I understand what you are saying. I do t know the answers. May a remedial short bus class.

You have people applying for several reasons, & some barely know how to shot or operate their handguns. Many have never even glanced at a law book or have even the slightest knowledge of gun laws, etc. I agree with the previous posters that 4 hours is too short & is not good for the types of students who are coming in ill-prepared or applying for the wrong reasons. I'm very against HB 47 & very much for HB 383.

Read my post. I said it is their responsibility to be read up. When I did my very first CHL class I read the book cover to cover before I have went to class. I was already two steps ahead on my pistol. Me and my wife spent three weekends so I could show her.

Ten hours is not enough time to take someone from zero to five much less ten. If they are serious they will do a lot prep work before they show up. Which in return make four hours plenty.

I am not an Instructor nor do I think I could be one.

I look at this from a student who is very familiar with firearms and some knowledge of the Texas law. I do not see the need of ten hours course. I believe the four hour course is an excellent amount of time.

I have never understood the ten hour class. They should have read their material and already know the end and out of their firearms before class begins.

This is just to prove proficiently to begin with. Not boot camp.

They take pre-classes on the handbook. If unsure on a firearm then they are plenty of places to do that.

I would be one student that would not sign up for more than the minimum.
