I am just writing this in response to my suprise that I have been able to find little to no training classes being held around Vermont when it comes to tactics, let alone safety training. Having lived in vermont for some time now, I know for a fact it has some of the best (albeit lax) gun laws in the states.
I guess this is what suprised me.... In a state where it is MUCH easier to obtain a firearm than most others,(I waited about ten minutes for my SW9) I think someone would want to offer at least a safety class.
I'm lucky enought to feel that I am safe when I go to the range and I'm always big on safety, but even I would also like at least a bit of formal training before I start ccw (which I plan to do).
But what about the guys I've seen at the range who happened to have a couple grand laying around and decided it they should just go buy an AK knock off cause it looks cool. It's people like that in states with lax laws that buy dumb to own, mean looking guns and then proceed to make me feel unsafe at my own range, that give ownership a bad name.
If anything i want training to keep me safe from the gangsta wannabe showoffs!
well... that turned into a rant fast.
Second point aside.... I would like to find a reasonably priced, even short, ccw class in Vermont that wont cost much and is easily available to get into. I'll even pay someone in the area to meet up and give me some pointers. I'm just suprised at how little is out there.
