The class held Tuesday Jan. 23 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. is taught by Lou Krupkin and discusses the Blowback Laser Trainer and its benefits for law enforcement firearms instruction. The Blowback Laser Trainer is a non-firing training gun that features CO2-powered felt recoil and ejectable magazines. It has the same weight, look, and feel of a duty gun.
