Re: We are the enemy

:iagree:

Additionally, we have the obligation (I'm thinking moral, not legal) to offer options for additional training and to point out the benefits of that training. IMHO, a CHL instructor who doesn't offer training options (Basic Pistol classes, FIRST Step classes, etc) is doing a disservice to their students. It doesn't even have to be the CHL instructor who teaches (although that is a way for an instructor to increase their client base & revenue stream). Just explain the benefits of additional firearm training and have a list of qualified instructors on hand and/or point students to the NRA Instructor website.

And finally, we absolutely should be teaching our own kids about firearms. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6. If our kids are involved in BSA or GSA, we should get involved there as well. If you are a certified instructor or know one, you could offer to teach classes with your kid's troop.

Re: We are the enemy

Let's assume, just for the sake of argument, that Constitutional Carry is passed. Now, anyone who is not prohibited from owning a pistol can carry openly or concealed as they wish. It would be smart for those who want to carry to take additional training. Even those who have training should probably go through a refresher course every so often. But what do we do about those folks who choose to carry without getting any training in the safety & legal use of firearms? IMHO, we should hold them accountable for their actions should they do something wrong.

Yes, it makes me slightly nervous that there are people out there who carry a firearm and have no training whatsoever or minimal training at best. But what makes me even more nervous is allowing government to dictate and license our basic rights.

Yeah...Well....Wait till she gets to know me. :lol::

BTW, I took the HFS and BPI class w/ Mr. Crowe right after y'all. Did you class include HFS or was it just BPI? (Totally OT, sorry for the highjack)

EDIT: Also OT, I'm looking forward to meeting y'all at the Meet and Great on 4/6. I'll be out there with my OLD (older than dirt) man, Pawpaw. :evil2:
