Several friends have inquired about where they can obtain quality firearms training locally. The Pittsburgh
region is blessed with two organizations that conduct top shelf training: DTI and Fire Institute. These are nationally
recognized instructors. You can train with them locally, acquire life saving skills and save yourself a lot of
money as compared to traveling to a distant academy. Firearms training from DTI and Fire Institute is professional,
challenging and fun. There is plenty of positive reinforcement from enthusiastic instructors. You will learn
skills that have saved the lives of many citizens including police and soldiers. If you have never participated in this
type of training and you think that you know how to shoot because of your police or military training or testosterone level
or NRA training you are in for a surprise. Students come away from these classes with a totally new appreciation
and feeling of pride and accomplishment. I have trained alongside battle hardened Marines just back from the box who quipped
that the Army and Marines need to get up to speed and adopt this type of training. DTI is headed up
by nationally recognized instructor John Farnam. Put simply, John Farnam and his team of able co-instructors teach
you how to survive a hostile social encounter. Vicki Farnam's 'Women's Defensive Handgun' is ladies only and
is slow paced to introduce women to defensive handgun usage the right way. Doc Gunn's Tac-Med 'Tactical Treatment
of Gunshot Wounds' is highly recommend. If you are going to be around guns, as a first responder or firearms instructor,
you had better know how to save lives with this training. http://defense-training.comhttp://defense-training.com/sched/schedform.htmlFire Institute is headed up by Gunsite trained Pittsburgh lawyer Pete Georgiades with a very capable
staff of volunteer instructors. They teach classes and bring in nationally recognized top notch visiting instructors. This
year they will bring in Giles Stock, Randy Cain and Steve Tarani or Ben Salas. www.fireinstitute.org click on 'course schedule'
