I would agree. periodic refresher training is a good way to ensure the CHL population is made aware of any changes to the laws that may impact on how or where they carry. We are all responsible for our actions; training helps us all to better understand those responsibilities under the law.

Are you saying the training should be required by law or are you saying we should all be responsible and obtain the training we determine we need individually.

I will put it this way, if it did come back I would not rant and rave about it and attend the class. If it came down to a negotiation point to get OC passed then I would not voice opposition although I may not like it. There is always give an take on such an issue even though we might not like certain aspects of it. We all know that most CHL holders do not stay up to date on the current laws, there are instructors still telling students of off limit places that have not been in effect for years. I feel that the members and frequent visitors to this site are the exception rather than the rule.....
