Quite possible.........good catch.........

I never meant to say that she shouldn't have the same rights as anyone else.....I only meant to highlight that I thought new persons (and especially those at a renewal) should have some familiarity with handguns. Her problem was not physical. It was lack of knowledge and practice.

I think the CHL requirements should be altered to include a short proficiency test of safe handling and shooting B4 anything else is done.

I remember in my first class that there were a lot of peeps that had never held a pistol and were pretty dangerous to themselves and others.
Also, in my recent renewal there was a lady back for her renewal and she could not even load her .380 mags or pull the slide back to chamber the first round! I had a brief conversation with her afterwards and she told me that she had never been to a range or shot since she first qualified 4 years earlier!

Really I think all instructors should do the Range portion of the course FIRST and weed out any that are that bad. They should require them to take a handgun training (familiarization) course b4 continuing with their CHL class.
