Anyone whose only knowledge of the law and CHL matters comes from a class every 4 years (or 5, or 10), is woefully undereducated.

I would never say that such people shouldn't carry (I'm a big fan of the Alaska/Vermont system, aka "the Second Amendment"), but everyone who carries owes it to themself to become better educated about the law and ways of avoiding deadly conflict.

The DPS folks that run the CHL program are very protective of CHLs and they are convinced that going 10 years without an update on Texas law is going to cause problems for CHLs.

They they should allow renewals (heck, even initial issue!) to challenge the test without having to pay for the whole class. If they're worried about CHLs knowing the law, what better solution than just letting them take the test?
