No, it most likely wasn't an NRA class. Probably something he cobbled up on his own.

Quote:
The NRA has a rule against bringing ammunition into a class, said Tom Wagner, a NRA instructor in Orlando who was not involved in Saturday's shooting. He said the association has "no problem yanking a certification if the rules are being broken."

This was not the first time something's gone wrong during a gun demonstration in Orlando. In 2004, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration shot himself in the thigh with a .40-caliber Glock pistol while talking to schoolchildren about gun safety.

What a great instructor I mean we all have had instructors that told us treat gun as they are loaded and not put our finger on the trigger, but how many of them actually demonstrate why we shouldn't he's just got a unique teaching style.

True. And the newspaper is only reporting what the police said was told to them by someone unnamed at the church. But, if the NRA instructor claimed it was an NRA class and also brought live ammunition into the classroom, the NRA will be happy to explain that that means it wasn't an NRA class, nor was it how the instructor was trained to teach. The ammo stays out of the classroom, and is only used at the range. That means the instructor wasn't following the NRA curriculum in his class, regardless of what he may have called it. This result is why the NRA has that safety rule, and the instructor had to have known it. Presumably, this was supposed to be a Personal Protection Outside the Home class, but clearly it wasn't quite.

In the "Teach the teacher" instructor classes I've taken they did teach us to involve the student in the lesson plan....to make them a part of the presentation. Also to stimulate different senses to enhance learning.


I don't think this is what they meant

Whatever happened to "Kindergarten Cop?" That video was scary as all Hell. Thank God he didn't shoot a kid or a teacher. He was limping, so maybe he shot himself in the leg. When that gal brought out the long gun, I cringed waiting for an AD from that!

On the plus side, KC had great oratorical recovery, telling the just terrified kids and teachers to "learn" from his "mistake."
