I've done a couple of citizens' academies with different departments, but only pre-CHL. Any guesses as to what their stance might be on participants carrying? I figure we'll ask since when they run the background check they'll see the CHL, but I'd be interested to hear thoughts or previous experiences.
I enjoyed the one I took in Waco, having a CHL was no problem, but carrying during class was not allowed nor while on your ride-along. Discussion during the sessions and before/after class made it clear the officers were not worried about folks with CHLs.
