After four decades of handgun and rifle training, I was encouraged to share my experiences and what I had learned about defensive tactics. In Part I, I have critiqued various classes and the focal points of each. Through my experiences at 110 classes with 50 AARs plus supportive documents from 20 different instructors, I have learned about pistol shooting skills, rifle shooting and the integration of both. In Part II, I have included sections on the tactical treatment of gunshot wounds, tips on carrying concealed, and other skills I have learned during those classes.
