Fine. But if someone doesn't already know safe gun handling, they should FLUNK the qualification, no matter what score they shoot.

As long as people who do not know how to safely handle their guns are flunked, I have no problem with that.

Sounds like we are in perfect agreement. If someone is rude enough to show up and be dangerous......they should pay the fee to the instructor and go home with a hard lesson in life.

This is the primary reason I never chose to become a CHL instructor....I would be scared and likely run off all of my business. I have a great deal of patience and think I am a pretty nice fellow....that all changes if a gun is pointed at me.

I have to agree that a CHL class that requires the instructor to take time teaching gun handling skills is at least a distraction to others taking the course. Safe gun handling should have not be taught on the day of qualification.

Expecting gun handling lessons at the CHL course is roughly the equivalent of expecting a driving lesson from the DPS employee giving a driving test...it just isn't the way it is supposed to happen.
