..I believe with the national opencarry 'movement' picking up momentum, the NRA needs to address to their instructors the need to communicate the laws/options on OC...
This is not an NRA problem. It is the course that the State is requiring. The NRA Basic Pistol does not have a section on legal. The NRA courses on Personal Protection In the Home and Personal Protection Outside the Home do include legal sections, which are supposed to be taught by a lawyer or someone else authorized by the state to conduct a course on firearms legalities. This may or may not be the NRA-Certified Instructor.
If the laws should be taught, then the State has to require a different NRA class, if they are requiring an NRA class.
NV requires a course very similar to the NRA PPOTH course. FL requires ANY type of certificate which they can construe to include some type of firearm training. They accept Hunter Safety classes. They even accept military discharge papers whether your job in the military gave you any firearms experience or not.
