Getting Certified- Centennial Defense Academy

[bellavite1]

I am a Certified Instructor.
Yeah, it's boring, and full of PC bullshit, but it is worth it.
Keep in mind this, though: any job becomes a job... I met some pornstars at the AVN in Vegas, guys that ahve sex with three chicks at a time for a living...they so much wanted to be somewhere else, they were bored out of their mind by the whole porn scene...
But, I guess, being an instructor beats a cubicle
Added bonus: if you work in the Industry, shooting related expenses become tax deductible...

Touche! So I could put cost of ammo and reloading equipment (may get into that this year) as a tax deductible expense? Although, I will say (surprise coming for only a small number here) if I was in the adult entertainment industry and got to do what some of those guys do (especially the 3 chicks thing) I would love my life so damn much! I don't think I could call that work... Does that make me a nympho?

It's called job training..The ammo thing I mean, not the Ninpho part...

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the guy about an hour ago, very nice fella, the class I'm in is on the 13th, he overbooked (er his wife who works with him overbooked) and so he's having 2 classes. The requirements are a 3" 3-ring binder (?), gun, two mags, and a box of ammo... sounds to me like he's gonna have some shooting in this class... WOOOPIEEE! I might not need that Red Bull after all, and if all goes well these next two days (hopefully today) I'll get to take the class with my new P229!

The way I have understood it is that you can teach your own syllabus but you cannot call it an NRA class or give a NRA Cert. Now that might be different once you obtain the Advance Pistol Instructor Credential but I need to look more closely into that before I can say for sure.

I should have elaborated-you are correct about not calling it an NRA course if your not going by their syllabus.

You mean basic pistol. As far as I know the NRA doesn't have a "CCW" course. Basic Pistol simply meets the state req. Also if you teach BP a gun is a "firearm" or "Handgun". It's not a weapon until you start teaching PPIH and PPOH.

Your good man I was just spouting and not getting to see replies (@work).
