In today’s show David is interviewing Tom Givens of Rangemaster. Before coming to Rangemaster full-time in 1996, Tom completed a 25-year career in law enforcement and specialized security work.
Tom has over thirty-five years experience in firearms instruction. He has trained security officers; law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal level; and foreign government agents. He is a well known professional in the firearm industry.
In this episode we discuss firearm training – including what skills the new shooter needs to focus on, handgun selection, firearm statistics, holster selection, and what the typical handgun permit student looks like demographically.
We spend a little time talking about balancing a person’s Constitutional right to own guns with the responsibility to train.
Tom is very knowledgeable, and trains constantly – which allows tonight’s show to pass on some very valuable insights into the world of defensive pistol craft.
I would invite you to visit the Rangemaster.com website to learn about their classes, as well as their Annual Tactical Conference.
It seems that Tom has semi retired and no longer teaches full time in Memphis. He still travels to teach.
And as always, please visit the Shepherd School website at www.tngun.com
The show is scheduled for Monday at 10pm central time at this link.
