Is there such a beast?
The company I work for buys firearms. It’s not a huge part of our business but it’s a thing. And we’re growing pretty fast. Recently the owner has gotten worried about what might happen if a new employee has an accident while evaluating a customer’s gun.
Heretofore all training has been given by myself and a couple of other employees who are very familiar with guns, from decades of personal or military experience. Problem is, I have no real, official “qualifications” myself other than owning way too many guns. I took an NRA basic pistol course once that cost me a couple hundred bucks. That’s it.
Owner wants me to find “real training” for employees, whether that’s all newer employees or maybe just the senior ones who have something to do with guns or gun training.
I look at ranges locally and I see plenty of tactical training, CCW training, carjacking training, basic semi auto handgun and basic AR type rifle training. (And more advanced courses to use these guns in combat.) Nothing that really is marketed to, say, new gun store employees, and promises to familiarize people with everything from a Mossberg 870 to an AK to a revolver to a C96 Broomhandle, which is honestly what we need.
Does anyone have any suggestions for programs I should look into?
