I guess we lucked out...
We had 15 people in our class and were split into two groups. Eight of us took our lanes and the rest were standing behind watching. We rolled our targets to whatever the first mark is - 3 yards? The instructor told us to load six rounds, leave the guns in single action mode and stop. Then he said to take one shot whenever we were ready (take our time) and stop. Then another. We did the first six one by one, I guess he wanted to make sure we did not have any people who would portray unsafe gun handling. There were two instructors actually walking behind us and tutoring those who did not do so well. Then he said to load six more and stop. Then shoot all six at our own pace. Then roll the targets to 7 yards and load six and stop, then take all six shots at our own pace. And so forth. No one did anything stupid, a couple of people did not shoot great, but we really only felt uncomfortable around one guy who kept asking in class when he could shoot someone. "Well, if I see him breaking into my car, can I shoot him?" "What if he turns around, can I shoot him then?" "What if after he is dead, I arrange him on the ground so that it looks like he was coming at me?" Then he turns to the rest of the class and goes, "Come on, ya'll know you want to shoot someone, right?"
Some scary people out there.
