It is a letter sent out by the NRA to all of its certified instructors. As I am certified to teach Basic Pistol, I received it. It really doesn&#8217;t say anything different than what was <a href=\"https:\/\/home.nra.org\/nra-members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">placed <\/a>on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nratv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.nratv.com<\/a> website.
