Local Firearms Safety Instructors

Western MA/Northwest CT Area

I'm an NRA/MA Certified Instructor offering NRA Basic Pistol classes twice monthly at the Hartford Gun Club in East Granby, CT (just west of Bradley Airport). The facility includes a 10-position 50' indoor range and large classroom. Two instructors per class. Live fire session includes opportunity to shoot both rimfire and center fire. NY residents can participate in live fire training due to the course location (illegal within NY).

PM or e-mail me for additional info. Sign-up locations include West Stockbridge, MA and Windsor Locks, CT. I accept credit cards through secure PayPal e-mail invoices - no PayPal account required.

I have been trying to get a LE (pistol/patrol rifle/shotgun) instructor course for years...and since my Chief is lame and content with the one he has, now I have to look elsewhere. So I am looking for a starting point to become an instructor...so far I have checked GOAL among other things. I am in the Leominster Fitchburg area so anyone have any thoughts send em my way. I could read the whole post here but that will take days...

It reads like you are looking for the MPTC Firearms Instructor course?

If so, either check out MPTC's website or call them to get the info on when/where it might be held near you.

This thread serves a very different purpose . . . it's aimed at NRA Instructors who train civilians and give them a MA SP Certificate to get their LTC/FID.

LenS is right it seems like you want to take the MPTC fireams instructors course. this covers Pistol, shotgun, and patrol rifle. It is nearly impossible to find a course after all the budget cuts.
 
CCW Point Blank

This is neither a Basic Home Safety nor a Basic Pistol Course; this program was developed with the cooperation of Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, designed specifically for Civilian Concealed Carry Applications. Do to the material that we cover the program is 16-20 hours long and the class is kept to a small size. We utilize the AFS facility in N. Attleboro Ma for both classroom and range. All of our drills are presentation from the holster under stress fire conditions. We also offer Non Resident Florida Concealed Weapon License and Individual Training. References gladly given upon request. For additional Information view our web site at
