The Top Ten Signs You Picked The Wrong CCW Instructor

  1. He starts off his safety speech with “Accidentally discharging a firearm is something you need to get used to.”
  2. He has a Mayors Against Illegal Guns challenge coin.
  3. He spends more time complimenting your choice of camo gear than he does correcting your shooting stance.
  4. He says “Ok, here’s something I learned from Call of Duty.”
  5. His handouts  on aiming refer to “site picture”.
  6. He’s wearing a drop leg holster. On his arm.
  7. He’s proud of the fact he’s teaching the same stuff they taught in the 50’s. The 1850’s.
  8. His talk on the legalities of carrying a firearm is just “Shoot first, ask questions later.”
  9. He says he can’t pick up yours or anyone else’s guns because his felony conviction is still on appeal.
  10. He starts off the range session with “Here, hold my beer while I try this.”

What being a gun owner is not

  • Being a gun owner isn’t being a gun nut 
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you need to buy Mossy Oak clothing (unless you own some already)
  • Same is true of RealTree 
  • You don’t even need to know what MossyOak or RealTree is in order to own a gun
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you have to watch Duck Dynasty
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you start using tactical as a noun
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you want to buy this
  • Or this
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you vote Republican
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you’ll be signed up for the NRA against your will (although joining of your own volition is a really good idea)
  • Being a gun owner doesn’t mean you’re compensating for something

Being a gun owner means you’ve realized there will not be a cop around when you need one, and that you are always going to be your own first responder.
