As others have said and Keith made it plain, "my range my rules." You just have to remember it is your dollar so you choose the instructor with the range that has the rules you can live with.RossA wrote:Well, if that's the case, then you can also say that a student has to use certain brands of ammo, certain types of guns, certain types of eye and ear protection, etc., or else they don't pass the test.
I don't see where an instructor has that authority.
The state has set out certain rules that we have agreed to use as instructors. Those are the rules we should use.
More than anything is "safety." I do not want to be on a line with anyone including instructors that are not safe. I have seen Firearms Instructors with LE agencies that had no clue about safety. I walked away from an Officer Survivor school for this very reason. The badge "Instructor" does not automatic transfer one to "professional."
