Well, all three certs arrived last night. Actually, not too bad, sent in first application and supporting docs on 18 August and new certs on 14 September. Now just need to print--the range where I teach likes the instructors to have their certs hanging on the wall.

Every airport I have been to has been slightly different. Some more of a hassle than others. Always allow more time for check in.

Background investigation showed complete last Friday. Got the material and test today. YGBKM! took all of 15 minutes and that included the time to PRINT their PP presentation, answer the questions, scan the answer sheet and email it back to them. Reminded them in the email that I had sent them my LT...

If my LTC and Intro To Pistol Shooting classes are any indication, the number of women and ethnic minorities purchasing guns and learning to shoot and carry them is also increasing significantly.

Finally, two plus weeks after submitting everything, I see on the RSD site that my background check is under review. Everything else is green so now just waiting for confirmation and the test. Not much really changed this legislative session other than the clarification regarding grounds where a sch...

Have not been since the September before the Covid lockdown. Want to go back this year if it will ever cool off a little. Have carried at the State Fair numerous times with no issue. Did not look at the link, but anyone know when the State Fair will have their Military Appreciation Day?

Never an issue at Killeen Regional, DFW, Norfolk VA, Kansas City, Raliegh NC, Manhattan KS. Orlando was a PITA, but finally got through their hoops. Did not fly with a firearm in Atlanta, but when they refused to accept my military retiree ID when I checked a bag and they asked for a "State Iss...

You have got them from me.

ONLY YOU may have the key/combination. TSA locks can be opened by anyone in TSA (and quite a few others). If TSA wants to inspect your firearm, YOU must open the case.

I have flown many, many times with firearms, though not in the last 2 years.

Been doing it with both on every requal since 2013.

ARRRRGH Did my application early this morning and paid the fee, then did my LTC-90, LTC-100, and a copy of my NRA Certs, uploaded them all as supporting documents and now get an email that they received, but do not have my application. Called and the nice person asked if I had paid my fee which I to...

Finally got back from vacation and got my paperwork together. Was great to shoot my S&W Model 19 again. I forget how smooth and accurate it is. THINK everything is uploaded now and will just wait for the link.

Agree with Tex. I do not care who is in the class as long as they are legally eligible to possess a firearm. I primarily teach LTC, but also do "Introduction to Pistol Shooting" (not the official NRA Basic Pistol). Over the last 3-4 years I have seen a huge increase in women and minorities...

Great. Hope more districts avail themselves of the options that are available, particularly the Guardian Program. The main mantra of the Guardian Program is PROTECT THE STUDENTS and STOP THE THREAT. In no way are Guardians Police nor do they want to be, but in a situation where seconds can mean live...

All the data I am reading says this dirt-bag was being sent home and was to be discharged following NJP. He then left his unit, joined the tour group (tours of Panmunjom are a common tourist tour) and then ran into the nK side. Leave him there and do not expend ANY effort to get him back. Tell Kim J...
