I don't hand hold. I don't load the mag or show them which end goes to the front. If I don't see enough holes on the paper, if they can't load their own gun, that's just how it goes.

As instructors, I think we have a duty to only let those who can operate their pistol pass the class.

Otherwise, why test at all?

The result is that many students decide to wait on the shooting test until they can either get help or work with me one on one. I then get a call and they just show up the next time I have a class.

I've never had a complaint that I know of.

They should have been kicked off the range after pointing guns at people. They were hand held through the shoot and passed. Now they don't even requal. Pretty scary to think they are carrying guns.

Except that many of those type get the chl so they can hang their certificate on the wall, look cool to friends, but never really carry.

I have to disagree. "Many of those type" showed up in renewal classes reporting that they carry.
