Those classes may be targeted for security training and/or improving handgun/tactical skills, but don't denigrate the potential value to yourself as a CHL. The more training you have, the better your overall skills and judgment will be. Security-directed training may not be specifically CHL-oriented, but I have to believe it would definitely give you some good decision making training.AlexKilpatrick wrote: I know there are some "tactical" handgun classes, but those seem to be more targeted at personal security guys.
I would have to think that CHL-oriented scenario training would be a bit more difficult to design. Because no matter how many scenarios they would try to come up with, even if you spent a month in training, any real-life situation you are likely to encounter would probably have a better than average chance of not having been covered in the training. There are going to be almost as many potential self defense scenarios as there are Bad Guys. It can develop gradually, or it can happen suddenly with little to no warning. It could be one guy or a dozen. It could be.... you get the idea.
I'm not trying to poo-poo your idea for CHL-oriented training. And there may well be some form of classes out there. But until you find them, I would encourage researching, reading, educating yourself, and generally trying to visualize various possible scenarios. I know I've found some eye-openers on this forum recently that have really expanded my thinking and mental preparations. No, I don't remember what subforum they were in (probably the Never Again one, but I really couldn't say), or even what the initial topic was that peaked my interest. But I have given up most of my other (non-gun related) internet browsing in lieu of digging thru this forum's many posts and great information. There's a lot of good ideas and thought-provocation here.
