Had a class of 22 Students today and because of the people on this forum..being as professional as ya'll have been with great attitudes, excellent questions as well as answers and this forum being made up of mostly new shooters who have just received their CWL or are waiting for it but with some very experienced shooters helping out..I've started recommending this forum to every new student who comes thru one of my classes..Hopefully we start seeing some of them contributing to this great forum..Those recommendations dont come lightly folks..Keep up the good work.

Sir,
It is because of folks like yourself that make this site a great place. There are a lot of knowledgable people on here but it is those who share that knowledge freely that make this a great site. The only place we have to go is up. Thank you for your service and thank you for parlaying your knowledge.

Thanks for recommending the forum to your students SwampRat. You have been a contributing member of this forum since it started :thumsup

Don't thank me guys..ya'll deserve the credit..I'm on alot of forums but this one is Florida specific. It has a good mix of new and experienced shooters that I think my students can benefit from, whether reading or participating. We've got a good mix here without all the snobbery on some of the other forums..Hopefully we can keep the neighborhood feeling going on in here..

SwampRat,

Are your classes usually this large? Was this a class for CC License only? A lot of classroom time and a bit of shooting to show ability?

I'm just curious as to how you could facilitate such a large class. [Not questioning *your* teaching ability by any means.] Our class was limited to 10 people but then again, maybe it was to accommodate the size of the classroom itself.

Just wondering.

Also, were any of these attendees your neighbor's daughter and any of her friends? I do not want you to lose the opportunity to get those young girls in a practical, safety class of any kind. The window will close on that high alert mentality and they will sink back into 'it can't happen to me' mindset before you know it.

No that particular girl wasnt in this class...I normally limit my class size to 10..But this class was held on private property with range already setup. Yes it was a Concealed Carry Class... All the students were Firefighters, EMT's etc and their wives, mothers, girlfriends and this was one of the 3 shifts. I'll be going back again in the near future..Everybody got plenty of shoot time in, one on one instruction and 3hours of classroom time..We held it outdoors, great weather, everybody had chairs we set up in a semi cirlce...Lot of fun for me, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and teaching all those folks.
