I just took my CCW class from Stengel Gun and was quite dissapointed in the way the material was presented, the classroom and the shooting. Which consisted of shooting at a piece of notepaper at about 10' any number of rounds. One lady refused to shoot utill she was told she had to to get the certificate. Her husband helped her load the revolver then she fired about 5 rounds and never hit the paper. Casey, the instructor helped her reload, then she fired about 3 more and did hit the paper once. Casey yelled at her at one point cause she kept pointing the gun everywhere but safe. I would have flunked her on the spot, but no, he allowed her to pass. It's hard to accept that this ignorant woman will be carry a deadly weapon. Stengel spent way too much time telling us about his extreme prejudices and intolerant views than giving us any real instruction.
I took a CCW class several years ago in Kentucky and what a professional class that was. He talked about best/ safest ways to carry, good/bad holsters, firearm and ammo maintence, being aware of your surroundings, your rights and responsibilities and top notch oversight of the range. Stengel barely touched on most of this.
