NRA Advanced Pistol Instructor's Certification

I am proud to say that I was informed on June 13th by the NRA's Training Division that I am one of the first instructors in the nation to have the new Advanced Pistol Instructor's Certification bestowed upon them.  This new certification will allow instructors such as myself to bring civilians who are new to defensive shooting up to speed on tactical pistol work.  I applaud the NRA for taking a giant step in the right direction.
