In defense of the NRA its purpose is, to introduce people to firearms. I learned to shoot in the military. (My air guns as a kid don't count) been shooting and reloading since the 70' and yes I was veted by the training counselor. I get tired of people putting down NRA instructors. Over the years I have participated in almost every WOT that Roxan gave at AGC until I got sick from chemo. I had some AH at a gun show challenge me about my skills in gun fighting because I was wearing my instructors hat. I walked away from him, that is not the purpose of the courses. I teach to bring new people into our hobby and perhaps to turn the tide regarding gun control. I haven't been in a gunfight since the late 60's and I hope I never will be but I am prepared to handle myself. Even the defense in the home teaches to retreat into a safety room. The difference between cover and concealment etc. if you want tactical training there are places to get it. I tell the people I train they must keep their skill up. After a year on Chemo I went shooting with my wife and all my shots were within the plate and I think my wife hit it once and that started the basics all over again. That's the difference between experience and a newly learned diminished skill. So not all NRA instructors are dopes.
I just read the tread about the mis information in the gun world. Just go to YouTube
I have a friend, marine in combat action up on the DMZ and landed in Denang when the war ramped up. He once told me that the Viet cong could chamber our rounds in an AK but we could not chamber theirs. I don't know where that rumor started but I heard it before. I didn't laugh at him ridicule him, I educated him. I have too much respect for my fellow vets to do that.
