I think it's fair to expect students to know how to shoot and how to handle their gun properly before they come to the CHL class. A class with half a dozen students could have a 1911, a Glock, a SIG, a Taurus 85, a Ruger Blackhawk, and a HK P7 with the heel release. I don't think an instructor should have to spend individual time with each student explaining how their gun works. They chose their gun and they should know how to use it before they show up in a CHL class.Stupid wrote:No part of the class was about ensuring each applicant know how to handle at least his/her gun properly, which is quite disturbing to me.
I was disappointed in the CHL class I took a couple of weeks ago because they spent so much time on remedial training and not enough time on the things I think a CHL class should focus on, like gun laws, use of force, nonviolent dispute resolution, and other things beyond the basics. There are already classes like FIRST STEPS if someone needs to get up to speed before taking the CHL class.
