Review
So, I attended the seminar on the 4th.
Overall impression - worth the time and money, but no more of either than I spent.
First, apparently "mindset" means so many different things to different people that a theme should have been communicated to the presenters. Two spoke of training, a necessary component of mindset, but not, IMHO, the first thing. Another spoke of things to think of while carrying, and another of what to think of after an incident, whether brandishing or shooting or the impression of same. I'm ignoring the politician, who didn't speak of mindset, didn't speak of carry except he expects others to carry in his defense, and whose presentation was generally useless. One of the speakers was way too arrogant for my tastes, but I at least know not to sign up for classes there. The panel discussion was okay.
Perhaps we should have defined "mindset" either up front or at the start of the day. In my mind, "mindset" is not "when the time to perform arrives, the time to prepare is over" or "two shots from two yards in two seconds". To me, mindset includes the decisions that carrying a firearm increases one's responsibility to society, that one could take the life of another if necessary to protect one's own life, that one is prepared to become competent (and in my mind, "competent" is not "gunfighter level").
Pros: Extremely knowledgeable speakers, well-organized registration process, good facility
Cons: Timing, theme, duplicative material from speakers, pure lecture format
