House Bill 3784 (includes language from SB 138) – Sen. Van Taylor (R-Plano) successfully added a Senate floor amendment containing the language from his SB 138 to HB 3784, a bill allowing persons approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety to offer an online course to cover the classroom porti...

Seems the NRA listened and Instructors will have the option of Blended and traditional Instructor led classes starting in April..


Good news for the NRA and us.....

Thanks for the reply....fwiw I'm not trashing the NRA....the demographics for my area is older...and they just aren't computer driven like the younger folks.... Private instruction on the range is up. LTC classes are still going strong, but NRA basic pistol courses aren't getting any interest as the...

So......

How is Blended Pistol working out for everyone....

I have had zero interest from students when they learn how the new program works and costs.....zero.

Used to give several courses a year.....not one this year...

Enjoy your day on the range....

I will do the same and refrain from further expression of my opinion.....

Firearms were invented and intended to kill, be it animal or human, I agree to that statement. All firearms are designed and intended to kill. That statement is patently false and no, I am not playing games, If as an instructor someone was telling students to kill someone when using a firearm for se...

My target pistols and rifles designed and intended for target practice, were really designed to kill someone? You ask me to not use my pistol for self defense because I don't agree with you? A difference of opinion is not tolerated? Even if I were to use my firearm in self defense, I'm not "try...

So....... all pistols/Firearms were designed with the intent to kill......

I would respectfully disagree....

I am somewhat apprehensive about student information, sure... NRA gives us the option whether you want to share the students information. I always check no. To my knowledge, no LTC student of mine has ever been contacted by the NRA or anyone else in all the years I've been instructing...... Address,...

lol.... :lol:: I would say that most of us have chosen the easiest and least expensive way to meet the State's requirements for being LTC Instructors.......... Just a different perspective........... :cheers2: There just aren't a lot of Nationally recognized certifications out there to choose from, ...

The NRA changed their rules to allow to use non-NRA courses to keep Instructor credentials valid. We are under no obligation to teach NRA courses currently. The cost of the NRA credential renewal is minuscule compared to what we get in return. The NRA has been doing a heck of a lot for us, whether s...

Does the "Non-NRA" classes qualify to keep up the NRA Basic Pistol Instructor's Certificate current? If so, can I enter Texas CHL class there as well as other defensive pistol classes?

Yes.......

Interest in the blended course has been almost none existent for us, thus far. Folks really would rather be in a classroom setting. We could invest in a few computers and have them sit in a classroom together, but I don't feel the monetary investment in 10 or more computers to be a good business str...

For the indoor range we use a wireless microphone headset with a small PA and speakers ( permanently mounted). For hearing impaired folks, we offer electronic hearing protection.
