Gary has said, at different times:
I do not want to see cut rate prices harm our industry, or harm the excellent work the established instructors have done for our Great State Of Nebraska.
I am not looking for price fixing, I am hoping for trainers of quality, first.
If a trainer would read, and follow these teaching ethics, we would have a higher quality program in Nebraska.
Either you are making assumptions about other programs that you haven't attended, or you have direct information that other instructors are not teaching the required State Patrol curriculum.
If the latter is true, you should report that, including details, to the State Patrol, so that the particular instructor should be investigated, and if necessary, have their certification pulled.
If the former is true---as many people have said, it doesn't really matter, and comments like the above don't help.
People can charge whatever they like. If someone decides one day that they are rich enough that they can offer the CCW class for $5, there is nothing stopping them from doing so.
Nor does it automatically mean that low prices equate to a poor class. I personally think that the class that I offer is worth the price I have for the class (and I charge $125)---given the duration of the class, the material offered, the practice and help given, and the materials requirements, the price I charge seems reasonable to me. And yet, someone else can charge something
completely different (for example, less than I do) and it makes little difference to me.
If a particular instructor is doing a poor job, eventually that information will become obvious, and people will stop going there. (Actually, given that people only need to take the CCW class once, it'll probably take awhile for that information to come to light, since people won't ever have to make any direct comparisons, but that is a different conversation.) And if a particular instructor is doing an excellent job, eventually that information will become obvious also.
The Nebraska State Patrol has a set of requirements for teaching the NE State CCW course. Unless an instructor is doing something such that they are not fulfilling those requirements, they can teach their class however they like, and charge whatever they like.
If they aren't fulfilling those requirements, and someone has specific information about said occurrences, then they should be reported so that the State Patrol can do something about it.
If someone
doesn't have any specific information, then they probably shouldn't be making written statements that are potentially detrimental or damaging to someone else's reputation or business. Particularly when said written statements seems to be directly focused on a particular business.
