Just a quick 'Thanks' to Jim and Proactive Shooters. On Saturday I took my oldest son and one of my nephews to the Firearms Safety Course in Chantilly. Jim was well prepared and did a very good job presenting the material. The class was light hearted at times, yet serious when it needed to be. The documentation packet that was given to participants was very well laid out, and professional looking. Kudos. I have already reccomended Proactive to a couple other people.
Jim gives one of the better classes in Virginia.
When I talk to people who are new to firearms and want to take a CHP class, I always recommend him.
I took the class when my wife wanted a CHP. I neither needed a class to get a CHP nor do I have any intention of getting a CHP...but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's very thorough and and as you noted, his printed material is top drawer.
Take all that and add a man that is a solid OC'er as well and you have something to be proud of. I don't know any other CHP instructors that can make that claim.
