To be allowed a concealed carry permit.

The range was basically a massive lightgun game, with target ranges, as well as one screen and 300 degree scenarios. The guns are real guns, modified with CO2 for the recoil and laser sights for the bullets, and the scenarios are intense - they actually react to vocal commands, and there are both innocent people as well as criminals, with the last one being a massive hogan's alley, where they have multiple videos from each target as both civillian and shooter, and it shows how hard gun shooting control can be in a stressful situation.

TL'DR; awesome range basically showed that without training, there's a good chance you'll pick the wrong person to shoot.

Makes sense to me.

Sounds like a cool range, too.

It was awesome :3

I'm definantly going there again. They have a Glock, an M4, and one other pistol for the range, and we only tried out the glock. Once I broke the habit of closing one eye(damn you hollywood!) my accuracy skyrocketed.

It's in Tualatin, Oregon, called Threat Dynamics.

They basically use the same system they have for police and military training, complete with a belt that shocks you for 5000 volts when you get shot in a scenario.

Holy cow.
Do they accept just anyone who can legally use a handgun, or is there some prerequisite?

No requirements whatsoever as far as I know - anyone can use the course, since it's not live fire.

Yep, we use the same kinda thing in the Marine Corps before we ever fire the rifle the first time in boot camp. Except for that shock belt, we don't use those, kinda wish we did.
