I believe the right to self-defense with a firearm is universal. Race, sex, age, religion, political leaning, beliefs, height, weight, gender, handicap - every adjective and concept people identify with and as - still they have the right to defend themselves.
Starting the responsible journey of safe firearms handling through proper instruction is an intimidating one. Imagine doing so with something others would deem a stigma. As a firearms instructor, my goal is to be as welcoming to all as possible, because alienating a student can create a very negative long lasting ripple effect.
There are multiple demographics that want to be students and learn without the burden of being a outcast from the accepted social norm associated with firearms. They are not looking for special treatment. They are looking for instruction in an atmosphere where their primary identity is student.
What firearms instructors do you know that feel and conduct their classes as I described? I'm looking for instructors to pass on to help some friends.
