They aren't tied to Shelly Rubins JDL if that's what your asking. They primarily teach self defense.
Fact is, I'm not familiar with the whole history of the JDL and what happened, who is pissed off at who, where the direction of the organization went wrong, I'm just familiar with little snippets of what happened from Wikipedia. I have zero knowledge of the JDO, they're on Facebook, and they have a website which looks like it hasn't been updated in a year.
I'm just concerned about getting involved with the wrong people and figured there'd be people here who are knowledgeable on who is good and who isn't. If the JDO is alright, I'm going to head over for some firearms training, meet some righteous brothers, and send some over to our forum, if not, no biggie, I'll head over to frontsite and take a firearms training vacation in Nevada.
