Foxtrot,

You are absolutely 100% correct. When I went to my NRA Instructor's Course, I saw the "profile" you are referring to and it made me sick. Something that will REALLY make you vomit - Iowa recently passed a conceal-carry law that mirrors Colorado's in most ways. When this happened, those types of instructors you are referring to FLOCKED to Iowa and started pushing out 4-hour classes of students by the hundreds at $50 a pop. I was also informed they were booking classes months in advance and filling them without problem.

A good friend of mine who lives in the southeast Iowa region went to one of those classes and was confused after it was all said & done. I did him a favor when I went out to visit & gave him a one-day class. Afterwards he stated how pissed he was about spending $50 on a garbage class from the previous instructor. The classes that don't require live fire is just beyond me and I don't know why they won't change that in the training requirement for CCW. These lazy, know-it-all instructors that only care about making $$$ and not producing quality over quantity just blows my mind. Your students are a reflection of you. If you teach garbage, you produce garbage.
