How about this one?WTF?
That looks like tactical response, either fighting pistol or advanced fighting pistol.How about this one?
This one isn't too safe either.
Handicapable Man Almost Shoots Classmate -
In a video that has been making the rounds on Facebook, a man in a wheelchair appears to be attending a class where the shooters are practicing a drill where they shoot as they are approaching the target. While normally I would watch the video and move on with my life, the handicapped shooter...www.thefirearmblog.com
The top one is, and I'm almost positive the bottom one is as well.That looks like tactical response, either fighting pistol or advanced fighting pistol.

So do you believe it is safe or unsafe to put a photographer down range during live fire? Or have a guy in a wheelchair firing from well behind the line of other shooters while being bounced around?I think those two classes are the best live fire classes I have taken. I know that a lot of folks crap all over Tactical Response, but that is a heck of a well put together class.
I think both are worth the risk.So do you believe it is safe or unsafe to put a photographer down range during live fire? Or have a guy in a wheelchair firing from well behind the line of other shooters while being bounced around?
A photo op is worth the risk? Other than a "cool" photo, what gain is there to have a photographer standing down range on a hot range? And even if there is a valid reason, they do have something called remote cameras.I think both are worth the risk.
These are not casual actions, but intentional and with reasonable.

As for the wheelchair, easily done in a safe manner. Keep him with the line or have him run the drill without the others. Don't start pushing and bouncing him all over when the others are well in front of him.
I'm not denigrating their training, I haven't attended it. But their safety protocols do seem to be a bit lacking.
Can't disagree. I saw a video of Clint Smith talking about wearing body armor when he takes students through a shoot house, paraphrasing he said he wears it not because he thinks a student will shoot him, but **** happens.The free marketing is worth it to the company and the edu-trainment is worth it to at least some of the customers, as these discussions often show. They will mistakenly believe this has better prepared them to shoot with "innocents" downrange or shown them something about their abilities that could not have been produced in a safer manner...similar to how the vast majority of professional gun-toters train.
If you're in a GOOD, well-run shoothouse, all students and instructors should be wearing at least a front plate and a ballistic helmet.Can't disagree.

And I'm not sure that the photographer was to prepare the students to shoot with "innocents" down range, from what I've heard they sell the photos in the gift shop.
No idea if Smith runs his shoot house the same way, iirc he was using it as an example of safety precautions because accidents happen.If you're in a GOOD, well-run shoothouse, all students and instructors should be wearing at least a front plate and a ballistic helmet.

They rent the facilities out to MANY different high-quality instructors. Every one in the shoot-house is kitted up appropriately for that type of gig. Be they LEO or regular people.
Front, rear, helmet, eyes, ears, TQ, trauma kit. No less than that.If you're in a GOOD, well-run shoothouse, all students and instructors should be wearing at least a front plate and a ballistic helmet.

Meh.. that's nothing...
Wow, this is probably the craziest thing i've seen to date. Anyone in the LE community able to verify if this legit training on any level?
The jawdropping footage shows the unnamed training officer walk randomly in front of cops who are firing off rounds on a gun range at the Superior School in Parana, south Brazil. Officials have said the instructor could face disciplinary action after apparently going against training rules, but refuse to confirm whether the rounds were live or dummy.
