Certified Instructors get manufacturer discounts on some guns

Daniel Defense 30% off, Sig optics more than 50% off, etc

I working on putting together some training focused on lawyers where I can provide both Continuing Legal Education credit and an NRA course completion.

Any consideration on teaching a familiarization course to the news media?  They sorely need something like that.

congratulations.  Was it difficult to get?

I mean, not too bad.  First I had to take the NRA's day-long Basics of Pistol class.   Then you take a one-day Basic Instructor Training that has a shooting qualification component.  It wasn't hard for me, but some struggled with it a little.  That makes you an "instructor," but you still have to take a class for each discipline you want to teach.  So I took the pistol instructor course which was another very long day of range and classroom time where they teach you how to teach the pistol curriculums.  All in all, 3 long-ish days, some studying, and about $700.

A humble brag here since I'm on the subject...  I shot the qualification with a double-action S&W revolver.  The NRA training counselor said I was the best DA revolver shooter he had ever seen that wasn't a nationally ranked competitor.  Maybe I missed my calling! 

I'm not exactly sure what I am going to do with the credential yet.  I working on putting together some training focused on lawyers where I can provide both Continuing Legal Education credit and an NRA course completion.

congratulations.  Was it difficult to get?

Well done Duane!
