I had an advantage in that I started with ML and already knew a bunch of basics.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-72228943418793622472015-05-13T09:18:21.770-07:002015-05-13T09:18:21.770-07:00My .mil ID would have gotten me my CCW here, but I...My .mil ID would have gotten me my CCW here, but I actually took a course to get the law part.

You are fooling yourself if you think so. I only have 8 hours with you. 4 for the laws, 4 for actually running the Handgun. <br />It pisses me off that some, given this great responsiblity to instruct, short the student in a subject that has great import.<br />I'm a great teacher, over a decade in the classroom. It pisses me off. It degrades all of us that do care and I don't do it for the cash. In fact, the cash is not that great after Instructor Insurance, State renewal, range fees, etc.<br /><br />Sad. I care. Many do not when telling people what do do in a life changing event.

I spent $150 and got my license, but the "class" was a waste of time and the "test" was a joke as well. <br /><br />But I'm legal!

WV only requires a three-hour class, and you don't even have to shoot your own handgun, so some crummy "instructors" are giving their students .22 pistols, having them shoot a few targets, and then basically wasting time. One local flim-flam course giver actually tells his students how to disarm armed assailants and wastes a good chunk of that three hours playing Rambo with a dummy gun basically just to show them what a bad-ass that he is. But heck--at least he's not teaching them about the laws related to self-defense or what to do after a shooting. You get what you pay for and a lot of people around here didn't get jack for knowledge or skills but they have permits.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.com
