NRA Changes Carry Guard Training Policy, Allows 1911's and Revolvers
". . . our decision to not include 1911s and revolvers as primary firearms in our initial Level I course was a mistake, and we appreciate the feedback we have received from the firearms community."

I recommend going to the site and reading the comments there. Some are priceless.
Also, so much for the NRA groupies in the other thread who claimed "The NRA never said that!!! How dare you!!!". Well, the NRA's admission appears to put those posters into perspective.
The point is NOT that they have rectified their glaring mistake, but: How in the heck did such an INCANDESCENTLY stupid policy make it all the way through the NRA bureaucracy in the first place?? It argues that their thinking machinery is damaged. Or maybe the Frenchman's Fudds are thinking with their PR firm instead of with their membership.
For the record, I'm not against the NRA. I've been an NRA life member for more years than most of you are old. I AM against the ongoing, ossified stupidity, incompetence and shenanigans of the LaPierre Cabal.
Our gun rights are too important to entrust their defense solely to an organization that increasingly appears to be in business for itself. This situation was just one more indication of that.
We pause now for all the NRA groupies to shriek in outraged indignation (again).
