Question on the NRA - President seems to be a bit extreme

Perhaps make the program similar to what armed commercial pilots participate in? Those guys must get fairly extensive and regular training. Regular trigger time, shoot/no shoot scenarios, force on force, etc.

not a bad idea, but pilots go to one location for the training and can do follow up training at several locations. they also fly for free. massive massive massive cost associated with that for teachers. only thing I would say for the teachers is local training with local LEO or NRA certified instructor types with an approved course and maybe annual or bi-annual recurrent.
