Pretty Pistolera's Weekend Update

A very long week is now over. 

I was on the road Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was somewhat normal.  Thursday and Friday I was sequestered in all-day meetings.  I've barely seen sunlight.  And, the weekend was another two days holed up in a classroom.  At least this weekend was gun related.  I took the NRA course to become a certified trainer.  Two whole days.  8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday and Sunday.  I could blog on and on about my 20 hours of NRA indoctrination, but I am just too tired. 

It was kinda like Public Speaking 101 meets Marksmanship 101.  That's not in the college course catalog.  Although it should be.  Details later...

Very cool... I wanted to go through the NRA instructor training, and was scheduled to do it through the MO Dept of Conservation, but something came up and I couldn't go. I haven't seen it offered since. Who offers the training around here?

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm Catching up on my Google Reader tonight I ran across a political test over at Breda's and at Gun Nuts. I didn't think I needed a test to tell me what I am. Especially since I do a pretty good job of articulating my ideology... but, I just had to know what the test would spit out. I'm shocked that my economic conservative score is not higher, like, at 100%. You are a Social Liberal (65% permissive) and an... Economic Conservative (90% permissive) You are best described as a: Capitalist Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid

Class Notes Here is my recap of the NRA Instructor Certification class I took over the weekend: Had a 1.25 hour commute each way Had to explain how to clean a pistol. Guess how many I've actually cleaned in my lifetime? Got a speeding ticket on the way to the range Sunday morning. Only got to shoot 15 rounds. Big disappointment. Had to complete and present a budgeting exercise. The class was scolded because the trainer felt our notes were sub-standard. He collected our notes and had the stones to make negative comments on our note-taking abilities. I was the only student to score 100% on both tests. Who had crappy notes? It was a very long weekend. Why did I do this, you ask? Sometimes John needs a lovely assistant to help out with his bigger classes. Now I can help. However, I will not be training anyone on how to clean a Glock.
