Some of the topics covered:

Negative Outcomes -  Social Space Gunfighting Class -  Ohio Police Carbine Qual and more..

We're excited to have Kirk Clark on for a second time.  We asked Kirk what he considers the shooting skill priorities for the carrying citizen.  As expected, his answers were insightful and slightly different than one might assume.  You'll get a lot out of this discussion.  

Kirk is one of the most accomplished shooters in the open enrollment training circuit.  Winning every high-level patch, pin, TacCon championship, and aspiring designation to place a goal on.  One of the most coveted: 4 Perfect 125 scores at the Rogers Shooting School Test from concealment -  (Bill Rogers himself has 4 125s).
