Just curious as to the level of training people have had.

For me I have taken the following courses:

Basic Handgun Safety - 4 hours
Defensive Handgun 1 - 8 hours
Glock Defensive Handgun (Same as Defensive Handgun 2 but only Glocks are allowed in class) - 16 hours
Defensive Shotgun - 8 hours

I am signed up for two more classes this summer from a different school.

Defensive Handgun 1 - 16 hours
Tactical Handgun 1 - 16 hours

USAF Security Police,Air Base defense training,several civilian LE departments with monthly training,most LE training had to do with mainly laws and any changes plus refresher courses on vehicle stop procedure ,clearing buildings,and armed robbery response.We only qualified semi annually for firearms but gun range was open 1 day a month for practice and we got 100 rounds furnished.Also CCW course in Texas,and reading posts on DC.I also shoot 300 to 500 rounds of ammo a week between 22,9mm,45,40

(2) 4 hour sessions in use of force judgment training trailer*
(2) 8 hour classes with simunitions
(1) 7 day Executive Protection training program
(1) 8 hour basic carry class
(1) 8 hour shotgun class

(a dozen or so) specialized training sessions for work.

* 4 hours personally... 3 days of training as a group.

Seem like a lot? It's not. I'm comfortable knowing how little I know.

I think this is great question...but not so much how much training someone has...but how much does one spend maintaining their skills. I harbor the belief that once someone gets their CCW...they never practice again, or at best, once or twice a year.
