Do I have to be a certified instructor?
I like to teach people how to shoot. Not the advanced stuff, just the basics. I’ve taken several friends to the range to shoot for a first time, and that's where the fun is at. If they want to get better instruction, I point them in the direction of some pro instructors, but I am basically competent to show someone the 4 rules and some basic marksmanship.
I had the operator of an indoor range tell me that according to PA law, you have to be a certified instructor to give any instruction at all. I can only assume that he meant I would need the NRA Basic Pistol Instructor course. I will eventually take it when I have the money. Is this guy correct? I don't even know where in PA laws I would start looking to find such a law and I didn't find anything when I searched the forums.We've been monitoring him on the e-mail for a while. --York PD Lt.

I would have asked him to site exactly what ordnance states that, then when he couldn't come up with an answer, go back to instruction your friend and ignore him completely.
If God didn't intend us to have guns why would he have given us a trigger finger?

I like how everything has a law. You can't... You have to... blah blah blah cause it's the law. People make my head hurt.
