That's your choice. Other people make different choices.Seabear wrote:I have seen many videos of different types of firearms instructors, and I have noticed that many wear an exposed pistol on their hip. I don't do that because I am teaching "CONCEALED" Handgun Class. Heck I usually have a few students that will ask if I am carrying because they can't tell if I am or not. Sometimes we'll make a bit of a game out of it and take a show of hands to see how many think I am carrying at the end of the day when we go to the range.
So, my question is this. Do any of you carry in the open while teaching ?
Just to be clear, I don't and don't want to.
Some firearms instructors teach handgun marksmanship classes. Some teach tactics classes. Some teach rifle classes. Etc. If you want to carry concealed while teaching a CHL class that's your prerogative. However, an instructor teaching a 3 day advanced class is not obligated to conceal on the range. He may not even be obligated to conceal off the range in states like Arizona.
