The kind words are appreciated. It certainly feels much better to be recognized for being good than for being bad. In my first few months here, I came off as a jerk and an idiot. It was only because of the considerable patience of Joel, Andrew and the other mods as well as the wave of criticism I received for some of my posts that I was able to step back and reconsider my opinions, attitudes and how I present them. People don't change overnight, but they certainly can change over time; I'm proof of that and happy to still be around.

Well my rank is CPL which stands for Corporal- E4 and my base was Quantico Sentry, Virginia and served in Afgan. You see the mind of a killer is complex and different then yours, Have you ever killed someone? Coming from someone who HAS killed people and the effect it has on your mind is hard to imagine. Someone going into target wanting to kill, will feel power, like no one can touch him and its a huge high for him to kill people and the last Fu**in thing he's going to expect is someone shooting back at him, because that would bring down his high of power. I hope you all understand that and please dont hate me for my words be a man and learn that wanting people banned for making a opinion different than yours, shows your threated by me in some odd way.

PS: If you cant handle my words and want me banned, how are you going to handle some bad guys bullets?

Apples and oranges.

Free advice: when the guy who pays the rent tells you to cool it, cool it.

Cool it.

Hey Joel I have a question for you? Why is your course $175, I was thinking of taking it but my wallet says to go with a $125 class, yours is the highest out there ive seen. You you explain that for me, Thanks

EZ don't forget your tactical pants with the Kevlar crotch.

Only looking at what <troll> says makes firearm owners look bad. But if one actually looks at what many firearms owners and permit holders are saying about claims made by <troll> then it becomes obvious that we are a good group of people who are safe and responsible. Oh and we may be direct and rough with the words sometimes but we really do try to bring people into the safe and responsible area.

Remember EZ, Kevlar is 1337 tacti-cool.

I love how you make yourself look bad by trying to be funny. Grow up

Joel's is better.

Plenty of others are good.

edit: post completely changed

I just got off the phone with Joel.

He said he would be happy to explain it to you. But it boils down to what SethB said.

Look, since you obviously want to tick me off enough to get yourself locked out, you can go ahead and do it -- just pick another way; inquiries as to my prices don't bother me at all.

The reason I charge $175 is that I'm worth it. I think so; the market agrees. You can find many good classes for less -- some for far less -- and many inadequate classes for less, as well, as I'm the most expensive instructor in the state. I'm quite literally the worst choice for people who either choose to or have to think with their wallet.

I am sorry but if you look at the prices for a permit class you will see Bills is asking $150 but you have to take the intro to handguns pre req which is $94 so using my math skills that put the price at over $244 which is what i paid to sit in a class with 10 other peeps, Admittably the instructor was very good. But i had known i could get a smaller class size with 1 on 1 training i would have opted for that.

Well there's a lot of good ones out there but im going to go with Joe Penaz since his is 100 dollars and he seems very qualified.

That sounds like a good choice for you.
