I am curios as to the level of training that the members here have. I have been shooting for years and very serious about firearms and shooting for the last 4 years, but have never had any formal training. I have shot a handful of competitions but I don't consider that training necessarily. So a simple poll will help figure out how many of us actually have taken the time and money to seek professional training. Military experience should count here as well as LEO. I am guessing that is where the bulk of trained civilians will come from is the ex military guys and LEO.
