Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA
Well the carnage is finally over. Another NRA instructor block is in the books. It is a very long week then at the end we do a RSO class. When they all go home I then have to clean all the firearms the students have been pawing all week long. They have to literally, with their own hands, demonstrate that they can load and unload plus clear malfunctions on every action type. So I dirty a lot of firearms! Right down to the difference in unloading a floor plate vs box vs tube magazines, single action vs double, side by side vs pump. You get the idea! The pix is only one table. It is a lot of hands on but I feel explaining it and demonstrating the skillset are two totally different animals. As an RSO they do not get to dictate what kind of equipment a guy may show up with at the range, so they darn sure better be able to load and unload it gracefully! We never would have made it without coffee and snacks for me!
