I would like you guys insight on this one.
As you all may know i belong to a hunt club that allows members to close the range down for parties, etc for a fee of about $50-70. My friend became a Police firearms instructor this past week and mentioned doing ccw classes. He says his instructors certification allows him to do so and he would like me to ask about closing the range down every few months to do a class of about 10 people and that he would charge $100 per person and split it with me if i helped as a RO. Before anyone gets all up in arms about me being upset about the range closing down and now us wanting to do the same we were pretty much told that's the way it is, like it or leave so i guess i have to join them. Below are my concerns.
1) I mentioned liability to him and he says what liability? I said what if someone gets hurt and he says 10ppl max 2-3 people watching them as RO.
2) I don't have a RO certification but i do hold a Police firearms training certificate, 20hr initial class with 8hr re-qualification yearly. I think i know what I'm doing. lol. Do you have to be a certified RO to do this?
3) The club currently has a CCW instructor who charges $100 per person and gives the club $50 to use the facility just like everyone else. Now, this is hear say but i was told he gives $50 of each student to the club. I cannot see this guy doing this because what profit is he making? I was also told he must use his insurance for the classes and not the clubs insurance. Again, all hear say but it makes sense to me seeing how greedy the club is.
4) I was concerned they would not allow it due to having a board member (25yr member) already doing the classes. My buddy says when you pay to rent the club and range its closed for you and whoever correct? I said yes, they do grad parties, family reunions, etc. He says how is it any of their business if we are doing a ccw class or a family reunion? The other guy cant teach them all and this would be people we found for the class and not dipping into his pool of people.
Your thoughts?
