I've been helping teach a group called Young Marines every month or so with TJ Johnston in Orange. Good group, kind of an outreach to urban kidsin the Inland Empire, mostly, run by Marine retirees and reserves.

We give them (and some of their families) the NRA Basic Rifle on .22's and get them properly started out on safety, gun handling, rifle shooting. The kids range from age 10 to 17-18;

Great fun and spiritually very rewarding; no money, though

Actually, it's good practice for me, especially working with TJ. I have all my NRA Instructor Certs but haven't done a 'solo' class yet; still arranging venues and budgets.
