I read the books. The episode was less bloody then I expected.

Probably limp wristing. My uncle had that problem with his in one of my CCW classes. I corrected it and mocked him for it. I think the walther's are prone to it due to being a straight blow back.

Maybe, if I'm back from the cabin at a reasonable time Sunday.

Actually, I think the bigger thing is he'll probably retire soon. He's been threatening it at least since the last class I took from him 7 years ago. Hmm. Maybe I'll change my plans and do this class after all.

Didn't realize he wasn't in Marietta anymore.

He's on my list as well. As is another class with Ken, Vickers, Lamb, Gunsite, TDI, etc...

Christ, I reread that and that post sure sounds like a fanboy. My intent was to educate that there is more to training out there than then latest thing you've heard of on facebook.

Not to be argumentative, but he more than meets your requirements. He's been one of the top names in firearms training for a good 35+ years. I'm actually surprised that you've never heard of him. In terms of having BTDT, Ken was Vietnam era SF. Co-Founded IPSC & IDPA. He was one of part of the original cadre of instructors at Gunsite under Jeff Cooper (you've heard of him, right?). Still an active LE SWAT officer. He's been contracted to instruct for Delta, various SF groups, German Anti-Terror Units, etc.. I'd venture to guess he's probably taught more US spec ops forces than any other single trainer out there (excepting guys like Vickers or Lamb that were trainers in high speed units).

He is. While he's very much an old school kind of guy (reminds me of my 83 year old grumpy ass kung fu teacher), he still keeps up with the latest/greatest and modifies his approach accordingly.

Hack does a great class. I don't know what's better, the gun instruction, or the new colorful phrases you'll learn from him. I might sign up for that class. It's been too long since I've done any.

Yes, but you'll need to find one that has bottom metal for that built in. Any of the chassis systems should get you there, Accuracy International ACIS, XLR, Mcree etc.. If you want more of a stock based thing, look at the Manners stock with mini chassis. All the ones I just mentioned all use AI mags. HS Precision has their own mag system thats available in ready to go stocks.

I think we only have an AK pistol in the shop, besides the two SBR AK's we picked up for full auto conversions. If anything reasonably priced comes in I'll shoot you a PM.

I highly recommend checking buckeyefirearms.org at least semi-annually to keep track of what is going on. They've only changed the law pushing a half dozen times since it's been enacted. Too many folks walk around carrying guns while ignorant of what the current law is.

OP & anyone confused on recent law changes, I always suggest reading the law. In this case ORC 2923.16 I've gone to the liberty of highlighting salient sections for you. © No person shall knowingly transport or have a firearm in a motor vehicle, unless the person may lawfully possess that firearm under applicable law of this state or the United States, the firearm is unloaded, and the firearm is carried in one of the following ways: (1) In a closed package, box, or case; (2) In a compartment that can be reached only by leaving the vehicle; (3) In plain sight and secured in a rack or holder made for the purpose; (4) If the firearm is at least twenty-four inches in overall length as measured from the muzzle to the part of the stock furthest from the muzzle and if the barrel is at least eighteen inches in length, either in plain sight with the action open or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or which cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight. a) "Unloaded" means , with respect to a firearm other than a firearm described in division (K)(6) of this section, that no ammunition is in the firearm in question, no magazine or speed loader containing ammunition is inserted into the firearm in question , and one of the following applies: (i) There is no ammunition in a magazine or speed loader that is in the vehicle in question and that may be used with the firearm in question. (ii) Any magazine or speed loader that contains ammunition and that may be used with the firearm in question is stored in a compartment within the vehicle in question that cannot be accessed without leaving the vehicle or is stored in a container that provides complete and separate enclosure. (b) For the purposes of division (K)(5)(a)(ii) of this section, a "container that provides complete and separate enclosure" includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: (i) A package, box, or case with multiple compartments, as long as the loaded magazine or speed loader and the firearm in question either are in separate compartments within the package, box, or case, or, if they are in the same compartment, the magazine or speed loader is contained within a separate enclosure in that compartment that does not contain the firearm and that closes using a snap, button, buckle, zipper, hook and loop closing mechanism, or other fastener that must be opened to access the contents or the firearm is contained within a separate enclosure of that nature in that compartment that does not contain the magazine or speed loader; (ii) A pocket or other enclosure on the person of the person in question that closes using a snap, button, buckle, zipper, hook and loop closing mechanism, or other fastener that must be opened to access the contents. © For the purposes of divisions (K)(5)(a) and (b) of this section, ammunition held in stripper-clips or in en-bloc clips is not considered ammunition that is loaded into a magazine or speed loader. (6) "Unloaded" means, with respect to a firearm employing a percussion cap, flintlock, or other obsolete ignition system, when the weapon is uncapped or when the priming charge is removed from the pan. (7) "Commercial motor vehicle" has the same meaning as in division (A) of section 4506.25 of the Revised Code. (8) "Motor carrier enforcement unit" means the motor carrier enforcement unit in the department of public safety, division of state highway patrol, that is created by section 5503.34 of the Revised Code. (L) Divisions (K)(5)(a) and (b) of this section do not affect the authority of a person who is carrying a valid concealed handgun license to have one or more magazines or speed loaders containing ammunition anywhere in a vehicle, without being transported as described in those divisions, as long as no ammunition is in a firearm, other than a handgun, in the vehicle other than as permitted under any other provision of this chapter. A person who is carrying a valid concealed handgun license may have one or more magazines or speed loaders containing ammunition anywhere in a vehicle without further restriction, as long as no ammunition is in a firearm, other than a handgun, in the vehicle other than as permitted under any provision of this chapter.

I had a type 3 AC separation, borderline type 4. Physical therapy will be fine, but you'll need to really stay on top of the PT exercises in some form or another forever to keep yourself pain free. After a few months of PT, you'll be fine to ride. I think I was out from like the beginning/middle of July to early Sept. In terms of exercise, a bunch of stuff like dips will be off the table forever. Also, you may have to give up benchpress. As far as martial arts goes, wait a few months after you are done with PT before you do any heavy striking or really exert the shoulder. You'll probably want to avoid any throws or certain joint locks in the bjj for at least a year. I practice shuai chiao (please don't associate me with those SC guys in cbus), and still almost 6 years later I'm pretty particular on how I get thrown or who throws me. Even being careful I've managed to minorly re-injure it. If any of your styles do any strength exercises similar to snake turns over (arm grabs) or muscle restructure (muscle/tendon change set), carefully start in on those after you are done with PT, it'll make a world of difference.
