As discussed in several recent threads, there seem to be a few instructors who don't teach the full curriculum.

Okay, so maybe he didn't have a good instructor but there are DVD's, books, etc that can teach you stuff. Like the Armed Response DVD's. No excuse not having a good instructor. IMO Also just common sense gets you a long way.

IS a serious situation but I had to laugh at the IDIOT w/the gun saying he was aiming to shoot the driver not the tires and thought he was protected by the castle doctrine. How long has he had a CHL? I would venture a guess that he slept thru most of the class and highly doubt he is a member of this forum. I am beginning to think that, just maybe, there should be a written pyscho analasis part of getting a CHL, some shoot/no shoot questions, what if questions etc. to really make sure people are awake during the class. I know this would probably make it a 2 day class but evidently some aren't getting the jest of it after 10 hrs. Being hot, tired or upset when on the road is no reason to open fire on another driver. A CHL is to protect yourself/family for imminent threat/fear for your life not just if you have had a bad day and think, "by golly I am just going to go out side and find something to shoot at". Maybe instructions should be on the back of the CHL license. If this type of stuff keeps happening we are all in jeopardy of not being able to carry a gun for SELF defense. The other driver who said he was just messing with the shooter - He really had too much idle time on his hands or a really bad sense of humor. I am not refering to the Idiot with the gun as a CHL holder cause he doesn't deserve the title.
