How to become an instructor?
Where can I find classes to become an NRA and MSP certifed instructor? I'm encountering a fair number of friends who are interesting in getting their LTC and would like to be able to give them good information, not just what I've picked up here and there over the years.
Thanks.Experience is a harsh teacher. It gives the exam first and then the lesson.

I did Ken Wilkinson's course in CT. You won't learn anything new about guns in the instructor course that you didn't already know though.
It's more about how to teach it the NRA way.Last edited by bill o; 05-10-2012 at 07:38 AM.

Scouter-Rick or Jon Green are your best bets. They are both superb TCs who really know how to "teach the teacher".
If you have any questions on what is involved beyond the course (and there is PLENTY involved), feel free to give me a call, you should have my number. I'll answer anything I can.Mass. Gun Laws By and For Non-Lawyers (How To Stay Legal and Out of Trouble) - Seminar

I went through scouter_rick. Great class, and awesome guy. The wait is what kills you. 8 weeks for the NRA to process, 2 weeks to mail out your credentials, then you have to mail into the SP. Total turn around time is more than 2 1/2 months from time of class.

New Hampshire gun shops are like strip clubs. You can look at all the nice stuff, but none of it will be leaving in your pants for the ride home!

Ames Rifle and Pistol Club held a class a few years back. Check with the club.

I got mine from Rick and my Range Safety Officer from Jon. Can't go wrong with either of these guys. And when you become a instructor be a good one. (They both carry a big stick and justifiable so)

Feed a man for a day, and he'll be back for more. Feed a man a bullet, and he won't bug you again.
