However, a LOT of courses I am aware of do not abide by this, most of my friends who took an NRA course had the legal taught by a retired LEO. What say you?
    I contacted the NRA regarding this and was told in an e-mail that it was between the Lesson III instructor and the State as to whether they were qualified to teach this.

    So, if I wanted to notify the NRA about a "sub-par" instructor how would I go about doing that?

    And has anyone ever notified the gun board that the class didn't satisfy the law ?

    I would assume so, people have been charged with violating the law if they don't meet the requirements in the statute.

    Email the Training Dept. They take it seriously and will follow up. Give them as much detail as posible

    There was an instructor charged a couple months ago but I didn't know if it was a student that reported it or someone else.

    So, if I report the instructor to the gun board on what I have been told by the students in the class, would they investigate on "hearsay"? Any gun board "members" on here that can help out?

    Used the "on line" area for asking questions in the training area last week and haven't heard back yet.

    From a law enforcement perspective, an investigation can be initiated on hearsay. But it would be up to the gun board.

    I see two trains of thought going on here.

    I believe the NRA, after a complete investigation, would do nothing more than to pull the Bad Instructors Credentials.

    I see the Gun Board being the one who would seek a more substantial Punishment for the Individual reported to them.

    I could be mistaken, but just My

    I agree. It depends on the specifics of the situation. If the class is just done poorly with bad information it may still meet state and NRA requirements.

    If the law is violated, meaning the state minimum requirements for a CPL class are not met, you should bring it to the gun board.

    If only NRA guidelines are violated, you can bring it up to the NRA but don't hold your breath.

    Law section presented by video (DVD). Class was instructed to bring 50 rounds of ammo. Range time was approximately one hour.
