Training in my area?
All I see around the forums here are these training classes. Whether new to guns or not, guys seem to rack up training. I figure, the more training you have on your "record" the better. Especially when making a case to get non resident CCW's from other states. I have enough for Florida. However with other states it couldn't hurt my case, or hurt me for that matter. More training = better gun handler.
Problem is, I live in Altoona. There is nothing around here. I don't have the time and money to drive somewhere and stay overnight. I want to go to something relatively close and there seems to be nothing. I figured being Altoona...one of the areas more 'populated' areas...there would be more training.
Does anyone know of anything?
Also, side question. I'm sure I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway. When getting "training", say someone is a formal instructor for a government agency...but they are no longer. Can you be 'trianed' by them and have them sign a document and that count as training?

yep
maybe if you post in your area and recruit at your local club or here on the forum for local emebers you can put something together.

Re: Training in my area?
Its about 80-90 miles or so from Pittsburgh, depending on where your going to course.
I don't know people at my clubs (the ones I currently belong to). They aren't exactly happening places, that's why I go there. I was shot at at my old club. Vast majority of the time I never even see anyone when I'm there.Last edited by Franky4Fingers; October 8th, 2009 at 07:16 PM.

Well, its a bit further than that, but yeah...its close enough
I know exactly where that club is,... been there a few times. I'll have to contact someone there about if they are planning to bring anything back.
