GunMag Warehouse is now expanding in just that direction with their new skills development opportunity. With locations in Texas and Ohio, classes are rolling out immediately, and plan to extend beyond just range skills, extending into the complexities around firearms ownership and proficiency. Read the Full Press Release Below GunMag Warehouse Launches Training Division Carrying a gun is (or should be) a gestalt of conditions, not just a mastery of marksmanship. It's as much about being a good human being, controlling emotions, and practicing compassion as it is honing weapon manipulation skills and practicing situational awareness. A responsible armed citizen doesn't need to be a Tier One Ninja, but does need to be ready for the hard part.

GMT will be the instructional arm of GMW. It will be led by Daniel Shaw, formerly of Shaw Strategies and the USMC. Additional cadre members will be announced in coming months. GMT's mission will be to prepare those who carry a gun for such difficulties, and to promote a well-trained, reasoned, and humanistic armed citizenry. Photo Courtesy of GunMag Training Because of GMT's atypical approach, students will gain more than a high level of technical proficiency. GunMag Training courses will address such things as: Life safety as it relates to the armed citizen and the use of force Contextual safety beyond the traditional four rules Effective weapon handling Mental and emotional preparation prior to an Event Pragmatic expectation of what happens after an Event Awareness of positional and locational engagement Practical understanding of the spherical environment Practical understanding of the public environment Practicable marksmanship on demand not command Shaw, a retired Marine infantry leader and combat veteran, will pull from his extensive military career and a lifetime of experience to combine tactical acumen with the moral ethos appropriate to carrying a firearm.

Worth area and others in Ohio (including Shaw's seventh year teaching at the Ohio Tactical Officers Association Training Conference). Additional classes and locations will be announced soon.
