2 Factors for me played a role in waiting so long.



1.) COST - I just got a full time job last year and until then money was tight that spending money on a CHL was the last thing I needed to do. There was first the cost of Application, Class, then I needed a gun etc. All in all the cost of getting my CHL including GUN, Holster, Belt is going to run me 8-900.00


2.) TIME - I just never could put 10hrs in one day. And after taking the course, I really don't see a need for it. I wish they would do it like they do the Hunters Education Course. You go over the material online. That way you can go over the powerpoints, etc online, then you go to a simple 4-5 hour class to go over it all, ask questions and take the Test and Shoot. I mean seriously, did any of you actually think you had to attend 10 - 15 hrs of instruction. It's all common sense material that could be learned in probably 30 minutes.



EDIT: I just realized I already posted in this thread LOL

I'm new to the Forum.

I just applied for a CHL last Monday and got my Packet and Pin in the mail this last Friday.

I'm 26. What took me so long was Cost. 140.00 for app and 125.00 for class was lot for me especially on a college student budget. Now that I'm a full time employee and get a decent check I can make the leap.

I'm signed up for the Class on the 21 and hopefully soon after I should be getting my license.
