Ok… Seeing as there is quite a bit of chatter on the forum these days about “Certified Instructors” and what they do, how much money they charge, and where they’re from.
Out of my frustration on this, by doing simple Google searches on the names, I did a little research on the names that I’ve seen over the past several weeks. This is just what I have been able to find, and would enjoy any input from those of you who certainly have been around here for much longer than I have, and may know these guys personally. As far as that goes, I know several of them are active members of this forum, so now’s your chance to add to your “Resume so-to-speak”
These are the names I’ve collected over the past several weeks…
Brad Krause:[/b]
Most of us here know who Brad is, if you don’t, he’s the guy that plants trees with a sidearm and really annoys the West Allis PD.
Brad is a certified AACFI instructor, and from my personal chat with him last week, is a pretty nice guy too. He’s a Wisconsin resident and teaches Wisconsin classes.
Bill Schmitz:[/b]
Bill is also an AACFI Instructor out of Red Granite WI, and teaches Wisconsin classes.
John Clark (JJC)[/b]
John is also an AACFI Instructor out of the LaCrosse WI area, and teaches Wisconsin classes.
Mark Thole:[/b]
Mark is the owner and lead instructor at Midwest Marksman Inc. (Could not find out where it is located)
Mark’s website posts classes in various areas of safety and Personal Protection al seemingly NRA affiliated with locations in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Gene German:[/b]
Gene’s website primarily speaks to Minnesota permit training
Steve Gibbs:[/b]
Steve was a bit harder to find information on although it appears he is an attorney and teaches instructors in the Minnesota Personal Protection Group about firearm laws in Minnesota. Steve is/has been a board member with the NRA.
