We had a triple murder here and my phone (apparently I'm the only guy with a yellow-pages listing) has been ringing off the hook.
We just finished the 12-hour classroom portion of our first large class (12 people, which is as many as we can handle).
All I can say is WOW.
Seriously, I would do this for cigarette money. I haven't had this much fun with my clothes on in a long, long time.
The class were 10 women and 2 men. Almost all teachers and a couple of bonified antis. (congrats to them for taking the class).
We did a hybrid class which we call basic personal security. It includes NRA home firearms safety, basic pistol and a lot of custom content on use of force, situational awareness, practical CC concerns, home security etc.
I was really sweating the curriculum. Fortunately I have a lot of (firearms unrelated) training experience, but still, I was sweating the use of force, practical application of CC etc. Fortunately the dozens of hours I put into curriculum development, consultation with attorneys and some helpful handholding by Ken Maurer really paid off.
The first class is done and I have people emailing and calling for another class. We actually got thank you emails from a couple of people!
I just wanted to share with you guys the elation my wife and I felt after this thing was done. We nailed it, which is props to us. We had all the info, which is props to all of you guys as well.
If I had known how good this thing felt I would have been doing it long before now. Thanks to all of you for a ton of solid, useful information.
