NRA Personal Protection in the Home?
Has anyone ever taken this (or a similar) class? They offer it at my local NRA place and I am thinking of signing up - would love others to weigh in:
NRA PERSONAL PROTECTION IN THE HOME - $120/person - 8 hours, (Classroom: 5 hours; Range: 3 hours) - To develop in the students the basic knowledge, skills and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family, 
and to provide information the law abiding citizens right to self defense. - Introduction to defensive shooting, basic defensive handgun skills, firearms and the law, strategies for home safety and responding to a violent 
confrontation, selecting a handgun for self defense. - basic skill and firearm safety I have my first gun and, although I already have a pretty basic understanding/ability, I would like to get help with defensive/strategy planning. Thoughts? |

I teach the NRA Protection in the Home course. I like it, it gives a good basic intro to both guns and shooting, as well as giving a nice intro to general safety issues. I think you'll like it.

I'm biased, I used to instruct it too. I recommend it highly as a good way to get started on practical home defense planning.

I am NOT an instructor, but I took the class and thought it was really good.
$120 seems a bit expensive though... |

I'm okay with paying $120 for an 8-hour course. Glad for the recommendations, will be signing up this summer!

Took it a couple months ago - good class to take. We got a bit more class time and a bit more range (1.5 days total), but was probably pretty much the same thing.
