Is anyone taking defensive handgun classes at shootrite this summer (Or interested in)? What about closer places? My wife gave me this for my birthday and I would be like to see if anyone wants to share gas on the trip up so I can save my money for ammo.

Sound,
I have a friend that will be teaching a class this summer locally. You will probably spend less tha the cost of travel. He is an accomplished shooter & teacher.
There are also some classes that Pangris is trying to get locally.
Thanks,
RDO

Tiger is coming here in September for a carbine class and Awerbuck is coming next spring for a handgun class.

Anyone know anywhere around here that I could take an "NRA First Steps or equivalent" course? I'd like to attend one of his defensive handgun courses this fall. Unlike others in this thread, I have no military or prior formalized firearms training.
Have you taken a CCW course? I'd imagine the NRA Personal Protection in the Home course (taught by the CCW instructors) would be equivalent. If you don't have your CCW you could just take that course practically anywhere.
You can apply for the CCW up to a year after you take the course. So take the CCW class now, then Shootrite, then get your CCW when you feel you are ready.
I did some quick research on the NRA First Steps program. It seems to be much more basic than the NRA Personal Protection course:
FIRST (Firearm Instruction, Responsibility and Safety Training) STEPS is the latest addition to the NRA's training programs for new shooters. It provides hands-on orientation to one specific rifle, pistol or shotgun model in as little as three hours, including a one-hour shooting session on a range.

Thanks for your help. I emailed Tiger to confirm that the Personal Protection course would meet his prerequisites. I also just noticed that he's going to be here next year for the vehicle defense course. But it requires 2 prior handgun courses, which I certainly won't have by that time.
Keep in mind that, while a lot of CCW classes are based on the NRA Personal Protection curriculum, the majority (in the Baton Rouge area) are based on the NRA Basic Pistol currriculum.
There is a huge difference between the two courses (I am certified to teach both). I strongly suggest making sure that the CCW class you take is based on the Personal Protectioncourse.
