I took this guy’s class and he is so full of misinformation it’s not funny.... steer clear of this one

I was shocked to see your post as the guy that did our class was awesome. I went back to the link and clicked the "meet your instructor" link only to discover that this is not the guy who did our class. Our instructors first name was David which is the guy everyone talks about in the class reviews on the web page but not the guy who is now doing the classes. Not sure what happened to David.

I was in Winchester Gallery in Fort Worth today and was able to speak to the instructor you recommended. He understood the situation, and gave me basic skills and tips, enough to educate and empower myself until I go through the classes. I really like the S&W Bodyguard 38. I wanted to update you and thank you for your help.

To THX:

I’m not a high profile individual; my hair draws attention, so I'm easy to locate. I don't know anything about guns, so this is not common sense to me. I’ve never been to a gun show, assumed it would be more men, police officers and military. My safety has been threatened. I just don't want to be a statistic.

Thank you everyone for your help.

I wouldn't think that your hair would be an issue at the gun show. I have been to many shows and I can assure you that it's not all "red necks" and "jar heads" (I'm not found of either one of those terms but you understand what I mean).

I'm sure that someone on the forum would be more than happy to meet you at the show and give you a "tour". I know that I would be more than happy to if my wife did not already have my weekend booked with an extensive "honey do" list.

He is a former Marine shooting instructor so he knows his way around the range. Also offers individual firearm instruction. I believe he has been a CHL instructor for 10 years.

Gun shows are a great place to look a wide variety of firearms but before purchasing I would recommend finding a range that has rentals so you can shoot the guns you are looking at purchasing. Just remember the rentals are not usually very well maintained so performance may not be up to par but it will give you a feel for the weapon.
