Has it always been this way? I have had a Shield 9mm with the green Crimson Trace laser for the past 8 months or so. It is my first laser equipped weapon. I cannot use it for my next renewal class?

Sure you can use the Shield 9mm to qualify with but you cannot use the laser just turn it off or cover it.

There are no renewal classes (anymore) so you won't get the chance.
I believe the TAC states lasers are not permitted. I'd guess many instructors won't let you use a handgun outfitted with a laser unless you can prove it's disabled.

There are still renewal classes for instructors, but you still would not get a chance, because the laser is not permitted. I do not make students prove it is disabled, I tell them if they use it (even if it accidental turns on) they will be immediately disqualified and have to redo the proficiency part of the class. (they get 3 chances to pass). If an instructor does not notice that a laser is being used then maybe they are not doing their job.
