Gander Mountain - Firearms Training Seminars?
I was at Gander Mountain yesterday and saw that they are getting ready to expand a huge area of the store exclusively for firearms training courses and seminars. Is this a local thing or are they going into this in all of their stores?'
I just found this interesting and wondered if anyone else knew anything about this. |

Well, since I don't know where you're from I can't answer whether it's local or not, but I can tell you that the store in Lake Mary, Florida is doing so. So if your store isn't the same one, then I'd guess it's more than just a local thing.
In fact, when I was in there I was "engaged" by the gentleman who is expecting to teach the training there. He was quite insistent that no other training could be as good as the courses they are going to offer. I didn't argue, mostly since I had other sheep to herd at the time. He expected that they would be open for training in January or thereabouts.

I am aware that some of the stores, in Iowa have been holding these classes for a number of years, especially with the new changes next month.
Many conservation groups are also sponsoring these new classes, mostly with certified NRA, in structors. ...... Be Safe !!! |

I don't even know what "state certified" means, so let it go.

For clarification, the Lake Mary store was the one I was referring to.

I would imagine that "state certified" in Florida means that the training is sufficient for the state CCL. But IIRC, so is the NRA course.
