To address the question Jim asked, before this got rather off-topic...
I would very much like to take the personal protection class. Any of the 4 days works for me.
(But if there aren't enough people, or it makes more sense to do a larger basic class - or two basic classes [woohoo!] - it's OK... I have my eye on the instructor course coming up soon.)
Questioning rudely is, well, rude.
Questioning without paying attention to what's in front of you is kinda dumb.
The ignorance (or perhaps inattention?) is shown by:
1) not reading the post, quoted in its entirety*, which clearly laid out various instructor qualifications
2) not reading the assortment of threads discussing the new cc law & what qualifies as training
(FYI, santana, there's a link to a PDF of the law in my sig. Training requirements are on page 8, right-hand column.)

Here's a page where you can get descriptions of the NRA classes:

If you took Bob Llanas' intro... well, having had my first lesson from him myself, & reading the "equivalent experience" part of the course description, I'd say that's at least equivalent to First Steps, but it's not one of the things listed, so it's Jim's call as to whether or not to do a "pre-course assessment".

Then how would the new person know about them?Outdoorsman1 said:He has certifications and credentials that he has not even mentioned here.
Questioning is good. That's how we learn.For ANYONE to question his authority, qualifications, and reasons for offering classes in WI just shows the total ignorance of the person doing the questioning.

Yes. Both.bmwguy11 said:So, how does the PP in the home course work? Do you teach it in a classroom or a range or?

If you took the Basic Pistol class at Fletcher's, you're good.you mentioned you have to have NRA basic pistol first. But would you be willing to forego that requirement if we have have our UT permits? (my wife and I both took the basic pistol course at fletcher arms, and we both shoot almost weekly)
