Holster course

TSE JR said:
Please let me clarify our position:

For the safety of ALL patrons, we require anyone who wishes to draw a loaded firearm from a holster to prove proficiency:

We accept training from a wide variety of sources including IDPA, IPSC, Gunsite Academy, Sig Academy, ITTA, Brinks, Securicor…. Etc…. the list is endless!

We have also been known to simply take a member on the range to let them “demonstrate” proficiency.

To ensure our own safety, we developed a “holster course” and grant certification for our members. Our course is 6 hours and covers a wide range of topics including holster selection and other things. It is really a well run course and I am very happy with the instructors we have administering it.

However, once again; if a member comes in with alternate training and can prove proficiency, then we let them carry on.

I would like to point out that I come from an Infantry background and I will state it here: Just because you say you’re proficient doesn’t make you proficient.

I don’t wish to inflame anyone, but as this is my sandbox, I think this policy is pretty sound to keep me from losing my house due to someone’s stupid bravado with a holster.

Regards,

JR

great post. I have told some LE that they need to take the Black badge course to actively participate in IPSC competitions. Some take it as an insult or a bruise to their ego, when in reality is about safety and accountability.
 
I was told I was on the list, yet I was never notified of the dates and apparently missed out. Can someone please let me know when the next class is planned for and do their best to get my name on the list??

A friend of mine did the holster course and said it was well worth it. So, I’ll probably take it in a bit.
 
I would like to add my name to the holster course. who other than the shooting edge do I have to talk to? I was in the store the other day inquiring about the course and got a blank look from the sales person.

I am sure you can take a holster course from the CSSA for PPC, from the CSSA for Canadian Defensive Pistol, from IDPA for IDPA, from IPSC, or attend Cowboy matches were holster training is given before every match via the safety meeting. I am sure several of these will be options in Manitoba.
