Violent Crime Victim Taking a Lesson 1/29/11

This will be my second student in two weeks who has been victimized. I wrote a post last week about a scared shooter and you all were very helpful. But this time the case is much worse. Her boyfriend was murdered (shot) during a mugging/home invasion attempt a couple of months ago. In addition, she is bringing a number of friends along to attend the class with her. I am guessing that she is exhausted from looking over her shoulder and wants to look into carrying a weapon for relief sake. BTW, my best friend was a victim of the same crime spree - forced into his house, wife and daughter tied up, held at gunpoint while they ransacked and took his car. His event is what got me motivated to start giving lessons again in the first place. So yes, I want to make a difference in these people's lives.
Knowing this woman's situation up front will help since I will be able to gear the class towards being patient with her. Per your suggestion in my last thread, I am going to look for some blue guns but don't know just yet where to find any on short notice.
Any additional help would be great.

Check martial arts suppliers. You may even buy some through a martial arts school that teaches Krav Maga.

You deserve a pat on the back for helping the people that need it most. Being in fear of physical injury is one of the means to drain a persons life right out of them. I hope you have a big turnout and I hope the students will go out with a feeling of empowerment and confidence. Your a good man.

I had exactly the same situation 3 months ago when I taught a CCW class to some folks who had been robbed and violently beaten. They were terrified but decided to fight back. These were older folks so martial arts would be of no good. A Glock 19 will be.
