Surely, you don't think students remember anything from a class five years earlier."
Quote from Chas.
I take it upon myself to research and continue learning as much as I can. Even this past weekend I took out my CHL law book I got when I took the class and took a hour of reflection.
Carrying a CCW is IMO a huge responsibility and liability so I want to know as much as I can so I can be prepared for any situation that may arise.
The more you know......I am a firm believer in personal responsibility. Learning CHL laws is the responsibility of the holder. A class whether it be 4 hrs or 20 hrs is no substitute for personal study and research.
It could be a two week course and you still would not learn everything you need to know. I've said it before, I have learned MORE from this forum and my own research than any class I've taken. That is not to say the CHL class or the instructors were bad, just time restricted. As for the money issue, I am not an instructor, but I would not reduce my prices just because the time is reduced. I was more than willing to pay whatever it took to get my CHL and it was worth every cent to me! I got both the class and license at a reduced fee due to former military, but I would have gladly payed full price if that hadn't been an option. Any bills passed in our favor is a win-win in my book!
