[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1985840, member: 385"] Like a very few SDA instructors, I have been active since this thing first began. I've been a resource for other instructors, from time to time. The legal portion has changed a number of times during this period. The safety and firearms handling/live fire portion is essentially the same it always has been. The intent of the legislature with the SDA Act was to provide students a good knowledge of applicable law, as well as sufficient firearms skill to be safe among the state's general population. People learn at different speeds; some a little faster than others. A class's speed is limited by the comprehension and skills exhibited by its slowest member. Each member of the class MUST grasp the critical portion of the laws. Each member of the class MUST master safe handling, loading/unloading, firing procedures for various handguns. When I'm finished with a class, the students know about ALL the applicable laws. They know which they had likely better memorize. They know how to handle/fire all 3 pistol types. They have handled both revolvers and semi's in class with dummy ammo. They learn proper firing methods, which for many is a huge improvement over what they thought they knew. They know how to keep current with the law, as it changes. They know how to fill out and complete their application. Occasionally I have a student who doesn't have it all together with the firearms portion. I bring them back out for a two hour session, no charge. This is rarely necessary, but I do it rather than turn someone not ready loose or fail them for the class. I would fail a student, passing written safety test or not, if they were not sufficiently firearms proficient to be out among the general population. I find that it will take very nearly 8 hr of actual instructional time, excluding breaks and lunch, to meet this goal. If the "light" hasn't gone on behind the eyes, of each and every student, the instructor has failed. Personally I do not see how it would be possible to effectively and FULLY instruct in the 4 hour time frame mentioned. [/QUOTE]
