I'm a newly minted NRA Certified Instructor and plan to teach the BASIC PISTOL COURSE in my area. Do all you instructors have separate liability insurance for teaching? If so, do you get it through the NRA or have you found a different source. I realize there is some risk without it, but do you think it's a big deal to go without?

And, another question. Do you, as an instructor go armed during the class? I know the training says no live ammon in the class, but I will have a dozen or so guns for display and handling. Also, there is the range portion. I do not know these students and feel responsible for the class. Thoughts?

Thanks for your thoughts,
Major
