JLPFI OCTOBER HIGHLIGHTS AND UPDATES
John Lewis • Nov 02, 2019
The Range - A safe haven for us to train!
JLPFI wishes to thank all October participants of our professional training program. October was a great month of interaction with initial concealed weapons applicants and their eagerness to learn mindset and muscle memory. Each new applicant went the distance with JLPFI to adopt a "No Fear" mindset and utilized the skills taught to connect safe and accurate delivery on targets! A big shout out of thanks to those who completed the 4 hour concealed weapons renewal course as many were encouraged to participate using their everyday carry weapon and draw from the holster! JLPFI incorporates the safest possible training environment with small class sizes to maximize each renewal clients experience of drawing from the holster, engaging multiple targets, movement and reviewing malfunction drills.
This picture was taken at JLPFI's home range: Sun Mountain Gun Club. JLPFI would like to thank the great staff (Tina, Matt and Brenton Mitchell) for all of the support to JLPFI over the years. There will be some changes ahead at Sun Mountain Gun Club and JLPFI hopes to continue to utilize this beautiful facility for years to come.
Don't forget to book your next course with JLPFI soon as November is shaping up to be a very busy month!
Call, text or email John Lewis for your personal reservation. (559) 349-3833 or book online at www.jlpfi.com.
JLPFI had documented several new laws that recently passed with Governor Gavin Newsom's signature in October. Although there were over 15 anti-gun bills signed, here is a summary of what you need to know:
AB12 -
Extends the duration of California's "gun violence restraining order" law from one year to a period of up to 5 years. Meaning a person could be prohibited from owning and possessing firearms for five years at a time without ever being adjudicated as dangerously mentally ill or convicted of a crime.
AB61 - Expands the list of those eligible to file "gun violence restraining orders" beyond the currently authorized petitioners. which included immediate family members and law enforcement. The new list is expanded to employers, coworkers and employees of secondary or post secondary school that the person has attended in the last 6 months. GVRO's can remove a persons Second Amendment rights, not based on criminal convictions or mental health adjudications, but based on third party allegations, often without due process until weeks after a person's rights have been suspended.
AB1297 - Removes the maximum fee a local authority can charge on the concealed weapons carry permit application.
AB1669 - Raises the fees paid by consumers when purchasing firearms.
This legislation appears nothing more than an effort to put more cost constraints on gun owners to foot the bill for the massive cost pressures the legislature has put on the California Department of Justice in recent years including ammunition background checks and long gun registration.
SB172 - Expands California existing storage laws and includes harsh penalties, such as a 10 year ban on firearm ownership.
JLPFI adamantly opposes these red flag laws and reminds each of you to remain vigilant in our fight to maintain our 2nd Amendment freedoms here in California! Each one of the above laws only penalizes us, the law abiding citizen, and creates a scare tactic of firearms ownership and use that we must not give into! Please join the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) and donate $ to fight for our rights in Sacramento.
Training Tips from JLPFI
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Here is a great captured moment of success from the range!
The mission is clear:
Always abide by the safe handling rules of your firearm.
Establish the goal of each fundamental.
Rehearse dry fire practice before live fire.
Add distance, movement and even an elevated heart rate.
Limit your range time to meeting the objective you are there for.
Make another appointment with JLPFI to keep you challenged.
Train, Train and Train some more! Be Safe, Prepared and Ready.
JLPFI often experiences clients that struggle with grip strength and grip slippage. The best grip is what works for YOU!
Here are a few suggestions to help:
Purchase a grip strengthener such as the ProHands Gripmaster or use a hand ball or racquetball to compress daily.
Another option for a better grip on your revolver or semi-auto handgun is to purchase an aftermarket grip. Hogue Grips makes an excellent selection of rubber and G10 material grips for most handguns that will make an exceptional difference in your control of the firearm.
Customizing is a third great option if you have a polymer frame weapon such as a Glock, Smith and Wesson Shield, Kahr or even a Heckler & Koch firearm. This process is called
Stippling. Certain custom shops will modify the texture of your grip to an enhanced texture for the best possible grip on your firearm.
