Hello! This is my first post on this forum!
I have what i believe is a unique question...
I have carefully chosen approximately 50 of my friends who i believe have interest in learning how to use close quarter firearms. And set aside the date of Sunday July 12th for a possible trip to a range, or a school, or even someone's private property, to learn how to operate a firearm. It would need to be within a two or three hour drive from New York City.
They are a diverse group ranging from somewhat experienced to individuals who have never seen a gun out of a holster.
So far 10 have confirmed with 14 abstaining.
It seems that most of the ranges in the NY / NJ / PA / CT area are either private or are one of these places that people who don't necessarily have any interest in learning anything, go to shoot a firearm downrange and maybe aim.
I would love to find a place where they can get acclimated to using a firearm. learn to operate efficiently, and learn the importance of grip & stance, retention, indexing, mindset, etc. A sort of crash course if you will, with the intention of igniting a spark in their minds, showing some value, and teaching the virtues, of keeping arms.
Any suggestions or offers are very welcome. I'm also open to any private individual who sees the value in this, who can teach these guys. Keep in mind however, I'm the only gun owner in the group. They don't have any.
Your time, and thoughts are well appreciated.
