If you were referring to Tom Givens, then you don't know the man.
I do. FWIW, I was an LE instructor for well over 20 years... Many of those years the FTU Supervisor, all for a large State Police agency with close to a thousand troopers, and several hundred other commissioned-but-non trooper ancillary hands... Not to mention what we called "the alphabet po-lice" (state ABC, state FM, state DPS, etc.) we were responsible for training/qualifying/etc.
My point here is, between all the training I personally conducted, personally observed, and the myriad of classes I went to, I learned how to tell the difference between an okay instructor and a good one. And I have never seen a better one than Tom Givens.
A few have been equal... But none have ever surpassed his ability, as far as I'm concerned. And him doing some of the insane bullshit my pal has told me about? I don't think so, Tim.
At any rate...for you just having to know, the villain here is Costa. And this three day basic pistol class began Tuesday, as I mentioned. Tomorrow he begins what I believe is a three day carbine class, at the same venue... which is somewhere in Ohio. My pal told me the location, but I forgot. He lives just east of Cleveland, and the place is within driving distance for him. So perhaps some of you sleuths can pin it down. Just don't bother on my behalf...
I have not yet heard from my pal regarding Days Two and Three. I'm really wondering what he is going to have to say.
