Just a question to those that've gone through the licensing process-
How much of the class is focused on handling these high tension settings that are being talked about? It's more than just a 'here are the laws, don't screw things up' and then 'here's how you properly handle your firearm, hit this target for me' type of thing, right? I haven't really heard much about the class but am interested
The class required by MO law covers MO law on when/where you can carry, when the use of force in self-defense is justified, etc., as well as a safe handling and marksmanship portion. There are "minimum legal" classes available for about $75. The type of people who take this class are people uninterested in guns or self-defense who got scared enough to take action, but are unlikely to ever carry the gun.
Most classes cost around $100-120 and cover more material, including how to handle high tension situations. My instructor said "if you have time to think about whether shooting someone is justified, it probably isn't." A good instructor will include instruction on what happens to the human body and mind in a life-or-death situation, and how to handle that, as well as a discussion on mindset. Your mindset determines how you will react - if you've already made up your mind that your life is valuable and worth protecting, and you will kill anyone who tries to kill you, and you deal with the emotions that come with that before the event happens, you're more likely to act without hesitation when the time comes.
This is instruction that might potentially save your life. Don't skimp the $20, and don't limit yourself geographically - there are trainers in Rolla, there are world-class instructors in Columbia, Springfield, and St. Louis.
The bill (HB 668) is now entering the senate, which will be tougher than it's journey through the house. Please call, write and email your senators and ask them to support HB 668 without any additional amendments. Make sure to let them know that you are a constituent, the reasons that you support the bill, and clearly state at the end of your letter that you ask them to support HB 668. They consider one person taking the time to write to represent 25-50 of their constituents so this does have an effect. Be polite and respectful and they'll take you seriously. If you want something, you have to let them know.

We ave been asked to do a private group class on Friday, May 15th at Cabelas in KCKs.
The class will run from 8 am to 4:30 pm, and will cover the Ks and Mo requirements for a certified training class.
Cost of the class is $75, which includes all raneg fees, gun use and ammo if needed, training manual and certificate. If we fill the class we will lower the cost accordingly.
I have 10 spots open in the class. So if you need a weekday class--this is it.
