I'm not going to tell the story. It wouldn't be right. But the person had been convicted of manslaughter. And that's all I gonna say about that.

I guess their felony was 'special'..

You got that right!

DPS does not regulate how much instructors charge, or how they run their classes, as long as the minimum training requirements are met.

Per DPS direction, every student has 3 opportunities to pass both the written and handgun proficiency tests. No one fails on the first try.

That being said, I have thrown one student off the range for unsafe gun handling. After several corrections, he just could not/would not follow directions. He had the opportunity to come back later to qualify, provided he followed directions. He must have chosen not to, because I have not heard back from him.

I have also "counseled" two other students out of the classroom. One didn't understand english, at all. (I have worked with students who could not READ english, but not understanding the spoken language just doesn't work for me) The other would not have passed the background check, based on the history he related to me.
