I mentioned the lack of a BIO. However an NRA Instructor certificate [ONLY] does not make said person less knowledgeable than JOHN Wayne All Star firearms honcho. What separates some instructors is How they "teach / Instruct" the student.
Some straight talk you , while others spend 50-60% of their course telling "stories" of "How they stopped" "When i was a Sheriff" "I remember one time while i was patrolling" Etc.
ONE war story is ok, providing it's relevant to a CCW, using a CCW class for you own personal bio lecture is not.

My concern is for all the WE UPDATE'S this course has, the complete omission for the Instructors Bio, is a concern. Give me, the potential student some meat, not a lot of hot air. The web site looks like a CV for a job. Using all Buzz Words to get your attention, as i'm sure it does
