I emailed him too, & was sent the same news article in reply.
Not a link to or quote from a law, just a news report.

the NRA does not provide curriculum OR training to its instructors with respect to state laws; in ANY state.
Yep.

According to the website of Mr. Gallup, the course being taught is the NRA Basic Pistol course.
Not if he's including a discussion of laws, or interjecting his opinions.
There's nothing like that in the curriculum.
Having such a discussion AFTER class is perfectly fine, as long as students understand that it's not part of the class & isn't NRA material. I intend to give my students a page with links to read or search WI laws themselves, as well as a few of the relevant statutes.

Is it good to know the law? Yes. Is it required to be taught in the course to get the permit? No.
Further, it is NOT the role of an instructor to teach it (law OR opinion) as part of an NRA curriculum. In fact, the NRA does not sanction such content in their courses.
The only courses that require a discussion of laws are the Personal Protection series, and that cannot be done by an NRA instructor unless that person is a lawyer or LEO or something similar.
Here's there web contact form:

I'd choose 'training' from the pulldown menu.
Let them decide if the content violates their standards.
