LMS 2008 Arizona Classes Scheduled
LMS Defense has some exciting classes coming to Arizona the first half of 2008. I purposely scheduled these classes so that we all could take advantage of the cooler weather and not be outside when it is 117 degrees.

February 9-10 Integrated Combat (Force on Force) Basic Course, Casa Grande, AZ
The real reason most of us train is to teach ourselves to gunfight.  Your brain does not know the difference between lessons learned in a real gunfight and lessons learned under stress in a force-on-force situational training session.  Our Force-on-Force course is where you put it all together: stress management, critical thinking, combative skills, shooting and communications.  This course will give you the chance to be in numerous fights for your life, and gain the experience, which comes with each, in a safe environment.  This course will make you develop the mental skills needed to be the Last Man Standing.
Course fees include UTM weapon rental and ammunition costs.

The LMS Defense's Carbine I course will teach marksmanship fundamentals, combat stress management, rifle zero, rifle manipulation, movement, use of cover, fighting from unusual positions, ground gun fighting, an introduction to team tactics, gear selection and ongoing self-training tools.

April 5-6, Carbine II, Casa Grande, AZ
If you intend to be the Last Man Standing in the fight of your life, you must teach yourself to effectively deal with threats throughout the engagement window of the weapons system.  This means being able to deliver accurate fire out 400 yards.  LMS Defense's Carbine II course will reinforce marksmanship fundamentals, combat stress management, rifle zero, rifle manipulation, movement, use of cover, fighting from unusual positions, accurate fire from between 25 and 400 yards, team tactics and ongoing self-training tools.

April 16-19, Armed Operator Medical, Casa Grande, AZ
Sometimes being the Last Man Standing brings with it the responsibility to treat the wounded or injured.  Our Armed Operator Medical Course will equip you with the skills and self-training tools needed to deal with life threatening injuries in the aftermath of a traumatic event.  You will also learn skills and you can use in the event of more mundane injuries involving your family and friends.  You will practice these skills in both a quiet clinical environment and the live fire range.
This course is taught in cooperation with our medical training partner, Global Operational Resources Group Inc, the world’s leader in austere medical training and support.  We encourage you to visit them at www.gorgrp.com

Wow...familiar folks already!

Some of you I may know from AZ Shooting, Lightfigher, LMS Forum, yada, yada, yada... I've been in the tactical firearms training industry for a few years now and, well, I enjoy it. We use Airsoft weapons for some of the Force-on-Force training and find it very beneficial.

I spent 4 years in the 82nd Airborne Div, and another 7 years in the US Army Reserves. I am a Univ. of Arizona graduate... I like dogs, not cats... prefer red meat to tofu.

Nice being here.

What are you guys seeing for 1,000 rds of Brass Case, Boxer Primed, 55 grain FMJ? I have seen, as of last week... from Midway, $450 for remanufactured Black Hills. Amazing...

I will be using my Colt 9mm for training classes...or my Uzi...

XD's and M&P's may have the price points...meaning that they are affordable...Glock's may rule... but there is a metric ass ton of M92's out there. If you can afford it, heck get them all! Train and practice on all of them.

People ask me, LMS, all the time, "what pistol should I get"... I tell them to get the one they are going to be comfortable with, that is robust design with a proven track record of reliability. When ballistics and stopping power enter the conversation, I remind them that if you shoot something in the face, it usually stops doing what it was doing.
