Scuttlebutt going around that the NRA has quietly passed the word to its certified instructors to avoid this effort at the risk of their certifications. The rumor has it that you have been directly told such by the NRA.
Any truth there? have you heard anything similar?
First I've heard. That is news to me. If there's more I'd like to hear it.
