14 THE INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT Klint serves as the President of the Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League (ACSL) and the 2nd VP of Firearms Owners Against Crime Institute for Legal, Legislative and Educational Action (FOAC- ILLEA). Wearing these hats, Klint has submitted testimony to legislative committees, presented material to elected officials, fought against anti-Liberty legislation, promoted pro-Liberty legislation, and helped to hold elected officials accountable by writing various papers, releases, op eds, and raising money to fund legal actions against local tyrants and restrictive government agencies. NATIONAL TRAIN A TEACHER DAY Klint is one of the Co-Founders and Administrator of National Train A Teacher Day ( www.nationaltrainateacherday.com ). In response to the Parkland school mass murder, fellow trainer, Grant Gallagher contacted Klint and asked him to help him organize a National Train A Teacher Day. On this day each year, the independent firearm defensive and safety instructor community would pledge to offer free training to the teachers, school staff and administrators who are charged with the education and safety of our children. Klint wasted no time and within 3 months organize over 150 instructors across 40 states. These volunteers successfully educated and empowered 100’s of teachers across the country on May 19th, 2018. Klint was successful in securing the USCCA as a sponsor for 2019 and 2020. Taser and Sabre Red are also sponsors in 2020 and with their assistance National Train A Teacher Day educated and empowered over 1000 teachers. Klint now administers National Train A Teacher Day by himself and the 5th annual NTATD will be observed on June 18th, 2022. In 2022 DC Project, A Girl and A Gun, and The Armed Women of America have all partnered with NTATD. The overall purpose of NTATD is to empower those who are entrusted with the care and education of our children and to give them insight, knowledge, and skills to act instead of reacting, so they can save lives. Training opportunities on NTATD may cover a host of areas from first aid, Stop the Bleed, crime prevention, firearm safety, concealed carry, unarmed defense, Taser, pepper spray, purposebuilt school defense, run-hide-fight, and defensive tactics. Teachers, school staff, administrators, and youth leaders are encouraged to look at what’s available in your area and take advantage of these opportunities. Similarly, professional trainers in any discipline, are encouraged to volunteer and offer their expertise to help make the 5th Annual National Train A Teacher Day an even greater success. Visit the site often, because each week more instructors are volunteer to offer training on June 18, 2022. “I just do what I do. I hope that, through my own work, I can help motivate and empower my fellow Americans to take on the responsibility to be their own family first responders and in turn be positive ambassadors of our individual Rights and Liberties.“ - Klint Macro For more information on how to connect with a trainer, or to volunteer your expertise, visit the National Train A Teacher Day website at www.nationaltrainateacherday.com I urge you to visit Klint’s website as well at www. triggerpressersunion.com to also learn more about this unique instructor for yourself.
