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.
Awsome.
