The "procedural" time (filling out forms, pictures, fingerprints, etc) is not supposed to be counted toward the 10 hours of class time. That's supposed to be instructional time only.koolaid wrote:50% of the time is waiting for the class to get fingerprinted, do their shooting test, getting forms signed, getting photos, etc.boomerang wrote: If they teach the things they're supposed to teach about the law, nonviolent dispute resolution, etc. there's not a lot of time to teach remedial handgunning in a 10 hour class, but maybe in a 15 hour class. Not that most video junkies teach a full curriculum, but there are lazy and incompetent people in every profession.
I'm pretty sure that isn't what was intended with the 10 hour requirement, but that's how it is.

Re: my chl class, is this normal?
Yes, the test was STUPID! But that's not the instructor's fault. The OP's instructor should absolutely be reported.ELB wrote:My wife and I have had CHL courses from Sammy Miller in San Antonio and Mike McCann in Seguin. Both peace officers, both did very good jobs. I have some beefs with the test and some of the curriculum -- like why bother with test questions on administrative trivia on how many times your license can be revoked before being suspended? (or whatever that silly question was) - - this is stuff you could look up when you need it. The class needs to focus on what you need to have instant recall on --- use of force stuff, 30.06 issues, not administrivia. I suppose you should know you have renew every five years and do a change of address if you move, but beyond that --- look it up!
But Sammy and Mike did good jobs, I've seen them both in more than one class. That instructor in the OP needs to be de-instructorized.
My instructor(s) were somewhat unorganized, as one was delayed due to LEO duties he didn't expect. And that delayed us, and broke up the continuity of the classroom. Also, I had an outdated pamphlet, and a test that was missing the last page. And also incomplete instructions to the shooting range which delayed things even further... But other than that, all went well.
