I'm already seeing less inquiries and fewer people signing up for classes. I already see fewer students during the summer anyway with more money and time dedicated to vacations and such. It may be hard to get a class to make before Sept. IF HB1911 goes through then I suspect I'll be hard pressed to make another LTC class as an independent. I figure the gun store and range will get most of the customers as they are more public facing. I'll transition into the School Safety Certification but that is a limited pool as more instructors get their SSC license and there are only so many schools that allow their staff to carry. That means I either fall back to NRA courses or private training or hang it up. I've got some money invested in SSC so I hope I can make that work for at least a little while, and that as a former teacher I really want to help the schools out.Charles L.

The training certificate (CHL-100) is good for two years, but people have no way of knowing that until they take the class. Of course, some people may hold off taking the class because they won't apply unless the fee is reduced to $40.
Chas.
I'm certainly not begrudging HB1911 just trying to figure out which way I may have to go.
Certainly some interesting and uncertain times.
