Notes On A Horrible Firearms Class
From Swift Silent Deadly:
I hate to write a bad review, but the tipping point for this one was safety, which we’ll get to. In addition to at least one egregious safety violation, there was all around bad instructional methodology throughout. My purpose in writing this is to tease out some lessons-learned, rather than just complain.I have also tried to provide some good, real-world examples of instructors who do a great job in these areas.
Before we get into it: one important note: I am not going to name this instructor here. I grappled with this decision, and reached out to a couple other, more experienced bloggers for their opinions, because I don’t want you to spend your money on him, but I also don’t want to fuel drama in the gun industry. If you think you may be attending one of his classes, contact me and I may confirm or deny the instructor’s name. I reserve the right to make a case-by-case decision on this, however.
