Everyone, this is THE CLASS TO TAKE if you want to take your training to the next level. THe instructors at LMS are top notch as is the cirriculum. You have no idea how far behind the curve you are until you take FOF.

Thanks Marc... Guys i know this class was put out there with short notice (1 month). I know monies can be tight and schedules need adjusting, My concerns are this, IF this class or any other were posted with more time until going off ( say 3 months). Would there be more interest? I can and will schedule and host as many and as much training from LMSDefense as you guys can handle and want, i need to know what the general consensus is. I will say with much regret that Western Pa. is famous for the attitude of "i'll buy craploads of guns and ammo and put them in a safe and show them off to my friends and go out and shoot paper targets once in a while but i'll be damned if i spend $250 on training for someone to show me how to shoot my guns or defend myself because i've been hunting deer all my life and know how to shoot. ". I would like to see all of this changed. Why? Selfish reasons. I want to know that when i go out in public with my family that if something happens and things go south real quick that there could be someone around that i trained or trained with, who i know can and will be able to assist me and vice versa in protecting our families and innocent bystanders. This is just something to think about........

Eastern PA too, sadly, minus even the "compensating hunting expertise" excuse. In fact, it's prevalent everywhere.

And the pity is, there's no bigger eye-opener than one's first day of FoF.

Thanks dgg9. I have the feeling that people dont realize what it takes for an instructor to come in to teach a class like this. LMSDefense is based out of California. So there is airfare, there is hotel and possibly car rental. Now with FoF there is the UTM (simunitions) ammo and the cost of having the guns shipped here. Plus there are costs that go to the host facility. So what ever is left will cover the course materials if any, and salary for instructor(s). just something to think about....
