I feel the 10 hour Class has a screening value. It evaluated the social interaction factor of the individuals. Yes, the test can be cover in 4 hour. Just my two cents.

I'm curious about your thoughts (or thoughts from others) about how the social interaction factor gets evaluated in a class. I ask this because I heard some downright scary conversations and questions during the course of the class I attended (i.e. some folks seemed like they couldn't wait to go on vigilante duty once they got their CHL). Best I can tell, these folks qualified for a CHL just like everyone else who completed the course and range qualification.

Do instructors have the ability to screen folks who give information during a course that indicates they may not be ready (or mature enough, or have the right attitude, etc) for a CHL?

(Hopefully I understood your comment correctly and my question is in context.)

Thanks.

Outside of contacting our Representatives and voting in this poll, is there something we could be doing to counter the one sided feedback being given now?

Thank you.

Not answering for Chas....

What is your position as I am a little confused on your statement "counter the one sided feedback being given now"

Are you saying it is one sided in this thread or one sided in the media?

Sorry, been a long day. I was referring to Charles' mention of House members only getting negative feedback at the moment from a small group of vocal CHL instructors (I presume trying to preserve their income by maintaining long classes).

I intend to contact my representative and voice my support of HB47. Just wondering if there's something else I can do.

Thanks for the note.

Charles.
