I call them NDs too, and I ALWAYS carry When and where it is legal. Heck I wouldn't dream of going to set up for class without carrying. I normally stop by a convenience store about 6:00am for ice and bottled water etc, then I head to the range where I teach and I am the only one there till people start showing up an hour later. (sounds like you could have had a scary encounter if the PD had not been there)
My carry weapon stays concealed during class, and I don't do demos with a real pistol I use an airsoft. I always check that it is clear, and make my students notice that even though it is a "toy" and I know it is empty, I still check, and I NEVER point it at anyone or anything except the B27 on the wall.
There is a new instructor here that has all the NRA certifications, so I understand your comment. LOL Nothing wrong with NRA instructors, I know some really good ones, but that guy's comment was just silly.
My demo gun in class is a wood one that is visibly evident cut out of wood like a little kid would play w/
Yes I watched that one real close & was glad they were gone by the time students started arriving.
