I was not and did not mean to infer your behavior was childish... just that I strongly disagreed with what you were saying... If I ever choose not to participate here, it would be for a number of reasons not just one.. besides..

I think this might be a classic case of intent being lost in the written word in an online forum... or I suppose MAYBE I took you a little too literally in what you were saying at the time.. Apology accepted and next time i will remeber this time.... in hopes that I will not "Jump The Gun" (pun intended) in the future... besides...

Brokensprocket just started a new thread about a positve encounter with a pastor... that put a smile on my face...

So I guess you guys are stuck with me...

Happy to be stuck with you. We may not agree, but that's no reason to leave. There have been many unintended consequences with the carry law and it will be a bumpy ride till things settle out. It is what is.

The hunter safety education curriculum is designed for ages 12-16 years old and is oriented to safety while hunting. I conduct hunter safety courses and have not altered what we present because that would be off topic of our goals in the class and not relevant to the bulk of the students in the class. I would suggest it would be inappropriate to change this course for this purpose, we have a lot of material to cover already.

As I organized my most recent course I was a bit concerned that there would be a large number of adults taking the class so they could get a concealed carry permit (thereby taking up spots that would normally be taken by kids who want to get out to hunt with their families); that did not materialize at all. We had the same number of parents and grandparents sitting in the class with their children that we usually see. No one expressed the view that they were there to meet the concealed carry permit training requirement.

Interesting enough my sister texted me to tell me she completed her hunters safety course an could go hunting this year. I texted her back asking her if she was going to apply for her cc permit. She replied that the instructor told her IF SHE WANTED TO CC SHE NEEDED TO TAKE HIS CC COURSE TO QUALIFY. This was a downright lie and misleading. Interesting that a "volunteer" is lying to people to get them to take his course that he gets paid for. She was specifically told she HAD to take the cc course to qualify, not SHOULD. "volunteers" who misrepresent the law for personal gain should face serious consequences for such actions!

Call him up and take him to task.
