P.S. --- WHAT ONE STUDENT SAID: “John teaches a great class. His emphasis on how to stay out of trouble, the stealth existence, de-escalate, and interact with the authorities is top notch. Further, he teaches the class from the perspective of a private citizen, not an LEO, which is quite different. Anyone who carries CCW will benefit from taking a class from John. I consider him one of my three mentors in this business.”

John Farnam is one of the best. I took his course some years back and it was worth every penny. Everyone who carries should take such a course ,you'll learn how little you know . You'll be much more likely to survive !!

John Farnam is one of the clearest thinking firearms instructors conducting
the "real deal" training today. You finish a Farnam course NOT just awed by the instructor, but mostly awed by how much you learned. That is why I posted this.

Dr. Bruce, although Mr. Farnam gets very high marks from everyone I've heard mention him, it's considered better form at TFL to advertise a product for sale in the For Sale forum.

Dear Don,

I appreciate the feedback. I wasn't aware as I am new to this Forum.
I will do so in the future.
Hope no offense was taken.

Most sincerely,

Bruce Eimer
