not kept up with all the changes to the laws since I moved out of state.

My friend just moved back, and wants to carry.   Even if a permit is not required she does need a handling and shooting class. and likely still wants the permit.


If no females around, then a decent instructor with several female friendly guns she can try.  she does have a pistol but sounds like it was her husbands and might be a bit to big for her.  


Figured I would give arfcom first dibs before I looked elsewhere. thx

FFA Tampa  as they offer lots of classes and (IIRC) as much if not more training than any range in the TB Area.  

Several Women's specific classes with Mrs. Rose.

thx.  Ill let them know.  

If you are still looking, try Lourie at Gun Craft in Ruskin

ill mention her too.  she lives close to the first place mentioned and said she was gonna go. but not talked to her since.  thx.
