OK it is law. How many current concealed holders are going to renew their permits? Yes here.

Trish, how about showing the proposed layout and if people give it the thumbs up I'll send the $100.

We were looking at "recruiting" cards since a lot of folks aren't too interested in taking our brochures all the time.  We could have how to join on one side and the safety rules and how to find the online modules for the free training.  Online training will never replace hands-on training. However, we wanted to make sure folks could quickly and easily access the information they need to be aware of what they can't and can do.  All modules will end with statements to encourage them to take advantage of other training opportunities across Nebraska. 

Any instructors who want to help build a mini module or two will have the opportunity to include their training company information as a way to give back for their support.

The only reason I'm a member of the NRA is because I'm a member of the ENGC. (I am a lifetime member of the SAF and an annual member of GOA also)
I only stated NRA because that's the only nationally recognized pistol class I'm aware of. I believe there are more than a few certified instructors on this site who have classes that supplement their income. I am not one of them. However, the NFOA replacing their classes with free ones will certainly take money from their pockets. I didn't think they would agree to voluntarily give that up.
Perhaps you have already convinced enough of them to donate their time and money for the greater good (and the NFOA) I just find that somewhat incredulous. Maybe a one time thing, but that would be all.
I had thought of a workable idea though.
Business cards printed up with the NFOA logo on the front and the 4 rules of safe gun handling on the back.  Perhaps with the advisement "Know the Law" under the NFOA logo. These could be given out to members (at the Gretna get together with plenty of extras to Shooter for gun shows)
If every member who wanted some got 10 or 15 it would both promote gun safety and the NFOA.
I don't know how much a box of raised letter, glossy cards would cost, but I'd put in the first $100 to get 500 made up.

What. Nobody likes the card idea? I looked into plastic ones also. They would be very durable.

I approve of the card idea...however, most people will take one, glance at it and pitch it like so many other "business" cards one receives in life's travels.   
If they were told emphatically to stuff it/keep it in their wallet/purse....maybe they will re-read what's on there sometime down the road when they're searching for that lost lottery ticket.  People are so complacent, its a wonder the human race has survived this long.

The Nebraska Outdoor Ed Center does them. That's where I took my son a few years ago.

I just looked on the calendar and they don't seem to have any scheduled currently, so they may only run those classes in the fall.

Not sure but it is probably good place to ask.  It was just something that occurred to me while sitting watching the Town Hall about Constitutional Carry.  I'll be sure to stop by and check it out.
