This. Bar none, every FFDO I've ever met has been a complete nut job. It takes a certain type of person who will jump through that many hoops, just to keep their loaded security blanket with them at all times.
I went to the program in 2003 (went corporate later so had to quit it). It’s a good program. People that say what you do generally are anti-gun/anti concealed carry virtue signaling liberals. Thats my opinion.

But spending your vacation or days off doing FFDO training, no thanks.

FWIW back in the day we had to have a sit-down with a psychiatrist as part of the application. They didn’t give me the results, but I’d go with “a little weird.”
