In my experience of CCW classes and range day.
You must bring factory ammo, and a gun. Does not have to be the gun you plan to carry, but should at least be one that you own. (Many folks do not take their carry gun for the simple fact they are small, hard to handle and hurt after firing 50 rounds of factory ammo through it). My carry gun is a medium framed .357 MAG, 6 shot, 2 1/2" barrel, stainless. Self defense ammo is the "court room standard" Federal self defense factory loads. Glaser "blue" safety slugs when in the house (38 +P instead of the .357). Three snake shots, three full power Federal hunting magnum loads when in the woods, on the lake, or the back 40.
You will receive 8 hours of classroom training.
You will receive enough range training to become range safe. (As needed)
You will fire 50 rounds of factory ammo from various points, target arrays, firing positions and ranges.

In any and all weapon training the very first thing you do is make a bold statement to the audience, never accept a clear gun until you clear it. Then the first thing is to *properly* clear your weapon.
Glocks are finicky! *BUT* after the magazine has been removed, the slide *MUST* be raked in order to expose the *CHAMBER*, once the chamber is clear *THEN* the weapon is clear. Yes you have to pull the trigger on issue Glocks in order to disassemble. *BUT* only *AFTER* the slide has been raked, and the chamber cleared and the slide is released is this accomplished.
WHY?
Because when you load a Glock, you insert Magazine, rake the slide to the rear, and release, this will place a round in the chamber, then you play with that unique Glock safety. Which by the way, is on the trigger.
Reads to me as a terrible dereliction of duty and improper clearing procedures.
Excellent find there, B.
