22 years as a cop in the Daytona Beach area, SWAT Assignments, FBI / DEA Task Forces on violent crimes and drugs, Special Investigations Unit, Hostage Negotiator, 3 years of Dignitary Protection in Washington DC for Legislative Hearings on Terrorism, extensive travel for studies of Active Shooter Investigations and studies in human behavior, I’ve picked up some things along the way……….

T4Tactics, LLC located in Lynchburg, VA and offers firearm safety classes, concealed carry permit training for the VA permit and the Multi-State Concealed Permit.

It will be a long hard battle with many democratic controlled states resisting. I hope it goes through but the outcome is grim. Food for thought - it would be a very wise move to get your own states concealed permit BEFORE this occurs. Laws, training and requirements will change. One of the reasons Utah’s non-resident concealed permit (aka the MULTI-STATE CONCEALE
