Especially since the majority that post here have firearms training. So... anti training yet have training.
Hmmmmm.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

There are plenty of firearms trainers in WA, and they are doing just fine.... however, we do not need someone's checkoff to get a CPL. All you need is a clean record.
No training required,,,,however, most people realize that if their carry is going to do any good, they need to know what they are doing, and what the law is.

I am a certified NRA instructor. The NRA teaches that training demand will go up in proportion to the right being exercised going up. This means the more people who carry, and have easy access to carry; the more opportunity for training. So the less restrictions the more you make as a trainer ... and they are right! Sure I want to make some money as a trainer ... I made the investment in time and education I should make some money on my investment. BUT I will never support mandatory training. If I do my job as not only an instructor but as a gun owner then every person I meet should decide to learn more. Heck I pay to go to classes to learn more. NRA classes=check, AACFI=yep, massad ayoob=oh yeah .... learn, learn and keep learning ... then practice twice as much!
I have never met an NRA or AACFI trainer who was in it just for the money. Your mileage shouldn't vary!

Way To Go Mr. Mike
Dear Mr. Mike,
Thank you for your attitude.
I have met instructors who are "just in it for the money", but I do not agree with their attitude (as evidenced by my instruction fees). But, I do agree with your marketing philosophy (even though that never came up at any NRA Instructor Course I ever took).
My own real life marketing experience was, the last time I visited WI to offer the UT CFP course and NRA Basic Pistol Course - was - I expected 5 - 8 students and got 36 because of the discounted fees. I made more offering a 1/2 price NRA course and a UT CFP Course at 25% of the going rate than I would have made if I charged market prices. And, thus, many more law abiding citizens of Wisconsin will be joining the ranks of lawful concealed carry citizens than if the course had not been offered. So, I made more money by being below market prices and more law abiding citizens got quality training - a WIN - WIN all around.
Carry On Mr. Mike - proudly carry on.

I also doubt we'd ever see car insurance agents fighting to eliminate the car insurance requirement, nor will we ever see health insurance companies trying to get rid of Obama care.

I can't remember. He started a thread here a few months ago outing himself... Don't make me use the site search engine. I'm in a good mood.
Yes. He doesn't always agree with the things the owner says.

So our fellow member is not Mr Grabowski from the interview?
No, it is not. Glockmeister is the employee.
