I'm not sure if you have read my other post, but I'm looking at options on other forms of income, but still want to do something I enjoy.

What kind of knowledge does one need to become a CHL instructor?

Although I've been around guns all my life, I've never messed with them much until recently. I've always been a big supporter of crime prevention and fighting back to preserve one's life and safety, so I became a CHL holder for reasons of self and family protection. In other words, my knowledge of guns consists of only what is necessary, best, or the most wise decision for defense purposes.

When I consider gun use, I consider it for its merits in stopping a threat in any form (human, dog, etc.) I'm not a big hunter, nor am I knowledgable about rifles. If it doesn't pertain to self-defense, I don't know much about it.

Would a person like me make a good CHL instructor? Obviously, a CHL instructor has to know more about the subject matter than the students. But what type of knowledge would I need to best equip my students for life with a CHL, and for obtaining and maintaining integrity and self-control as honorable examples of a CHL holder?
