I have two handguns. I was trained first for a job that I had, but took the NRA Personal Protection Course as a refresher. I can't say enough good things about the NRA course, EVEN if you never get a firearm! They teach you some really good ways of protecting yourself without the use of a gun, and how & when to use it. You get to practice on several different types of handguns (automatic, revolver, etc) with trained instructors.

The way our course went, we had six hours of basic instruction, lunch, then six hours of weapon instruction, all on a Saturday. The next Saturday, we had from two to six hours of Rifle Range usage. IF you're going to get a gun, I highly recommend going to the range, because you learn range etiquette & such. I shoot a 96% moving, 98% stationary target.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me!
