WOW! This is what I love about this forum. There is alot of experience and wisdom here, but as we are all individuals, there is alot of difference of opinion too. I see that most of the posters on this thread are senior members and are well versed in the subject. If I may, I would like to interject some opinions from a relative newbie. I, like most of you was brought up around guns and have been shooting for over 40 years. But, I am new to the CHL community (haven't even got my plastic in yet). I have read (several times) the CHL Statutes, and like to think I have a good understanding of the law. I mostly agree with AndyC's opinions posted here.

I saw several people in my CHL class that acted like they were there for the fun of it. They did not take things seriously (in my opinion), and scared me at the range. But they passed and are carrying among us.

There have been many valid pros and cons stated for shortening the CHL class, but one thing I have not read yet is this. In my opinion shortening the training time would be a Godsend the gun grabbers. One thing we always point out in debates with these fools is that CHL holders are a cut above the average joe carrying a gun. We take pride that we are law abiding and well trained. If the instruction time was reduced, and a CHL holder, God forbid, made a bad decision and used his/her gun unlawfully, the TV reporters and gun grabbers would have a field day. This would only provide more reason for them to push their anti 2A agenda.
