Announcements of Courses

Glenn E. Meyer · July 6, 2000, 10:24 PM

A question for the gods. I've friends who are in the training business and let me tell you that they have to hussle to make it a go.

Is it possible that a discrete announcement of an upcoming course be posted in the appropriate forum? Like the handgun one or the
rifle, etc.

Abuses could be curbed easily by the moderators.

I think this would be a good idea as by supporting these folks we support more folks being firmly in the camp of the RKBA.

Note I have no financial interest in this. In fact, they cost me TOO MUCH MONEY

I certainly can't speak for Rich, but I believe there have been announcements like you describe in the past and they weren't deleted or locked. As long as they don't turn into examples of spamification, I have no problem with simple discrete announcements of courses. I would say they can include links but not graphics concerning the course.

Rich has the only and final say on this.

Edmund Rowe has posted training announcements here before. They were training classes held at our mid GA club and other places nearby.

I think Lok N Load forum is where they were posted.

Announcements are welcome, short of spam. It's tough to be a responsible gun owner when you're self trained.

Lock 'n Load Forum is appropriate for these.

These announcements are welcome in Lock and Load. Just dont do that "Back To Top" thing so much - I hate that...
You could be more creative and say "Did I mention a TFL Staff 50% discount?" stuff like that is great.
