I'm not signing up for this one, but probably for the one in August/Sept. Do we still need to bring a light jacket. I'm sure it's hot down there in August.

The jacket is required for the "drawing from concealment" drill....so yes, its still required!

10-4, that's what I figured. Just be warned I turn into a diva when I get hot. Hopefully you've got some Snickers on hand.
OK, lame, I know.

Good deal. Talked my SO into taking the class with me so we'll register for either August or September shortly.

You should be fairly well familiar with your semi-auto handgun. You should have a good, basic understanding of the fundamentals of shooting and firearms safety.....
This is not a basic "teach you how to stand, hold your gun, align your sights, etc" class. We do make some evaluations and minor tweaks in student's fundamentals if we see something that could be done better/safer.
Let me know if you have additional questions.
