[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Classes for someone with a disability

Posted: 8/21/2014 10:00:14 PM EDT

Hello. I have spina bifida. I used to be able to walk just fine but I have had some surgeries on my spine the last two years. So now I have to use a walker or a wheelchair. Hopefully someday I will be back to walking. I would like to take some handgun classes and maybe some rifle classes. Are there any instructors that have experience with someone that has a disability. I live in Pennsylvania but I don't mind driving out of state.

Thanks for all the help.

We are in Alabama. We have worked with a few folks with non-standard moving parts. We like the challenge of working with you and defeating your challenges. AL is a far piece from PA, but you have a place on our deck if you ever get south.

Ask in your HTF about instructors, I know the NRA encourages instructors to work with students to compensate or overcome physical limitations, when I took my Personal Protection Inside the Home instructor course, one of the other students was in a wheelchair, he had to put his pistol on safe and place it in his lap to move between shooting stations.

You can train, there are lots of guys who don't stop when life hands them a raw deal, this guy who is on this forum makes life his bitch from the seat of his chair everyday.

That's exactly what I would like to be able to do someday. Right now I just want to learn the basics.

I will keep you in mind. I don't mind driving so you will probably hear from me someday in the future.

Check locally first to save yourself the time and expense of travel.

A "quality" instructor will adapt his teachings to your needs.
