The only time I wear mine is when going into an elevated risk area or situation. .. such as collecting rent or handing out eviction notices … if the area or tenant is questionable. It was given to me by a cop friend that thinks I need it because of the areas I go into for work. The vest stays concealed when wearing it, of course.

Giving gun safety/use courses is a hobby/personal mission for me and almost exclusively with older ladies… Usually 1 student at a time and often I have an assistant (sometimes my wife, and formerly with another certified instructor until he died recently). The shooting is done at a private range or the local police range. The 1 on 1, or 2 on 1 approach makes it where I don’t have nearly the problems that you pros have to contend with. The most we taught at one time was 5. The "second instructor" is also to help the student be more comfortable.
