[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2796737, member: 796"] We do offer such classes tailored to using the customer's actual gun and starting right at the first steps if need be. I have available NRA First Steps, Basic Pistol, Personal Protection in the Home, and Personal Protection Outside the Home. Ironically, my usual customers are couples and women. Most individual guys who contact me are NOT looking to learn the basics, but are wanting the tacticool super courses (or think they do). I refer them to TDSA; one who overestimated his abilities came back from Tulsa shocked. For example, one couple who had minimal shooting experience started at first Steps, trying several of my guns. She selected a J frame .38 S&W revolver, and he an S&W 9mm semiauto. They took several courses together, including Personal Protection. Some choose to shoot .380s, a few insist on shooting .22s, and one learned to shoot a .22 well, then switched to a S&W .38 revolver. Is it a mistake to teach people to shoot a S&W J frame .22? I don't think so, if that is what they want. If they advance to the person protection courses, they may switch to a larger caliber. As to buying the ammo, well yes, they have to buy commercial ammunition for each class. But First Steps is only a box or 2. [/QUOTE]
