I know he just had one last week--so that may be right--probalby one of the first ones in the new year.

I put a review of the class in the General section: viewtopic.php?f=128&t=58316

I don't know about the other options in the area, but I was really happy with Dan.

I absolutely agree with you. I have had a couple of "bad" TCs, but didn't realize it until I got into one of Dan's classes. There was a LOT of basic information that had been left out. I worked with Dan to get up to speed on the areas that were negligent--and have since taken several classes with him--and if I can help it, won't go to another TC

oh--just realized one question I didn't answer---the BIT is not a stand alone class

Where are you?--I can recommend a fantastic TC--and discourage you from taking from a couple I know!!

Basic Pistol--you can teach Basic Pistol & First Steps--what's the difference? First Steps is for the person(or couple) who walk up & say "This is my gun. Teach me how to use my gun?" Basic Pistol is a comprehensive course about handguns--revolvers, semi, ammo, etc

If it is your first instructor ticket(with NRA)--I encourage the Basic Pistol--it also includes the BIT(Basic Instructor Training) that is required for all instructor. Once you have it, you don't have to repeat it for every instructor class. Also--some of the TCs are combining the Home Firearm Safety with the Basic Pistol, so you really get 2 in one class
