Thanks TD2K I appreciate the information & Link. I have another questions for you thiugh. How does one get the certification to teach the CCW Classes?

that is different for each state. Oklahoma recognizes NRA instructor courses, not sure about FL. I basically have to send in my NRA credentials and application to CLEET (the state's law enforcement training program), they will send me a certificate stating that I can be an SDA Instructor. Then I have to send THOSE credentials to the OSBI along with my application, fingerprints, passport photos, etc (just like I did for my conceal carry license) and wait for them to approve that and send me the instructor certification card. It'll probably take about 2 months overall, but I'll eventually get it.

Received my NRA cert about 2 weeks ago (THAT WAS FAST!), then yesterday my CLEET cert arrived. Now I have to send all of that, along with another application, to OSBI and wait again. Almost there though!!!

Congratulations. Now check out the manufactures that will give you a discount if you use them for training. Kahr having one of the most generous. Ruger another.

yeah, I learned about Kahr's discounts at the SHOT show. They give a heck of a deal.

I plan to use my GSG 1911 .22 for the semi-auto portion, but need to pick up a decent .22 revolver. Would REALLY like to have both single and double action .22 revolvers. Might be able to get Rugers for that.

Thanks to TD2K I am signed up for the Pistol Instructors course in Florida. My class starts in two weeks over the weekend. I will be also taking the Rifle Course followed by the Range Safety Officer Course on line. I think I am going to be a busy boy in the not too distant future.

YAY!!!!

I still have to do the Range Safety Officer part, they gave us the packet after our pistol class. I just have to read through it, take the test, and send it in.

I plan to do rifle soon, just have to find a class and get signed up.

RSO is a great course to take. Remember that your yearly renew for each of these will probably come due(all at once) at the same time with the NRA. It is about $6 per year per certificate. I just sent both of mine in.
