This is a very good article by Kevin Michalowski, of the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). He makes some very good points about why hands on training is needed. The Commonwealth of Virginia requires minimal training to obtain your CHP. You can watch a video or take an online course to obtain the "required" training. In my view, this is not nearly enough. As Mr. Michalowski says "There is a difference between training that is required and training that you really need".
A video cannot simulate recoil and allow you to get the feel of bringing your sights back on target. An online course cannot get you used to the weight and feel of your gun in your hand. Neither of them can correct your technique, modify your stance or warn you of bad habits in real time so that you learn to shoot comfortably and accurately - and SAFELY.
Let us give you the training you NEED, not just the training that is required.
Be Informed! Get Trained! Stay Safe!
