But are you certified as a trainer and for what weapons?

Nope, nor do I tell people that I am. However, they ask me to show them how to handle a weapon, so I teach them the basics.

I like to introduce people to shooting. My wife and I shoot together when we can. I am not a firearms instructor, although I have logged hundreds of hours shooting and training.

Same here. I have a number of different firearms in my house, and my wife is familiar enough with all of them that she can handle them without any issues.

Not to mention the fact that she can pick you off from 200 yards with open sights! She hit the black twice (only fired two shots) with an old Enfield a buddy of mine has. No kidding.

My wife has her Concealed Handgun License and carries pretty regular, especially when out late with the kids. One of the things that I try to do every year is to take a couple of my friends deer hunting; this gives me the opportunity to introduce others to hunting and shooting. I have to say that I find great joy in teaching others about shooting and the outdoors.

Why? What did a deer ever do to you or your friends?

Provide some delicious venison!

IRISH, I worked a large number of deer vs auto accidents in my early trooper days. I now feel obligated to keep the public safe by shooting my limit each year.
