Instructor Mike

Just a horrible instructor, teaching his students how to clear double feed firearm malfunctions with both the left hand and right hand. I mean only a horrible instructor. Why would we need to learn this?

Many parents talk *at* their children, not *with* them. This active involvement, not just conversation, is key to effective guidance. Are you truly teaching, or just telling?

During a concealed carry renewal class, This. Ya know, I know I get people on social media who say, ‘This should’ve been done in the classroom.’ OK. We did this. But you never really know the adverse childhood experiences/adverse adulthood experiences that people bring to the range that cause them to freeze up where they need to be refreshed on what they learned in class. This is one of those moments. It turned out very well. Sometimes that fear of fi****ms is never verbally expressed in class until it gets real when you’re touching a live and loaded firearm. I don’t just kick them off the range. I love it when they come ready to learn. I hope you enjoy this.

I get people who come in with various levels of adverse childhood experiences/childhood trauma. Or maybe they’re just afraid of a gun. If I let them live in that fear, I am enabling them like everyone else has in their life. I won’t do that. I love it when I challenge people and they rise above it. They grab deep down what’s inside. And they bring it to the surface. Through the tears. Through them cursing me out. I love it all. That’s why they come back. I hear what you’re saying online. But I don’t care about that. Keep talking though.

Look, I know y’all want things to be my fault. But sometimes when a student says they’re having problems it’s them. Like you can wear what you wanna wear on your body, your clothes. But when it gets in the way, what do you want me to say?

From the bottom of my heart…

It's easy to react outwardly when you're angry, but try not to give onlookers a spectacle. Societal pressures can make us lash out. Your anger is understood, especially when provoked from the outside. Love and support are here.

I don’t care what anybody say. This funny right here. This is the stuff that I deal with. You all don’t understand it until you experience it what it’s like to teach a culture that doesn’t value education now. This is funny right here. I mean it’s not funny. But it is still funny. Let me know if you’re the young lady in this video so I can give you credit for your video. But no, I’m not taking it down because this is a lesson. And I’m gonna play this in my class.

….and another one!!!! SCRRREEAAMMMMMM!!!!!!

You’re right. I’m a horrible Fi****ms Instructor. I am perhaps the worst thing that has eve enter the fi****ms profession. Now that we’ve got that settled, turn around and operate this pistol the right way. Fck all that other s*t you talking.

Ontological respect is about acknowledging someone's inherent right to their lifestyle, separate from personal approval. It's about recognizing their existence and choices without judgment.
