

I read on the internet that a guy put his in the mail october 9th 2009 and it took him 87 days to recieve him. I thought it was 90 days that they had to get it to you

[juicedimpss]

coming up quickly,who else is locked in for this coarse?

[pOrk]

Meee

[That_Guy]

Im passing up on this months and hopping in on next months.

[Reverend Cooper]

are we gonna meet up for breakfast,I cant shoot on a empty tank

[pOrk]

are we gonna meet up for breakfast,I cant shoot on a empty tank

I'm in, where we eatin?

[Crawlin]

i'm all for that. there's the mcD's that's right down the street if you want something quick. Otherwise I believe there is a denny's just a bit up the way as well.

Question -

what are the shooting requirements portion of this training? Would like to get a couple "practices" before saturday.

we should be receiving an email soon from what I was told. I'm trying to find my big cooler for a bunch of soda/gatorade for the day too.

[Crawlin]

Remember to dress in layers from what the earlier "students" have said. Classroom could be cold, even though it's supposed to be 50's this week.

And seat cushion of some sort I'm thinking. My backside can't take real long periods of sitting.

[Silver350]

Chris you will do fine on the shooting part. One is you shoot a 8 1/2x11 piece of paper from 10' away and then another 8 1/2x11 piece of paper from 20 feet away.

[Reverend Cooper]

^ Really,maybe i should bring the Judge and 50 #4 and absolutely destroy the paper in one shot. Whatcha think Chris

[Reverend Cooper]

I'm in, where we eatin?

lets see if we can get the whole gang together early park at fletchers and ride to dennys in one car.

[Silver350]

^ Really,maybe i should bring the Judge and 50 #4 and absolutely destroy the paper in one shot. Whatcha think Chris

Yep it is seriously that close. I think he does that because your not really going fire your weapon far away. I dont think you would be able to use the judge.

[Crawlin]

Can always bring it and ask, hahaha.

I'm down for meeting early and headingto the denny's. I think the denny's is right down the street by Wilde Honda? bit further east. Not 100% sure though.

Oh wait, just remembered that's a Burger King.

[Reverend Cooper]

hey whats the link for the stuff we gotta read up on before the class.

[Silver350]

http://www.ppa-wi.com/?aim=course_preparation

Very good Read. He also recommends in his class to read the book On Combat by LT. Col. Dave Grossman....... Just dont pick up the book by him called "On Killing" LOL I did and it is a lot of stuff for the Military and dont think it is the same.

[Reverend Cooper]

thanks alot scott

[Crawlin]

there was a baker's square down the street at one point. don't remember if it's there anymore. was across the street from boucher chevrolet

[MurphysLaw88GT]

It is now a computer place. The Bakers Square is gone.

[Crawlin]

dammit! we are screwed for breakfast. mcd's or BK is all there is I think. that little diner next to the carpet store gone too? I remember someone who worked at the carpet store always had some cool GTO's out front back in the late 80's early 90's

[Silver350]

No problem coop. And I was at fletchers this weekend and it wasnt bad temp wise just bring atleast a sweatshirt and you should be good.

[Reverend Cooper]

chris we will hammer it out by this weekend

[Crawlin]

Just got the email....


I’ll be glad to have you in my handgun self-defense class on Saturday, March 20, 2010. This note provides info about location, schedule, gear, and your preparation. I’ll be grateful if you pass along this info to those who will attend with you.



The complete course will be conducted at Fletcher Arms, 1441A E. Main Street, Waukesha, WI 53186, (262) 549-4488. A link to Google Maps, driving directions from I-94 and I-43, and GPS coordinates are provided below.



I’ll begin instruction at 10:29am.



Please arrive between about 30 minutes early to receive class materials, and get settled in. If you need to reach me near class time that morning, my cell phone number is (608) 239-7474. Barring student equipment problems, I expect we’ll finish live-fire drills and your Utah carry permit training certifications by 7:45pm.



Please bring a picture ID of some sort, like a driver license, for when notarize your documents.



Please don’t bring firearms and live ammunition into the classroom. Secure them in your vehicle until we visit the range.



As for gear, bring a handgun, at least 30 rounds of ammunition, and a couple of serviceable magazines or a speedloader, if you have them. Holsters and mag pouches aren’t required. Fletcher Arms rents handguns for about $8.00. If renting, they require use of their ammunition. Preferable caliber for this course is .38 Special for revolver or 9MM or larger for semi-automatic.



If bringing your own firearm, be certain it’s clean and in safe working order. I’ll inspect all equipment prior to live-fire drills. Take some time to before class to get re-acquainted with your gun and its owner’s manual for a refresher on functionality … clearing, loading, unloading, racking slides, releasing magazines, and using decocking and safety mechanisms.



You’ll need ear protection, eye protection, and a baseball-type hat on the firing line, the latter to keep hot brass from finding its way between your eyepro and face. Pain may be temporary but it makes concentration difficult, a safety issue during live fire. Fletcher Arms has loaner eye and ear protection for those without.



Stretch breaks will be periodic. Lunch break will be 30 minutes. I recommend a sack lunch. Bring them to the classroom if you like.



Dress casually and comfortably. It’s a long day.



To prepare for the course please read the four essays on my Web site: www.PPA-WI.com. Click “Course Preparation” on the front-page menu.



When you arrive, we’ll collect $25 in cash for your classroom and range facility use.



Your Utah permit-to-carry application requires a completed fingerprint card and passport-quality photo. We can take your prints and photo in class for $10 each ($20 cash total per person), about what it costs elsewhere. Or, you can have your police department take your fingerprints and have a passport photo service take your photo. We can notarize your application for no charge during class.



Let me know questions. My contact info is below and attached. We’ll see you that morning.



With best regards,



Michael Bender

I took my XDm .40 today. I'll have to find out if I can bring both that and my Taurus model 85Ti as well. Although I'd probably get picked on because it's got an exposed hammer and Crimson Trace grips... :rolf

[Reverend Cooper]
