First, I want to thank Mr. Cotton and everyone else for your inputs.

As it happens from time to time, one of my students has now decided she wants to carry a SA. What I understand, so far, is that there is no offense, but she might be hassled, if she shows a NSA Type CHL while carrying a SA. We are told to use the most current version of a form, but the new CHL-70 has no provision to modify a CHL to reflect SA.

My question is how can I help her other than suggesting that she call the CHL Unit of RSD? Surely waiting a few years until renewal is not the only solution. If RSD answers my question, I'll post the answer here.

We know that HB 3142 became effective on 6/14/2013. Until I attended the CHL Instructor Recertification Class on 11/6/2013, I was under the impression that there is no longer a distinction. However Sherrie and Sgt Bamsch made the point that HB 3142 only applies to New Licenses and Renewals after 6/13/2013, and reminded us that CHL Instructors should not interpret the law.

The new Form CHL-70 no longer lists the option to modify the action type. What if a person has a CHL with the NSA Action Type and now wants to carry a SA Action Type?

I have submitted the question to RSD, but have not gotten an answer so far.

Has any one received a ruling on this yet? Perhaps someone in the next CHL Instructor Recertification Class can ask for clarification.
