  • Ex-sheriff officer may be my tutor

    I am on a 70s reunion committee with someone who graduated three years before me (so I didn’t know her before Facebook).  I mentioned on FB that I am thinking of learning to shoot, but would need instruction first.  She said she may know someone who could teach me, so I asked her to send me details in a private message.  Turns out her husband is retired from the sheriff’s department and teaches CPL classes (Carry Pistol License).  She had him send me a friend request and I sent him the same note I sent the shooting range instructor.  I got back this reply:

    Hello Sheryl! I would be happy to meet with you and take you to the range. I am a member at the [edited] Sportsman’s Club in [edited]. I can access the range at any time. We could meet at the house here or your place if you want. I have a variety of guns you could handle to see what you like before we go shooting.

    Some of my background is I have been a competitive shooter since 1978 winning numerous titles around the country. I have been a firearms instructor since 1985 and ran the [Edited] County Sheriff’s gun range for 2 years. I am an Armorer for many different types of firearms which means I know the mechanical operations of the guns. I recently retired from the Sheriff’s Office and still work there part time.

    I would be happy to work with you and if you want I could put you through the training necessary to qualify you for your CPL!

    I just responded “Sounds good.  I think Roger may also be interested.”  I’m going to talk to Roger about it tonight when he gets home from work.

  • That would make me supremely comfortable in learning to shoot. Awesome. 

  • This sounds like a great idea!   Have fun!  … Because it IS fun :)

  • If I was closer I’d be trying to tag along

  • He sounds like the perfect instructor.  It sure helps to have someone you’re comfortable with.
