[Bailey Guns]

For all of you begging for more gov't oversight for CCW permits/training standards, you're about to get your wish. Congratulations.

FYI there was a guy by the last name of Mangus that was posing as a BATFE agent and allegedly giving out fake (forged) CHPs to folks in SE Colorado. If you took a class from this dude and got a card, go see your local SO.

Impersonating a federal agent is a federal crime. Do you know if it was investigated? Was he arrested, charged, prosecuted?

Thank you for passing along the information.

My understanding is that he has been charged in State District Court.

The feds? In SE CO? No man, haven't seen any of those dudes in years. Years.

If I was to give some friends in Colorado Springs some recommendations for training class to meet CHP requirements, who would people recommend?

I just need some very straightforward safety training for these friends, and the basics of lethal force, etc. Nothing high speed low drag or mall ninja or any instructor giving them bull manure war stories.

Feel free to have them get in touch with us also.

All new instructors are advised to do the general runaround and meet with their local sheriffs to have their Certified Instructor status kept on file. It is also helpful in gaining business and keeping that professional relationship active. They are generally very welcoming and it helps speed the process when students head in.

If taking a CCW class and you are unsure (Or the instructor is vague on credentials) ask him before hand which sheriff's office he is on file with and they can confirm if he is registered in your local county.

Why would an instructor want to "register" with the county? That has no effect on the validity of an instructor's credentials. There is no "Certified Instructor file." You either the meet the requirements outlined in C.R.S. and have the proper documentation when asked or you don't.

I'd like to know where you're registered. I want to call the county and check out your certification.

And how, exactly, will this speed up the process for students?
