I would like more details on how he accomplished this? To my knowledge, it's impossible without major alterations to the cartridge or chamber?

Sounds pretty outlandish too me.

I tell everyone that the class, and range qualifications were not difficult, for me but that I do have an extensive background with both firearms and law enforcement. I tell everyone that they need to gain proficiency with their gun(s) before taking the class. I emphasize that the, LTC instructor, will not train them on handling firearms or shooting, and that they need to find a local basic firearms course before taking the class, otherwise they will not only face unnecessary stress with trying to " learn on the fly" but will be unsafe to themselves and others.
I was fortunate there were no students in the classroom, who weren't proficient enough to be able to safely handle their guns, but the instructor told some horror stories during the safety lecture, to demonstrate the type of things that would cause someone to be removed from the range.

Again, I don't believe that there should be any more requirements to obtain an LTC, than are already in place, but I think that the uninitiated, should be made very aware of the fact that taking an LTC class will not train them on how to safely operate, or effectively shoot their gun.
