I've taken the free subgun class. It's worth the trip and lodging
expenses (I drove from the SF Bay area). There is a pitch for Front
Sight offerings, as one would expect, but it's low key and the support
and student teacher ratio are excellent. They are for real, no snotty
macho BS or corner cutting. My only wish was that I'd had more time to
practice mounting the weapon to my shoulder. But that's a tiny thing.
Aside from that, they're very much in the "perfect practice makes
perfect" mold.
One other caveat: I have heard from others that Dr. Piazza is a
Scientologist, but I had a dentist once who was one, and my teeth are
still fine; he didn't try to audit my teeth, he just fixed 'em. Just
FYI.

Very near Pahrump, in fact.

Also Gatorade, snacks and sunblock. :)

There's a possibly apocryphal quote from one of the survivors of the
Warsaw ghetto who was involved in the resistance efforts there: "My
biggest regret is that we didn't have a submachine gun."

Competence at arms in an otherwise healthy psyche can only be a good
thing.
Glad you're doing something about this. Gimme a call if you want to.
