For those of you in the DC area, the most excellent John Murphy of FPF Training will be running his Minuteman Rifle Course on 4-5 April.

Equipment Requirements: A military style rifle and a center fire handgun. 600 rounds of rifle ammunition, 25 rounds of handgun ammunition. wrap-around eye protection, ear protection, a baseball style hat, 3 spare magazines, a rifle magazine pouch and a QUALITY strong side holster. Knee pads are HIGHLY recommended.
Curriculum: Nomenclature, assembly and disassembly. Rifle ballistics and realities. Care and maintenance. Fundamentals of marksmanship. Zeroing. Presentation drills. Manipulation drills. Malfunction drills. Transition Drills. Field firing techniques. Scenario based drills and exercises.

I'll be there, using my AK, a.k.a. Vlad The Impaler.

John runs a good show, and I'm looking forward to it. If you have the time, the $$$ and the gun, you might see if there are slots left.

Dang, I would love to bring my Mini-14 or AR-15, but as it happens it is a drill weekend...

Written in good humor.

The post reminds me of a line from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas":

Raoul Duke: We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Part of me really wants to take this course and bring my PS90 instead of my M4 just to see what kind of comments I could get out of John. Just not sure I can swing the ammo cost this time around for 5.7 or 5.56.

I've taken DHS-1 as well, and it was great.
