Yes...this. As mentioned in another post...cop told the OCer "anything can be found on the internet."... Saying you obtained it thru RTK shows more knowledge and research...I would think.

Thanks Headcase I'm glad you liked my suggestion - you might want to add, that if you are grilled as to "where you got this [the MPOTEC Training manual]" that people should respond that it was received through a Pennsylvania Open Records request to the PSP's Right to Know unit.

Seeing that you guys did one and have the facilities to do more based upon interest, I included the thread link in the OP.

Thanks Shawn.L and Headcase. We're trying to firm up 9 members that said they were interested. Narrowing in on a date in Nov or Dec. now.

PeteG said that anytime we can get 8-12 people together for a Sunday he is free at the location on Brownsville Road (a Dojo that is not used on Sundays) he would be willing to hold the class. We should have people knocking down our proverbial doors...

Would it be a good idea to mention something about mall policies? As I stated here (Kicked out of Logan Valley Mall by rent-a-cops), I don't believe that mall firearms policies are common knowledge among the general public.
