handgun class for a wedding present

[Captiontom]

My sister is getting married at the end of the month. I was trying to think of a present, but didn't want to do the classic gift of kitchenware. I was at the gun store looking to buy a gun for myself when I asked if they had any advice on a pistol course for myself. I'm going to do a private lesson with the guy sometime this month.

the beginner pistol class is 4 hours long with the majority of it actual shooting. My sister is new to guns and her soon to be husband has hunted quail and dove with me a few times, but doesn't own any guns and is still at the beginner level of shooting.I would pay for the class and provide pistols and ammo, a .22 for my sister and a 9mm for her husband.

I thought the gift would be nice because it's a life skill that could save there lives. My sister has loosely talked about getting her ccw when I apply for mine so I have a feeling she would benefit from it.


Is the gift a gift only a man would enjoy and not really a wedding gift or is it a good wedding present.

Good gift for your sister but not at a wedding. Don't they have a registry?

I am a certified instructor and can take care of you.

Stick with the registry. That's why she has it.

great holiday present in December....give it early?
or a birthday present?

Man, I would have loved that. Wouldn't have needed it, but the thought is fun.

Does this happen to be The Range beginner pistol class you're referring to?

No, sun mountain gun club. Doc teaches it. I don't like indoor ranges much, my brass always bounces off the roof and onto my head

my wife and I would have loved a present like this as well.

[General]

That's a great idea. It'll be the talk of the wedding.

Okay good because I was going to advise against their class. Over half of the class was safety (narrated mostly by the DOJ Safe handling video) and the other part of the class consisted of about 10-20 rounds of shooting per person, and there were only four people in our class. Not worth the $100.
