Have a friend that's looking to start carrying soon, but is still on the fence about it. I suggested he attend a handgun training course. I'll probably go with him as moral support. Hell, he doesn't even have a pistol yet, so he'll probably borrow one from me.
Looking at reputable basic handgun courses in the Atlanta/ North East GA/ TN or Southern SC region.
I looked at cmshoot's training schedule and didn't see a basic handgun class this year.

Advice appreciated!

There are a lot of good instructors in Georgia, hopefully one with some classes coming up will be along shortly.  There are also a few places in Alabama I've heard good things about if you don't mind a little drive.

I don't know that I have the room/time to fit a Basic Handgun class in this year.

I second the recommendation for Sparrow Defense.  He also does private lessons.



I will be teaching some classes later in the fall, but I haven't locked down the schedules yet.  Mostly I teach in Oconee County, but I may be doing some stuff up in Franklin County.  Here is the link to my company:  Proficient Strategies, LLC.  I am also available for private lessons.
