Bob Allen on Training Beyond Your Carry Permit. What and Why.

David and Mark are joined by Bob Allen, Director of Training at Royal Range USA in Nashville, Tennessee, to talk about what training the civilian should seek out beyond their Handgun Carry Permit, and why.  In this episode we talk about moving past the fundamentals, the advantages of curated one-to-one training, the practicality of Force on Force training for civilians, and some of the more common misconceptions about what training among casual gun owners and carry practitioners.

Mr. Allen is a 34-year veteran of the Nashville Police, 21-year SWAT team instructor and lead instructor of firearms and defensive tactics for Metro’s Police Academy.
