Both me and my father both took it together and it. was dissapointing to say the least. W e both agreed that this was not right.The only thing i would be worried about if i reported it would be. That it could create bad press for the CHL community. Also I wouldnt want them to say ok well hes not competant as an instructor, so whoever went thru his class their CHL is now not valid. I am a law abiding citizen and wouldnt want to be penalized for another persons mistake.

I think most of the people who take the class i went to, went there because there is nothin to the class other than sitting there for the mandetory time frame. My dad is having a class at his church in january so i will be going to that one. thanks for your response Charles L. Cotton.

When i took my CHL class at the end of may. The course was very non informative. The instructer walked in said hi "walked" us through the paper work, then the rest of the time all he did was turn on a video from the 80's and leave. Most of the videos were how to draw from a fanny pack. Not once did he ask to see any identification, check our guns, go over gun safety or talk to us in regards to any legalities of the CHL. When it came time for the shooting lets just say he was very leniant. After the shooting and a generous lunch break. We returned for more videos, finger printing, and pictures. We even at one point watched clips from jamie kennedy expiriment, and numerous other non CHL related videos. He finally passed out the test and left the room. Never once did he go over anything on the test and the aswers to the test were circled on about half of the tests. If it were not for the chl handbook,this website and my own searching i would have not known any laws or info related to chl. I guess it was just a very awkward and kinda scary experiance. In january my dad is having a CHL class at his church and i plan on sitting in on it so that i can get some more insite and gain more knowledge. What does everyone here think? Is this the norm?
