Perhaps one day I will have enough "skills" to take a class from Dave, but I don't think that will be for a couple of years...
Amen!
My biggest takeaway from SDave's class was related to mindset. Some notable points:
- When you pick up a weapon, it had better be ready - mag in, round chambered, optic switched on, lense caps open, BUIS ready for immediate use, "positive control over the weapon."
- The world is not a cold range - deal with it.
- What weapons do you have at your disposal (not just firearms), and how well can you transition between them as necessary?
- If your long gun is dry, and you're not in the process of making it ready, you'd better have a "blaster" in your hand.
In short, SDave believes that when you go armed, don't be half-a$$ed about it. Be ready to "get it on." He most definitely has a "meat eater" attitude, and gently encourages his students to adopt the same.
(Note to emphasize that the above is not meant to imply that SDave encouraged an "in-your-face, I have a weapon and I'll use it" attitude. It was more "if you carry a weapon, then make it physically ready, and make yourself mentally ready.")
I think he mentioned that in our class "some AHOLE with an AK scratched my truck."
We had a couple people get within 10ft of the F150 and thought he was going to start shooting. Since none of us really knew the guy, we kind of thought he was joking (as it is just an older F150), but quickly learned he was not.
