For Camden classes, yes we do. We ask that only new brass cased (Aluminum is "OK")  factory loaded ammo be used in our loaners guns (steel is fine for AKs)...or your own guns for training. No matter if it is a bolt gun (match grade only), semi-automatic pistol or even our shotguns we have found that brass cased ammo makes all firearm types run more smoothly than steel. We understand that with the AK-47 it was designed for steel so that is OK. We also realize that brass cased ammo typically costs 10-15% more than steel but you have already invested so much in your training why would you want less than the best ammo so you can get the absolute MOST from your investment? If you choose to use steel anyway please do not complain to us that our guns won't work...they work just fine with brass. You are REQUIRED to clean and lubricate your loaner gun after each day of training and before you return it.

• Firearms loan does NOT include the support gear (mags, sling, holster, mag pouches, OR AMMUNITION, etc.) that you need to complete the class. This does NOT include ammunition (yes we have been asked that). Ammunition must be new manufacture (not reloads) for use in our guns. Guns must be returned at the end of each training day. STUDENT is FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE for damage or lost gear. We can rent the accompanying gear (Pistol Gear $25 per day, Carbine Gear $75 per day, Bolt Gun gear $100 per day). $50.00 Cleaning for for each gun returned dirty.

1. We don’t want to get accused of a “bait and switch” if one of us gets sick. It has happened and we don’t want to make people think we are being deceptive. We aren’t.
2. We want to discourage “hero worship”. There are no heroes at Tactical Response.
3. We are selling a philosophy, not a person or merely a training class. As silly as it will sound to some folks we know in our heart this is the only true American Martial Art. Our classes are far more than just some range time and are called “life changing” by many of our students for a reason.
4. Don’t worry if a certain Instructor isn’t at your class. It never fails that when we send our cadre to a location the host ALWAYS asks for the same guys back. Why? Because our entire staff is knowledgeable and professional.
5. It is disrespectful to our team for us to act as if one is a star and others merely underlings.
6. It is bad business. One person cannot be in five places at once.
7. Many people feel as if they may be slighted if the “Big Name” instructor for the outfit isn’t at their particular class. For most organization this is true and I understand why. Most folks won’t hire people that are smarter or can outperform them. The difference at Tactical Response is I am not afraid to hire guys as good as or better than me. ALL of my crew is squared away. Look at their bios....many are more experienced than I am…some are funnier too!
