Thanks, for all who train those who have decided to take responsibility for their own lives(and for those in the extended family of man), and not abdicate that responsibility to our federal government, which has long been proven to have responsility for public, not private, safety. Even in Right-To-Carry states, this education is invaluable, since the individual decision to prepare for potential future use of deadly force is not always easy. We are the soldiers, the Minutemen...

Thanks Rick. As my associate instructor points out, the learning to shoot is only a small part of it. We teach the legal ramifications of deadly force and self-defense, the laws pertaining to concealed carry, violence avoidance, and child access prevention.
We're not in the business of turning out Rambos and Rambettes--we're trying to educate experienced gun owners,and teach new shooters the wonders of our sport, and the many responsibilities you assume when you strap on that gun. Like I say, more soldiers for the Army--educated, thoughtful ones ready to protect themselves and their families legally and morally, I hope.

As a fellow firearms instructor, I applaud your efforts. I agree that with each class we respectively teach, we effectively thumb our noses at the system and bring on more "like-minded" folks onto our side. Keep up the good work!

I was at the class the Gordon mentioned. I was a first timer, although I have many years of experience with guns/weapons.
The class was very informative, learned quite a few pointers on guns, handling, safety/responsibility. These points were illustrated with hands on and discussion of actual events/experiences.
Wish I had taken the class earlier and had brought family members.
Don't put off taking this class, you and your family will be well served with the information provided. It was well worth the time and money and Gordon is an excellent instructor.
