@WV64Signet thanks so much for the response. Pure speculation on my part but I am envisioning our self defense students or security team folks taking the next step and encouraging their spouse or spiritual partner to join them in learning how to be a better protector for the ones they love. Not to say it cannot be Joe Shmoe off the street. Evolving the thought a bit does it make sense for both applicants to already be an alumni or provide proof of previous training? I think yes, no way I want a total noob with a gun in hand behind me with their hand on my shoulder. Or perhaps have it as a two day class? Day one, ensure student has fundamental platform of safety and marksmanship, then, day two meld the training from previous day into two man stuff? Your point about the kids in house was exactly where I was going with regard to making the class home defense based not “door kickers”. It is all about context, some folks use ARs to defend the house some use shotguns and some use pistols. But the one thing they will all use is a flashlight. So some low light training also makes sense. This thing is getting more complex the more my thought process evolves.
