Not to tell you all how to run your classes, but a little thing I used to do when I sold tires, was explain to them that "as they had just spent $800 plus, on a nice set of quality tires, an $80 Alignment is pretty cheap insurance that you are gonna get every last mile possible out of those tires."
Same goes here; A person makes the decision to protect themselves and their family from harm, Take the time to get a purchase permit, spend time researching the best handgun for them, purchase said quality firearm and ammo, spend the time and money practicing and getting to know the firearm maybe take an introductory course, put down the cash and set aside time to complete the required CHP course, then more money, fingerprints, info, and blood from your first born for the application. After all this, a Free membership into a local gun rights group such as, oh maybe the NFOA, and even maybe a small donation of cash and/or your time, is pretty good 'insurance' that you will get to keep your firearm for the defense of your family, AND secure your children's right to do so in their future.
And as for those that are afraid to get their "name on a list" (as was posed to me last night) I say, not only does the NFOA not share your info, but by the time you have gone as far as obtaining a CHP, you are already on no less than 5 'lists'.
(sorry, as stated before, I work at night, alone, I tend to think alot!)
