[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2337587, member: 6145"] Well, I strongly disagree. I don't think you are qualified to make this statement unless you have taught the class for say 20 times and evaluated the people that attend this class. A good qualified instructor can convey ideas, instructions, knowledge, and just a plain understanding of gun safety, the liabilities of carrying a gun and much, much more that is not in the SDA. Now, comes the safety training module/teaching contained in the OK Handgun License course. A novice can in no way gain this information from 'reading' the SDA. For example, the SDA does not define or state the uses of the 'slide lock'. I would say over 85% of students attending the class have any idea of what the slide lock does or where it is. I think we all would agree that it is important to lock the slide back to show that the gun is empty while at the range. For example, I had one student that brought his Glock to shoot. When I locked the slide back without the magazine, he looked at me and said, 'I have owned that gun for 20 years and never knew how to do that.' I think he learned something that day. I feel I bring a great deal of info to the class that is not contained directly in the SDA. Regarding your statement that the class does nothing for 'public safety', how about this. Over 90 percent of the students that come to my classes do not understand that they are responsible for every bullet they shoot. If they fire a shot that misses the bad guy and kills an innocent person, the shooter is responsible for this. When I teach them this fact and to be careful where and who they shoot, I would say it helps public safety. [/QUOTE]
