What is your problem?Lol. "Self defense classes"
Fuckin yuppy phag.
oh, is it that we had a disagreement in a totally different thread so now you are just going to make asshole replies to all my posts from now on all over the whole forum?
@Hughinn look I want to make it perfectly clear I have nothing against you at all. I'm sure if we met in person we'd probably get along fine and have plenty of common interests. I don't appreciate you randomly insulting me because of a debate in which we disagreed in another thread.
So please, just refrain from doing these things again. It really doesn't add anything positive to the community and all it does is spread negativity. Personally, I don't want that shit and I say you are better off without it, too.
As far as spending money on classes. Maybe I am a yuppie. I make top dollar at my work. I don't give a fuck what you label me. I just figured that when shit goes down, I want have drilled into my brain what to do. And I REALLY dont want to be the guy who's girl just stands there like a deer in headlights waiting to get taken out or kidnapped. My worst nightmare was some shit happening and losing her because she didn't know what to do. So we invested the time (and yes, some money over a couple years) to actually train. Then took that training home and practiced together so it wasn't just a one time thing. Now I am confident that she has my back and I have hers, and that she can hold her own if necessary.
Taking defensive shooting classes like advanced defensive pistol courses, going through the simulator (the same one they train FBI and cops with), advanced defensive rifle courses, etc., is highly valuable. I am glad I did it. It was stressful as fuck as the time especially for my girl, getting yelled at from one side and needing to hit targets downrange... but so worth it and it was fun. I've also trained with Michael Janich in Counter and Martial Blade Concepts, done his camp out in Colorado back in the day. Self defense has been a hobby of mine for a long time.
Oh and one note: I am not sure how effective a 45 acp will be for crowd control. Personally I'd say you'd be better off with high capacity pepper spray/gel, and/or a high capacity 9mm or a 5.7 if you're a fan.
