An Observation....

[Born4spd]

I learned a valuable lesson recently.
Not all CCW instructors are alike.
Some of them just plain suck.
Please do your research when choosing instructors so you dont wind up in a shitty class where you pay some money, spend 3 hours in a fella's backyard and listen to him talk about vietnam.

This asshat told my friends and family to always shoot from the hip because you NEVER have enough time to use sights..

How do some of these clowns get certified?


Just felt like i had to rant.

End of Rant.

Wow...

Who was it?

 

[pmac81]

I would like to know also, have some family and friends about to take the class, want to make sure they dont get a bad instructor

 

[Born4spd]

I was told to keep my mouth shut about the instructor since it seems that he is catering to some people's needs and its really not my job to. I'd feel kind of bad throwing someone's name out there anyway especially since this is "heresay"




Seems you have two types:
Those who just want the permit, and those who are willing to put in the time and training to be able to react to situations.


He caters to the former.


Ill say this: He is not a sponsor here, so to be safe just stick with sponsors...


This particular instructor did not even go over the book, he simply gave them it, read them the front and back covers and told them to read it. Then recommended some gun rags...

To put it in the words of one of the students " It was a joke".

You owe it to the community to out this loser. Seriously. If you don't want to, pm me and I'll do it.

If you want, I can refer them to my instructor. VERY good class, just be prepared to sit their butts in the chair and participate (bring food, you'll get hungry).

That said, I have heard the (horror?) stories off the permit farming instructors.

 

[Speedlace]

So this is where those permit holders that pull their gun to intimidate, carry while drunk,act like cops, or flash their piece to look cool come from.

Improper training and not reviewing the laws!

These are some of the threads.

My initial class is what prompted me to become an NRA instructor. I did more research on my own than I spent in time in class. Not covering the curriculum only hurts the student, putting the student, the general public, and the instructor at risk in the event of firearm use (or misuse). A short class is HAZARD TO ALL not a favor to anyone.

All instructors should be discussing the relevant curriculum, laws, mindset, as well as what happens, or is likely to happen after a shooting.

Students that seek out short classes subscribe to the concept of "ignorance is bliss". This will end badly for them when they need that knowledge / skill the most.

This type of training needs to be exposed for what it is. I have been training emergency responders since 1988. In that time I have witnessed the results of students trying to perform under stress after receiving "abbreviated", I does not work out well in most cases.

Just my experience.

Even the current training requirements are not enough in my opinion.

I agree

 

[homeslice]

Did this guy's name rhyme with Fannon Hefuff? I heard he is kind of rude, but overall a half-decent kinda dude.


All kidding aside, +100 on sticking with the sponsors. I wish I would have had a site like this before I went on getting my permit.

Absolutely agree.

Absolutely. People should know if they are paying their hard earned dollars for a quality class or not. It will make the student a more responsible carrier.

 

[Bearco]

I have heard of a few in my area that teach in the same way. Show up for 1 to 3 hours, get a certificate and leave.

I am just curious not being judgemental, what else would you like to see added?

First and foremost, real shooting requirements.

 

[SOLAteeda]

First and foremost, real shooting requirements.

I will be applying for my CHP in June, so will be taking a class sometime before then. What kind of shooting requirements are in place now? And what do you mean by real requirements?

 

[Gumbo]

My class was only about 1.5 hours including range time.
