CCW Instructor recommendation for my daughter

[GetMeCoffee]

My daughter (mid 20s) has expressed interest in getting her CCW. She's a novice, having only gone to the range a couple times with me. Does anyone know a good instructor in Placer County (Auburn area) who teaches women's classes?

A friend had recommended Dennis Bartoldo, but I found that he passed away last year .

As a CCW instructor who has volunteered at many CGSSA Women On Target events, I think she should take more than one class. She should take a good beginning handgun class or two and then take a CCW class once she feels comfortable and competent with her firearms(s). IMHO, a CCW class is NOT the place to learn to shoot. BTW, I had a 22 year old lady and her uncle in my class yesterday. She had no problem qualifying with her G19 and after she qualified, a few of us offered to let her try our smaller carry guns just to give her a little more experience with a few models before she buys something else.

I agree with the other comment that she should probably take at least a into to handgun class first. I have used One on One Firearms in Rancho Cordova for a couple classes including CCW. I don't think they have any women's only but they are really good. Always been a few women in each class https://oneononefirearms.com/

I agree. I figured that she'd start with a beginners course. I'm hoping to find someone that she can be comfortable with. She isn't one for group events. However, it gets me thinking about doing a family group with my wife, me and her. That is if I can keep my mouth shut and let the instructor teach them (and me) ;-).

Come on down! I don't often get a chance to do a beginning handgun class but, I have one scheduled for a husband and wife this coming Friday. They want more/some training before they apply for their CCWs. I can squeeze two more in if need be. I wish I had plans to head up your way soon. I don't get to visit the family cabin in King's Beach often enough.
