Yesterday, I attended a free Wisconsin Concealed Carry basic course presented by Mr. Dominic Ferraro of the Advanced Protection Group http://www.apgwi.com/. This is an eight-hour class that met the earlier requirements for the Wisconsin CCW license, before the training rules were restored to what our legislature intended.
I was very impressed by the presentation and breadth of coverage. Mr. Ferraro is a police officer and has been doing this kind of training for other states for quite a while.
I would recommend APG courses for anyone considering a Wisconsin CCW license. Even though our state law allows issuance of a license with any certification of gun safety or hunter training, I feel it is critical that anyone who wants to be armed in public know the law and the practical aspects of concealed carry and also be aware of the possible consequences and the responsibilities of anyone who carries a weapon for self-defense.
Know your gun, train, train, train, and know yourself. Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you as a matter of course.
Remember the Boy Scout motto, and be prepared. Be a sheepdog, not a sheep.
