LaPierre: Assam's Law Enforcement Background Irrelevant; Front Sight Video

It is fortunate but not relevant that Assam had a law enforcement background. All permit-holders undergo training, testing and background checks.

LaPierre is right.  Sure, in Assam's individual case she probably drew on her LEO background (she ceased being an LEO in 1999), but there are plenty of permit-holders that train as intensively or perhaps more intensively than police or military.

For example, one of the great instructors at Front Sight, Scott Hoehner, admits in the video below that the Marine Corps never taught him to present from the holster.  Front Sight's focus is on civilian self-defense, and students range from hardened Marines to brittle Grandmas.  Below is a video of the school, where I train as a lifetime member.  (I participated a bit in making some of the footage of this film several years ago.)
