Where to find basic handgun training?

[Mosinguy]

Where can someone like me find some basic handgun training? What would that cost me? And since I'm a minor will that prohibit me from being able to get training even with my dad present?

You meet age requirements for NRA already so you should be fine there. NRA curriculum is typically regarded as the base level of knowledge. A lot of it you probably already have so you might think about personal offerings from instructors.

I would check with some of these people:
Training - INGunOwners

Depends on the age though I imagine.

I would recommend finding someone to go through an NRA Basic Pistol course. It's a good introduction.

 

[inccwchris]

I offer an NRA Basic Pistol course if you are interested. Cost is 125 per person and I hold class at Indy Trading Post.

Ken Campbell in Boone County has a great course.

So is this training still available to me even as a 17 year old?

You can train with me, but a parent or guardian will have to be present.

Yes.

Im sure that all the instructors on this board will educate you very well. Speaking from recent personal experience, Coach will give you every dollars worth and then some. Well worth it!

Good for you investigating training, but now you've got to follow through and take some classes. It's too easy to put it off until "some day". Lots of choices here so pick a path and go.

I will be following through once I can get more money and have my dad come with me. I'll be turning 18 in 9 months so there's no better time to get some good training before getting my LTCH.

Now I hear some guys here make someone with a brand new looking gun throw it on the ground. Who are they? Not that it'll affect my choices since my future carry gun is dedicated to service not safe queen status and I like "beauty marks". Already have a few on my 2012 made 92FS.

+1 for Fortress Defense

Great instruction from Great Instructors. They offer a range of course from novice to advanced. Including handgun, Rifle, Medical, Force on Force, etc

Cost is very reasonable for the training you receive.

Good choice. Any gun I own for potential defensive purposes gets the **** beat out of them. Get the new rubbed off of them out of the box and you won't be prone to babying it.
