[QUOTE="Lenonthelake, post: 2137662, member: 28842"] You would be surprised with the number of teachers who are SDA qualified. The same with administrators. I did not have a handgun until this last summer and I had no training at all on handguns. I purchased one because of break-ins in the middle of the night with the residents at home in my neighborhood. The house across the street and one at the end of the block. I figured I could hit a burglar from 5 or 6 feet in the dark in my house where i know where everything is. My son purchased a gun right after Christmas this year and talked me into going out and shooting with him, i was really prepared. No ear protection, my ears are still ringing, I could not hit the broad side of a barn from 20 yards. I signed up for the SDA class along with my son, bought a better gun for the class and listened to everything the instructor told us. I am worried about having to make the decision to shoot or not shoot, but I know if i have to pull the trigger I will hit what I am aiming at. I would practice more and get better prepared for the possibility but ammunition is almost nonexistent in my area and what little I can find is very expensive. I have been reading and watching training video's on U-tube and following the different forums, I still don't know about shooting someone, but I think if my life (or family) depended on it I would and could. My SDA application is in the pipeline, I don't know if i will EDC or not. Don't see that many events where it would be necessary where I live, rural Oklahoma, but I know I will when going to Tulsa or OKC.
