Hello All,

I have just taken my CHL class this past weekend. I moved to TX about 3 years ago from WV and had my WV CHL license there. I gotta say, the classes were VERY different. My first class was an NRA approved class, went over laws, the actual guns, calibers, parts, handling, how to hold, safety, etc. and then more info on ammo - parts, calibers, types, etc. This class was only laws, and an hour of sales pitch from Texas Shield Law and I dont remember them saying they were NRA approved. The qualification was much different also, much more strict here on that side than my previous class. The instructor was a LEO. Is this the norm for CHL classes in TX?

My other question is this. We had a very odd character in class. I just dont think he was all there. He couldnt follow the topics, interrupted contstantly with REALLY dumb questions. The instructor and the class were all very annoyed. There were several rounds of qualifications and I would not event step onto the range with this guy on it. He continued to have a lot of trouble on the range and occupied all of the helpers time. I dont know if this guy passed the qual or the test. Is there a way for the instructor to inform the state that this guy should NOT be carrying?

It was so bad, I am still worried about it 3 days later! My DH is a retired LEO and he took the class with me. He had serious concerns about this guy also. I told him, that cop is gonna see this guy again...

Looking forward to being able to carry again. Especially with all the craziness out there these days.
