Like I always say.....talk softly and carry a pistol in your purse.

That looks like funn!

It was a blast. The media got invited to take part in a concealed live fire course this morning along with the WCSO. I hit every target except one where I was down on my belly with my left arm by my side and trying to shoot up around a corner one handed. I got a touch of Glock burn on my nose from that one

Now you may tell people that your bite is worse than your bark.

It was actually a really cool course. They were teaching us how to conceal yourself during a gunfight and shoot back and not get shot.

Hiding behind a mail box was interesting but I just kept thinking,"Don't shoot the fire hydrant cause it's gonna ricochet and kill ya."

I missed the pic of a lifetime Kurt. There is a SoWal sticker stuck to one of the deputies back tail lights. I have to find the car again. Even the po-po are down with SoWal.com

ATTENTION elgordoboy!!!

Your stalker now has firearms training.

**sunspotbaby** · 05-02-2008, 02:05 PM

A-L
Many years ago I worked as a dispatcher/jailor and one of the best training weeks was "jail school" where we learned some weapons handling, self-defense, searches and so forth...it was a lot of fun. Good for you! Is this related to a story you're on or was it a personal choice?

I see the answer to my question. I hit the reply button about an hour ago and never got finished until now. Sorry!

Very cool! Learning to shoot a handgun is on my to do list!

Think we need a Sowal girl's trip to the range!

They will be holding a course in June that allows you to apply for your concealed permit. Cost around $25 for the day course. Teaches safety, laws and live fire training. I'm going to attend if anyone would like to join me

I'm in! I don't need a permit (as I don't own a gun) just want to shoot some stuff!

**BeachSiO2** · 05-02-2008, 02:24 PM

Just what SoWal needs, Wenches with weapons. I feel another haiku coming on...

Wenches with weapons
Concealed permits for our heat

Thanks! I appreciate the sentiment, now remember you can't take firearms into BCC meetings

I don't even take my purse into those. I don't want to have to dump everything out in front of everyone at the metal detector.

I prefer cheerleader drinks, but I'll take shots if that's all you're offering.

Y'all don't want me to get this training. I'd shoot one of my students. No jury in the country would convict me, but it would cause a lot of paperwork.

We do the shooters after the shooting

Glock model 17? range gun?

I didn't know I was gonna get to play when I showed up this morning and I didn't know I had my picture taken till I started to leave the office.

Friday full of surprises.

The gun is heaver than it looks. I had problems holding it steady with one hand. Sgt.Casavant pictured with me let me use his gun and said it was a Glock 40 caliber.

I wore..........

This thread needs to be in the SoWal hall of fame- outstanding ALeonard!

**chrisv** · 05-02-2008, 10:35 PM

Oh, so now I get the story! Cool. I heard chatter about the concealment class on the radio this morning, didn't realize it was also a media event. Several deputies responded that they were attending, sounded like they were pretty excited to be going.

I'm waiting for the Tactical Home Defense course to be offered to the public, sounds like fun. The firearms training is one thing the sheriff has done for Walton County residents that has gotten very little publicity.

Did you get to go into the shooting house?
I always enjoy that. Of course the last time I was in there I shot one of the police officer silhouettes. Hey I had an excuse, she was pointing her weapon at me when I went in.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, it is fun.

al...I am proud of you. I think I would have cried like a baby.

you must be correct! BB writes all those witty little smart alecky lines on cocktail napkins!!! that's why she works such long hours!!! she needs to start a sowal wench line of napkins... boy she could fill those suckers up with some good lines from the lounge couldn't she?

**rapunzel** · 05-02-2008, 11:45 PM

I need a gun safety course.

So true and it's one of the things they are getting very right. They are offering that course this month and I am going to cover it.

I think the deputies did enjoy it and it was a good team building experience. These guys are getting double the amount of required hours for continuing training for the last few years and it's a good thing. I like the way Sgt. Casavant handles it as well. He's tough but has a great sense of humor. Two things I like in an instructor.

I get the house next time. I always think of that scene in MIB when Will Smith shoots the cardboard girl holding the advanced physics book instead of the two aliens cause she was out after midnight and up to no good
