Right, but what about those that are not serious about it? Those that DON'T read up on stuff like you did? I'm worried about those folks who go out and buy a new gun the day before, never having shot a handgun in their lives. Those that have no knowledge of gun laws or even glanced at a law book or written materials. There's still people out there, believe it or not, that think they need a CHL just to keep a gun in their home. Many also don't know about having one in the vehicle either (PC 46.02). I get where you are coming from, I'm just saying I'd rather not "water down" the class for the new students like who I mentioned above.

Carlson, you assume all new students are up to speed on laws & handguns, this is far from the truth. 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.
