This review is from: The Armed American's Complete Concealed Carry Guide to Effective Self-Defense (DVD)
I bought this because I am a Concealed Carry Instructor who is certified by multiple agencies. However, I am always looking for new nuggets of knowledge that I can incorporate into my training programs. It think this stream is panned out.
Nice packaging, a few spiffy animated opening and closes with a thumping soundtrack. The content? Warmed over oatmeal gleaned from several other reputable concealed carry instructors served up by an unshaven, t-shirted young man droning on for hours, lecturing in front of a plain, white background. Occasionally there is a cut away to actual shooting on the "range". Not a real range, mind you, but a sand pit in the countryside somewhere. And it is pretty much the same thing over and over. While his message is accurate, he repeats himself time and time again... and not to make a point but because he doesn't remember that he already covered the topic. His other favorite approach is to mention a subject and then say "and we'll come back to that in a minute..." which, of course he fails to do.
Do a Google search on the author and you will find that he has had somewhat checkered past within the firearms training industry and the "home remedy for carpal tunnel syndrome" business as well. On his "Concealed Carry University" website, he does not boast or claim any training or qualifications other than he wants to "serve" Americans by teaching his unique understanding of Concealed Carry. Most instructors claim all sorts of qualifications, as minute as they may be; the fact that he doesn't is a red flag to me.
Don't waste your money; there are many, many better programs out there. |
