The range test to be allowed to take the first NRA defense course is he/she has to load the gun and fire at a stationary target without sweeping anybody.

For even more excitement try doing shotgun live fire with 12-year-olds in hunter safety class.

And yes, there are some students I would rather not try to teach.
However, if trained instructors can't bring new people into the shooting sports, then who?
I'm fairly in the corner of I'd rather give them a single action... Your argument really doesn't hold much water it's just personal preference. It's your class like he said but you're also just simply making a decision. And not one based on anything other than opinion.
