National Train A Teacher Day

June 17 @ 8:00 am – 1:00 pm

This is a free training event for teachers, administrators, coaches, school staff, scout leaders, Sunday school staff, religious leaders, etc. If a participant has children in their care as part of their “duty”, then this event is for them.

We will be teaching the MN Permit To Carry material for this event. This is more than just a gun class. Gun safety, situational awareness, and proper mindset are key components to the class.

For more information about the national event, its purpose and history, go to www.nationaltrainateacherday.com .

We cover mandatory and pertinent topics such as:

  • Firearm safety rules
  • Mindset
  • Statutes on justifiable taking of life
  • Safe storage requirements
  • Elements of self-defense
  • Stand your ground
  • Castle doctrine
  • Restrictions on carrying a firearm
  • Handgun selection
  • Ballistics considerations
  • Shooting fundamentals
  • Interacting with police
  • Permit to carry requirements and restrictions
  • MN Permit application details
  • Permit reciprocity
  • Self-defense insurance

The Minnesota Permit to Carry class will enable you to apply for your Minnesota Permit.  It is also a great gun safety class.  Gun safety and proper mindset are key components to the class. This class will also qualify for a non-resident Florida Concealed Weapon License. The Florida license gives you greater reciprocity if you plan to travel with a firearm.

You do not need a gun to take advantage of this class. 

We can arrange a loaner firearm in 9mm or .22LR.  If you go through with getting your Permit to Carry, your permit will act as your Permit to Purchase.  Minnesota law requires a Permit to Purchase or a Permit to Carry in order to buy a handgun or an “assault rifle”.

What do I need to bring to the class?

  • Identification (Driver’s License)
  • Class fee – FREE for teachers!
  • Firearm with 30 rounds of ammunition, or arrange for a loaner
  • Ear protection and eye protection; the range has loaner protection for free
  • A willingness to learn!

$95 For non-teachers, teachers use code NTATD for $95 discount
  • Single Class Purchase
    $95.00
  • Bring Your Spouse or Significant Other Purchase
    $65.00

National Train A Teacher Day 2023

6th Annual

NATIONAL TRAIN A TEACHER DAY

6/17/2023

http://www.nationaltrainateacherday.com

National Administrator:

Klint Macro                       klint@triggerpressersunion.com                            818-618-8326

Local Volunteer Instructor:

Doug Taylor                      train@HatTrickTraining.com                                   612.940.1580

In response to mass murder events, firearm safety and defensive trainers, instructors, and coaches from all across the United States have come together as a unified front to offer training free of charge to teacher, school administrators, school staff, and those that work with youth in a leadership capacity (athletic coaches, Sunday school, clergy, religious leaders). Saturday, June 17th, 2023 is declared to be the 6th Annual National Train A Teacher Day.

The National Train A Teacher Day movement began shortly after the Parkland tragedy. Firearm safety and defense Instructors, Grant Gallagher and Klint Macro set about organizing instructors from across the country to offer free training on a specific date. The 1st Annual NTATD went off without a hitch in 2018. In 2019 more volunteers joined the effort and even more end users were trained. The 3rd Annual NTATD, in 2020, youth leaders (scouts, church, extracurricular) were added as individuals eligible for training. The 3rd Annual NTATD was reschedule from its original date in June to August because of the pandemic and even though less than ½ of the volunteer cadre were able to offer a program due to local restrictions, training was still provided to hundreds of end users across the nation. The 4th annual NTATD saw much of the same difficulty as the previous year with mandates and restrictions, however, despite these challenges, over 1,000 Americans received training from volunteer instructors across the country in 2021 and 2022, even more end users took advantage of the educational opportunities provided by National Train A Teacher Day.

The United States Concealed Carry Association became an official sponsor of NTATD in 2019, and in 2020 Sabre Red joined the effort. Both have pledged to continue to offer free resources to Certified Instructors who are teaching their respective curriculum on the 6th annual NTATD.

In 2020 and 2021 millions of Americans purchased a firearm for the first time and that trend continued into 2022 and to this day; many of these Americans are teachers, school staff, administrators, and youth leaders. “We are eager for the opportunity to help these people not only be responsibly armed but also ‘Well-Regulated’ and trained as their own defenders”, said, Klint Macro, NTATD Co-Founder.

The overall purpose of NTATD is to empower those who are entrusted with the care and education of our children and to give them the insight, knowledge, and skills to perhaps act instead of react, so that they can save lives.

Training opportunities may cover a host of areas from first aid, Stop the Bleed, crime prevention, firearm safety, concealed carry, unarmed defense, Taser, pepper spray, purpose-built school defense, run-hide-fight, and defensive tactics.

We encourage teachers, school staff, administrators, and youth leaders to look at what’s available in their area and take advantage of these educational opportunities. Similarly, professional trainers in any discipline, are encouraged to volunteer and offer their expertise to help make the 6th Annual NTATD an even greater success. Visit the website often, because each week more instructors volunteer to offer training on June 17th, 2023.

For more information and to connect with a trainer, or to volunteer your expertise, visit the National Train A Teacher Day website at www.nationaltrainateacherday.com.

Let us ALL work together to educate, empower, and protect.

National Train A Teacher Day

The mission of National Train A Teacher Day is to protect kids. Educating and empowering teachers, staff, and admin will help us to realize that mission and perhaps as an added bonus create informed advocates that can influence legislators and school boards in changing policies and laws. 

The protection and security of our children is NOT a “gun” debate. Educational opportunities offered on NTATD include awareness, medical, unarmed, and deterrence training as well as firearms instruction. NTATD is a means to actual solutions that will protect children and stop evil mass murders from happening in our schools. 

We are not advocating an “Armed Teacher Program”, we simply want to abolish Gun Free Zones and allow Teachers, Staff, and Admin to have the ability to arm themselves through all legal means to protect themselves and others just as they can in public, at the mall or in the park. We (Professional Firearms Trainers) are proactively doing “Something” … EDUCATING our fellow Citizens.
