With so few Instructors that will be allowed to attend this course, it would seem they would take the best qualified. (I did not consider myself really qualified to teach some of the subject matter required) I would venture to guess that 90%+ Instructors are not really qualified either. We all know Instructors that have "been there, done that" and they should get first shot at this.

Just got the email from DPS that says the first class is full (12) and that all other applications will be put in order that they were received. IF they have another class they will contact you and for us not to call and ask.

So the course for us to be Instructors is 3 days of which there is probably 2 days of instruction, then we are to teach someone who is a Firefighter, EMT, Paramedic WITH a LTC, a course that could take 40 hours. How much can you charge someone and then dedicate an entire week to teach the course. How many students can afford the course then dedicate 40 hours to take it. How many Fire Departments will let their members carry? Am I missing something here? Read this. It explains the law https://www.ems1.com/guns/articles/what ... l0gRE/.The term "First responders" DOES NOT include Volunteers EMS, Fire Fighters and Police. Also each First Responder that carry's must have a $1 million liability policy that he/she has to pay for. Also a department is not required to allow the responder to carry even if trained. They must also go through a 10 hour refresher course every year.
