NRA Carry Guard on the 1911 banned: We were wrong

From Guns.com:

In response to clear feedback surrounding the NRA Carry Guard Level I course announcement, we have modified the required firearm platforms as well as our site language to clearly articulate how firearms will be used in the class, said Jason Brown, NRA media relations manager, in an email to Guns.com.

Bottom line: our decision to not include 1911s and revolvers as primary firearms in our initial Level I course was a mistake, and we appreciate the feedback we have received from the firearms community, he added.

    I agree it was probably a mistake to exclude two very valid carry options from the course, but the sheer level of butthurt expressed by people has just been off the charts funny!

  2. majmike Says:

    As an NRA Benefactor Life member, this incident has proved to me that I don’t need the NRA’s Carry Guard instruction or insurance.

  3. rickn8or Says:

    majmike, my fear is that NRA’s insurance will become mandatory, “just like car insurance.”

  4. mbogo Says:

    It was a bad decision, and most likely made in consideration of some other money-making proposition being planned for the future, e.g., an “official striker-fired handgun.

  5. Sigivald Says:

    Huh.

    That text was from the NRA itself?

    From context, it originally looked like it was just that guy, at that range.

    (From NRA it’s really weird that they’d have chosen that wording.)

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
