IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Hello everyone.
Each of you have attended a course with us or are registered to do so. I am writing to you because YOUR instructors need your assistance with something.
Regarding the new NYS CCW License course:
NY Legislators have proposed a bill to remove an NRA certified instructor from the law that allows us to provide valuable training. The law is proposed out of spite and hatred for those that are seeking reliable and competent training to obtain their pistol licenses. They don't want you to exercise your rights.
A little history. The NRA education programs have been around since 1871 and have been the leading authority in basic firearms education ever since. When people look to civilian based firearms safety instruction, the first place they look is towards an NRA Instructor.
Here's what you can do to help:
Contact your state assembly member and express your concerns and wishes. Ask them to not support this bill. You can even cut and paste the following into an email OR use this as a script when you call them. I suggest you do both.
Cut and paste the following into an email:
"Hello, my name is ----β-------and I am calling about Assembly Bill 6663 which would forbid NRA Instructors from teaching the 18 hour course that is currently required for people to apply for their pistol licenses.
I would urge you to oppose this bill.
Many NRA instructors have authored high quality courses and have been teaching them since last September.
Many course certificates have been issued then accepted by sheriff's offices all over the state and applicants are indeed getting their pistol licenses.
NRA instructors cannot be shut out of the process of providing this service to the public. THEY are the conduit for quality Civilian training.
NRA Instructors and their students are your constituents. They cannot be prevented from both offering quality Civilian Training, nor prevented from obtaining Training.
And they all vote.
Once again, please do not support this bill. Let it die in committee.
Thank you so much for your time. I may be reached at -------------- if you would wish to discuss this Bill further. I would welcome the dialogue and chance to communicate with you on these matters. "
You can find your Assembly person here:
You were afforded a professionally taught course. If everyone does not get involved, then others will not receive the same. They will be subjected to a lesser quality course and will not be as educated as you are.
Please take a few minutes of your day and send an email AND call your representative. Only you can make this happen. WE are counting on your help!
Thank you!
