We should all know our limitations in whatever endeavor that we're engaged in. You reckon?
In fact if you can't operate a manual transmission there is another option out there for them too!+1frazzled wrote:Oldgringo wrote:FWIW,dac1842 wrote:I know many on here disagree with what I am about to say.

I go to the range at least once per month. I do this for my peace of mind that my weapons function as intended, also to teach my 16 year old how to handle firearms (He has been shooting since 10) and because I really enjoy it.
I agree many license holders need lots more practice. In my CHL class we had two women in the class that brought the weapon to the class still in the box. Both had semi autos and had no clue how to load the magazines, how to insert the mags into the weapon or how to drop the mag once all the rounds were expended. I wish the CHL instructors would make each student demonstrate the student knows how to load, unload, field strip and make a weapon safe for inspection before allowing a student to go through the class.
However I do believe that the CHL instructors may disagree. They are not there to teach the basics of gun safety. I too would like to see some type of safety verification on handling a weapon. I remember before I even handled a gun many many years ago I went to a gun safety class when I was 16. (My dad insisted) Still today I use and think of those methods I learned over 30 years ago whenever a weapon is in my hands...ya I know I am old!!!

Blatant disregard for the safety of others on the range will get you tossed in a heartbeat. Skill problems, equipment problems, we can work on that. But we don't put up with attitude or behavior issues.

I would hope so but I believe that she should of not passed since she missed most of the center of the target and was very unsafe with her weapon. But hey I don't think I will ever run into her anyhowWildBill wrote:Pistol storm 40 wrote:The CHL instructor will not sign their form if they don't get a passing score.TxFig wrote:I like cute, one-liner responses as much as the next guy.
Has a CHL instructor on here not pass a student?????Well I guess I know my answer now! I was wondering if anyone has ever flunked their CHLTxFig wrote:I like cute, one-liner responses as much as the next guy.
But anyone have a SERIOUS response to this?
You would think if she is unsafe now she must of been during her qualification!
