Hi Everyone!
I have become more and more interested in becoming a formal teacher/trainer of proper firearm safety and useage. I personally feel there is a large market for under-trained or "skiddish" people that would welcome training if they knew how to get it.
I have informally trained a few family members, friends, and co-workers, but I am not formally licensed. I've just gone through a few youth safety courses.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction for what I would need to start down this road? Who can I talk to about getting properly "licensed" to teach in a public setting?
I am looking to help spread the knowledge in the Northern Indiana area, specifically around South Bend.
Any pointers from other trainers out there? How did you start?
Thank you for any advice you can give. Both firearms and training have been passions of mine.. and it makes perfect sense to me to combine them and help strengthen our community.
