I'm an NRA pistol instructor. I've had several parents ask me to instruct a children's introduction to firearms safety class when it gets warm out.
For those of you who are instructors, have you done something like this? What would you include? How long would the class be? Any suggestions would be helpful.
My initial thoughts are: insist 1 parent attend with the child, limit size of class to no more than 5 kids, teach a quick version of Eddie Eagle first, then the NRA safety rules. I have a Ruger 22 pistol. Should I also get a small .22 rifle or just concentrate on pistols?
Please give me as much commentary as you can, so I can develope a quality program that will keep the kids interested.
