Unfortunately the school failed on many levels as well, and I’m not saying the school officials should get criminal charges but they could have done more.
I’m sure some LEOs don’t like this law, however the handful I’ve spoken to are fine with it. If I come across someone that’s new to carrying I will take the time to share some safety pointers. Hope some of the current instructors will setup some type of basic handgun safety class that may...
Southern Shooting Center is like this and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately I find most ranges are geared towards long range shooting and the pistol shooting area is a static line. Hopefully the new owners improve the customer service side of things.
For knee pads that you will only use for this one class, I’d personally suggest going to HF and getting the “light duty foam knee pads $3.99” chunk them in the trash after (IMO they are good enough for kneeling on brass, small rocks or sticks).
With the new ownership at least there’s a chance it will improve, with the last owners it had no chance. Can’t wait to make the trip once it’s up and running!
