Thanks for that info. How much of a difference does the instructor of the instructor's course make?
Why would Goal's course be 3 days as opposed to this one day? The NRA site is rather lacking in information.
Some Training Counselors will bundle Basic Pistol with Firearm Safety in the Home into one 2 day course (that's how Scouter-Rick ran his when I took it). I am not familiar with how GOAL does there's, but I'm guessing they do something similar. The TC's I've met seem pretty together and have been doing it long enough to know when someone gets it or doesn't. Of course, not everyone is cut out to teach--I know that's sort of an obvious point, but you asked how much difference does the TC make...it makes all the difference, AFAIC. Sure, anyone can walk you through the content but the good ones will make sure to stop and ask if there are questions and the great ones will know the room is full of shit when they collectively say "no" but the body language says "yes" and will expand on the points in question without embarrassing anyone
I can't recommend Rick enough--he's the latter.
