[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3205145, member: 26737"] [SIZE=17px][FONT=UICTFontTextStyleTallBody][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)] It sounds like you got a bad instructor, or else they changed the class significantly since I took it. Maybe things have changed, but when I took the class not long after the SDA was enacted, the class was almost entirely about safe gun handling. It wouldn't be confused with a safe carrying class, just the basics of gun safety. They used what I was told was the military method of instruction: we'll tell you what we're gonna tell you, then we'll tell you, then we'll tell you what we told you, then we'll take a test on it. (And, quite frankly, if you couldn't pass that test, I'm pretty sure you'd have trouble fogging a mirror, let alone carrying.) The shooting "test" wasn't scored, but it was timed. At "point blank" and "point blank with a lean" ranges, there wouldn't be much point in scoring it, but it was mostly about demonstrating safe gun handling. As we put it at the time, as long as you didn't shoot yourself, didn't shoot one of the other students, and didn't shoot the instructor, you were going to pass. Given the way gov't usually works, it's probably not enough money to cover the costs, but I agree with this.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
