Hi everyone,

My younger brother, an army vet, is in dire needs. His wife has frontal lobe dementia. Prayers would be great!

He asked me to share his Go fund me page.

I really appreciate your consideration.

I have been absent a lot lately, hopefully that will change soon, taking care of some medical issues, AFIB, CTO LAD, clot in LAA and to top it off Basal Cell Carcinoma on my face by my right eye, surgery on the 18th June. All in the last 6 months.

Been reading about the different practical tests citizens are required to shoot & pass to get a Kalif CcW

Some of them are harder & more rounds fired than the local law enforcement dept

Here is one ludicrous example and it’s designed so you will fail

Santa Cruz County

Course of fire - Each individual shall discharge 50 rounds a minimum of 2 times and minimally include the following: (All stages are unsupported)

Stage 1 15 yards 6 rounds in 30 seconds
-or-
5 rounds in 30 seconds

Stage 2 7 yards 14 rounds in 45 seconds (includes 2 reloads) (load 6,6 &2)
-or- for 5 shot handgun
15 rounds in 45 seconds
(load 5,5,5 for 5 shot handgun)

Stage 3 7 yards 6 rounds in 10 seconds
-or-
5 rounds in 10 seconds for 5-shot handgun

Stage 4 7 yards 12 rounds in 25 seconds including reload
(6 strong hand unsupported, reload 6 and 6 weak hand unsupported)
-or- for 5-shot handgun
10 rounds in 25 seconds
(5 strong hand unsupported, reload 5 and 5 weak hand unsupported)

Stage 5 5 yards 6 rounds (3 rounds in 4 seconds X 2 stages)
-or- for 5-shot handgun
5 rounds (3 rounds in 4 seconds, then 2 rounds in 4 seconds)

Stage 6 3 yards 6 rounds (3 rounds in 3 seconds X 2 stages)
-or- 5-shot handgun
5 rounds (3 rounds in 3 seconds, then 2 rounds in 3 seconds)

NOTE- When utilizing a 5-shot handgun, the above standards add up to 45 rounds fired. The additional 5 rounds may be inserted into the course of fire at the instructor’s discretion.

B. Scoring- The first course of 50 rounds discharged shall be considered practice. The second course of 50 rounds discharged shall be used for scoring.

a. Silhouette targets shall be used. A 5-point score shall be granted for each round discharged inside of the seven (7) ring (center mass).
b. Each individual shall qualify with a minimum of an 80% score (200 out of 250 points) on the scoring segment.
c. Each individual shall be informed by the instructor whether their score passes or fails.
