It’s time to repeal the gun industry’s exceptional legal immunity

115. My classes are pretty fun as well as educational

If you don't keep it fun people don't learn as well.

As for the diversity you seem hung up on, as I am both not white and not male it would be pretty counterproductive for me to teach my students to fear me....

Around 70% of my students are female, I find women are less intimidated by a female instructor on this subject and seek them out and all my students come from referrals and word of mouth. I've done classes that were all black, classes for an LGBT group who wanted it, classes for a church group, my last class was a business owner who paid for any of his employees who wanted the class to take it.

My only requirements for the class is the person be legally eligible to possess a firearm ( I do a background screening ), willing to learn, take the class seriously and don't be unsafe.

I'm realistic about what I teach. Not just the laws on when you an and can't use deadly force, but also how and why to avoid using it even when it's a legal option and the reality of how much legal hardship a person can face from even a self defense shooting that's 100% justified. So I teach how to be more aware of ones surroundings and hopefully avoid the situation where you would ever need the gun as much as I do how and when to shoot. NC mandates the course be 8 hours but there is about 3 hours of that left up to the instructors discretion on what's covered, do situational awareness, how to defuse a situation and the legal ramifications all get taught in my classes.
