Re: ACT 235 certification
Thanks Jailkeeper,
I just edited the OP to include an Anthony Arms site for this same class.
I don't know if Otto Orive is the instructor but he is associated with Pafoa.
I will continue to update the OP as information is collected.

Re: ACT 235 certification
27Hand,
My company Personal Security Consultants provides the defensive handgun training courses at Anthony Arms, however we are not involved in the ACT 235 Training.
If you have any questions regarding the ACT 235 classes, you should contact the Manager Mark Pasquale; he can answer any of the questions that you might have. (412-469-9992)
Also, one of my Range Officers took his ACT 235 Training with S.H.I.E.L.D.; if you have any questions about their training program I would be glad to assist you in contacting him for the particulars about their program.
Good luck in your endeavor!

Thanks Otto,
I wasn't sure if you had any involvement.
I did talk to Jeff at SHIELD and the info I posted was from him.
I may talk to Mark just to compare notes and cost (they more than likely are somewhat similar).
I'm at least a year out at this point from deciding what I'll do after cleaning out the garage and painting the house inside and out. :)
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Re: ACT 235 certification
Pardon my ignorance, but can someone explain the fundamental differences between LTCF and Act 235? Is 235 for LEO's exclusively?

$450 I think is alot.
I took my Act 235 course in November of last year.
I did it at LCCC in Schnecksville.
The class itself was $235, psych eval was $150, and then fingerprinting fees and everything else came close to $500.
I did it in 2 weekends (Fri, Sat & Sun). One weekend was firearms training and Qualifications.
Mine was:
10 @7yds
10 @15yds
10 @25yds
2nd weekend was Baton, handcuffing review, State laws reviews (what you can and cannot do under the ACT), force continuum and testing and some other stuff as well.
It was pretty informative.
I currently work for an "amusement park" as an armed guard in the Lehigh Valley, but will be looking for other work come September due to the position being "seasonal". I like what I do and I am looking to continue in this field.

I know where you work. I was surprised to see you guys carrying when we were there last weekend. But I guess if guards should be carrying anywhere, it's there. I assume you guys deal with a lot of b.s. from the downtown A-town crowd.
