Re: my chl class, is this normal?

I'm beginning to think better of my previous instructors!

I don't think any of mine were former LE. Maybe that's how I missed out on the story telling.

However, since my last renewal, that instructor has had an ND in the classroom.

Re: my chl class, is this normal?

The booklet you should have received in your class was probably current at the time, but would not include changes effective 9/1/09.

At this site, you can either download the current version in 'clean' form or another version that has the changes marked.

There will be no more changes until 2011.

Re: my chl class, is this normal?

Definitely not the norm!

I’ve been dissatisfied with all four of my classes, but for different reasons. Contrary to your situation, all spent all classroom time ‘teaching to the test’. If you could stay awake, you would absorb enough to make 90+ on the exam. So if you weren’t unsafe on the shooting portion, passing was a given.

But all made errors to some extent. From reports by other forum members, that must happen quite a bit. Reading the Handbook and discussions on the old Packing.org strengthened my understanding in the early days. But PDO eventually went to the dogs. I’ve been here four years. There are many members here, some of whom are instructors, that have a much better understanding of the CHL laws that any of the instructors I’ve had.

I probably won’t take the class in 2011, but if they don’t boot me from here, I figure I’ll still be in good shape. Read the handbook on your own and get updated copies every other year. Then ask questions here about anything that isn’t clear. Texas law makes sure that there’s plenty of that.
