I'm a Massachusetts resident. If I obtain my NRA Basic Instructor Training and Pistol Shooting Instructor certifications through a course taught in Connecticut, will there be any problem teaching basic firearm safety courses in Massachusetts?

You also needed $50 and a current MA LTCAll I needed to get MA Instructor certification was my NRA Instructor credentials and an agreement to teach the laws in MA.
However, if you don't have your MA LTC, a Basic Pistol class taken in CT may not (or will probably not) satisfy your Police Chief when it comes to getting your MA LTC, as that course didn't teach you MA laws

Also, Rob Wrote: "There is little need, or demand, for MA basic courses that do not offer the state certificate.." Rob, please clarify this in the context of MYclarification in the paragraph above.
That's it.BTW, when you advise also taking the MA GOAL "seminar for instructors" please confirm that you are referring to the following:
BFS Primer Course for State Certified Firearm Instructors
The GOAL Foundation often receives inquiries from both new and seasoned firearm instructors about refresher courses. Our BFS Primer course is definitely part of a well rounded "refresher". As instructors certified by the Commonwealth, as well as the NRA, we are required to convey sections of Massachusetts law (Chapter 140 § 131P).
Does anyone know of an NRA Counselor who gives the NRA Basic Instructor Training and Pistol Shooting Instructor certifications? I am looking to take the course either March-April or June 2012.
I highly recommend Rick Sitte (aka Scouter-Rick).
