As I said, I could not verify it either way. There were lots of stories like that in training back then.
1987!??? Your academy days were almost as long ago as mine.... (1983)

If shooting skill is the problem, I know at least two instructors who will work with the problem student to get them over the hump. I suspect most would approach the problem that way.

A certificate (TR100) is only issued to a person who completes the written and firearms qualifications. If a person does not finish, for any reason, then no TR100 is issued.

DPS does not get into how instructor's manage their classes.

I have yet to remove a person from class for boorish behavior. Many people show up to class mistakenly believing that it is a "teach you how to shoot class". In that case, as an instructor and not simply a test giver, I work with the person to insure they CAN be safe and qualify.

However, I would not hesitate to remove a person from the range who refused or was incapable of following safety instructions.

I have not yet needed to remove such a person from a CHL course, but I have in security guard classes.

That said, if the student demonstrates the state requirement on proficiency and safe handling, regardless of how weak they were, they earned the TR100.
