Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

The listed section is viable for private trainers, not certified, and no State backing is needed. The test of proficiency is the course, the exam, and the attesting of the private teacher or examiner. No "instructor's" paperwork is needed, and even the entire experience of the trainer is not needed. Again, after consultation with the state, Private Trainers such as MCCW are viable, safer, and legally binding. Call your local county seat if you doubt this written law. The fees for NRA or State Instructors are for classes only; and the test of proficiency is, itself, the course and exam. But do find someone who is a professional and educated beyond most Federal Authorities, because the Trainer does have to attest to each individual's proficiency, personally.

Phil - I'm still waiting for you to tell us what MCCW stands for whether your company is a registered entity, sole proprietorship, or other entity.

Until I see this information, I will continue to lock your posts, and eventually will have to remove you from the forum entirely. This post will remain open for awhile so that you can post this information.

Have a safe 4th.

How are you safer and what do you mean by legally binding?

Is it just me, or does anyone else see a glaring contradiction here?

He's trying to imply that his training requirements meet those set forth in Virginia Code section 18.2-308G(9) and that you can prove proficiency and file for your CHP based on his training.

My personal opinion is that the Va Code identified above leaves it to the objectivity of the judge who's signing the CHP and that there's no guarantee that he or she would deem you "proficient" based on this training. On the other hand - you get an NRA certified course or the widely accepted hunter safety course, and you're in, no questions asked.

Maybe Mr. MCCW is suggesting that his is "supplemental" training. I have yet to get a straight answer from the guy on anything. He has suggested that I check him out by calling the Spotsylvania police orbby calling him directly...I'm really not interested. If I spent my hours checking out every flake that visits this website, I wouldn't have time to do anything else.

I find that locking posts and banning spammers and flakes is very efficient and effective.
